Lou can't go as it's his wife's b-day that Friday...or is it that Saturday?...any way his wife's B-day is that weekend.....you know how that goes, right?

I have to wait till my manager gets back from his vacation so I can ask him about getting Friday off. I can't say more than that at this time.

:cheers:

I'll be going Friday am. What time do you plan on being on the road ?

@ 10 am. No traffic get to the fairgrounds at a few minutes after 1pm.

Frank -

What route do you take? I prefer to take 287 down through Morristown NJ and pick up 78 heading into PA.

Scott

[FU]

Route 78 at Newark. taking your cell phone number ending with 923 ? I should be on route 78 by 11am.

[94Admiral]

Anybody else in?? Maybe meet up just before the PA border. I think there is a rest area at mile marker 8 Westbound....can anybody confirm this? Target an 11:30 meet up time?

Wayne,
Let's start to come up with a tentative travel plan? Leave Thursday AM/arrive early PM? Pls give me a call, my phone #'s on my card (I'm pretty sure you've got one) or PM me. I'm open for any plan that works for you. How's I-84 via Scranton to I-81 sound? Keeps us off the CT Turnpike (torture) and far away from NYC (insanity) and usually has lite traffic. Perhaps we can get others from the NE to travel with us? Scott? Bob (Andersra)? Mike Beal? (Mike, I go right thru Middletown to get to I-84) Anyone else?

I95 in CT is a construction nightmare right now. Doug - you are smart to avoid it!

I can't leave until Friday morning. Plan to meet up with Frank in western NJ.

Looking forward to the festivities!

Folks,

I plan to go down Wednesday afternoon. Be on the grounds by 8:00 AM Thursday. Most of my 5 hours down is on I-81 southbound. Doug, you have my cell # call me I'll give you an I-81 southbound road report Thursday AM.

:cheers:

John,
Sounds like a plan!
Thanks,
Doug

John -

Any chance you can post the SB I-81 road report after you arrive? I remember a couple years ago it was all chewed up with a lot of debris....thanks.

Sorry Scott,

I don't have any way to do that. I remember two years ago the debris on I-81 southbound was terrible near Scranton.

I'll PM you my cell if you want to call me Thursday morning, or maybe Doug can post the info Thursday after he calls me. If someone shows up at the Registry site with the hardware maybe we can do it that way. I think Doug just got a new fancy phone????

John :cheers:

Wayne,
I'll give you a call when you get back. We can meet up somewhere on RT 84. Where in MA do you live? I'm in Mystic CT
