Re: Caravan to the 20th Anniversary Gathering 2010
This is coming along pretty well. 10 confirmed so far. Later in the year, or maybe after the New Year, I hope to start calling/looking around for reservations and stopping points to possibly pickup some deals for motels and where we can be hooked up with. Anybody from the stopping points, or close to them have any ideas please be sure to post here or pm/email me.
I'm really looking forward to this, it ought to be a blast.

Re: Caravan to the 20th Anniversary Gathering 2010
John, check out some of the motel coupon books, they have some pretty good deals. I've used quite a few of them, savings can be as much as 50%. You can also get coupons on-line.

If you get to North Platte off and on, any chances you can scope out some motels for us to reserve and stay at? I believe we are of course looking for hotels that are in decent areas with good access to eating establishment(s) very close. Maybe a Mom and Pop type hotel that would be grateful for us staying there and filling their rooms for a night would be sweet. Any other recommendations you might might have on North Platte would be great.

Re: Caravan to the 20th Anniversary Gathering 2010
I will check on hotels for you. North Platte has built up at I-80, so it basically runs through the city now. Lots of places to eat close by.

Re: Caravan to the 20th Anniversary Gathering 2010
John, I am going to be joining the Caravan either in Omaha/Council Bluffs area, or possibly near Nebraska City, NE area(just off I-29, exit 10).
At this exit there is a BP and a Shell Station (in the centeral mid-west area ALL Shell station, their Premimun gas is ELTHNOL - I think also all over torwards BG also). Also at this exit there is a resturant in the BP truck stop - across the street is a Wendy's. This might be a good place to stop for gas and a break for lunch - it's 278 miles/4 hours from North Platte(short way) or 321/4.5 if you go through Omaha. A lot would depend on what time you are planning on departing that morning. Let me know what you think - we'll need to do more planning as the dates get closer to link up. We had less then a inch of snow last night, but North Platte had 16"!!!!!

Re: Caravan to the 20th Anniversary Gathering 2010
Best route is Hwy 2 around Lincoln to Nebraska City. Hwy 2 is four lane from I-80 to I-29
