Well, I am not sure how long the caravan will stick together as some invlved will want to drive a bit faster than others. But anyway...

I plan to drive fairly sensible 60-75 depending on how the Canyon handles the load. I'm taking it on a trial trip to work Wed to get a feel for it since it'll be the first time it's towed anything.

My trip Thursday will be as follows:
  • 9:30 leave home, gas up etc.
    10:30 arrive at Casino Queen parking lot just before crossing Mississippi river on Hwy 70
    11:00 Call Loeryder and get the scoop on times and locations
    11:30 Probably going to be time to get back on the road... 12:00 at latest!!!
    12:30 Meet up with others on west side of StLouis near St Charles/St Peters
    * (this time and location will vary +/-30 min. depending on others involved)
    1:00 Hopefully back on road again
    2:30 Columbia MO a bit short of half way possibly take break depending on how others feel.
    * (personally I plan to drive straight through)
    5:30 Arrive at NATS and check into hotel
    This time line leaves plenty of room minor setbacks so we can stay on schedule
Of course when traveling as a group you can only go as fast as the slowest member. I guess there might be a chance that it'll be ME. I wouldn't be offended at all if everyone else wanted to drive faster, go right ahead I'll be ok breaking away from the group. I'll have some basic tools in case anyone needs them along the way. Also I'll have my cell phone number available to anyone that wants it... JUST ASK! I am pretty sure I have reception all the way there.

Anyone that wants to join me before crossing into MO is more than welcome. As mentioned above, I'll be at the Casino Queen for about 1 hour around 10:00-11:30. I believe it's exit 3 just as Hwy 70 meets up with Hwy 64. It breaks off to the LEFT under another ramp. The casino is just down to the right beyond the BLUE BRIDGE (you'll know what I am talking about when you see it). There are signs as well so it's pretty easy to find.

Well, that's my tentative schedule that probably won't change except for as mentioned in above schedule. I'll probably post this same message in other threads so everyone has a chance to see it. Remember to PM me if you want a cell contact number to keep in touch during the trip and to help us all stay on schedule.

Thanks everyone, see ya there!

Yup, Plan is to wait up for Morgan and Mike, but if the clock strikes noon before you guys are here then I gotta head out.

Whoever wants to keep waiting is more than welcome I just have to get to KC by 4ish. Actually I SHOULD be there earlier, but that's the latest I am worried about.

Anyone from StL/IL area that wants to meet up:

StL SyTy will be stationed at the old Noah's Arc restaraunt at around 11 am.
Taking 70 W it will be the first/second exit after you cross the Missouri River, the exit is Fifth Street South. (Ameristar Casino is the Fifth street North exit)

You can't miss it, its a giant fuggin Arc on your left.
