OK Trip Tiks, here it is Tongue

If you're leaving on Wed from NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, etc and want to jump in, start sounding off. I'll start studying maps for rally points for us to converge and we can all agree on some hook up times. Wink

Wink

We'll get a listing together with cell #s so we can stay in touch.

I plan on making my return Trip starting Early AM Sunday...

Sound off if yer interested!! My first member gathering in 6 years!! And at MAM - it don't get much better than this!! Clap

Most direct route for me is I 90 to Buffalo then right along lake Erie into Columbus. Man I just hate the thought of trailering through Penn. Ever since I was a kid I learned to hate I 81 through that never ending state. Sorry to give the Penn people a bad rap but I can't help it. Love Hershey, York, and Poconos.

I'll be going out to Columbus on Sat. and staying with my son & his family till Wed. morn. then heading to MAM on Wed.

Will be leaving Sunday and staying over in Columbus and going home on Monday.

I'm sure I can pick someone up along the way.

If anyone stays in Columbus Tuesday night, we can ride to MAM together on Wed.

We are planning to stop a few places in Pa. Would like to stop at dealer my car came from and see the factory/store at CORVETTE AMERICA. We could meet up with the group at a point west of Harrisburg, maybe with EBO near Ohio area. We are tentitively leaving tuesday, stop for the visits and then meet the group and travel. We will be leaving Sunday morning early, after food and good byes and drive through to home. We can be flexible if plans need to change. M-n-S

We're leaving Tuesday. Going up Interstate 70 and will go either across 68 back to 70 or could go up through Breezewood to turnpike (PA) to 70. Would like to spend the night somewhere in between ( Columbus? ). Would like to hook up with some of my buds. Its more fun to travel in a group!

Sounds like Columbus, Ohio, would be a good stop over on Tuesday night. I70 and I71 come together there, (tons of hotels at 70 & 71) and it's a straight run west on I70 to Effingham, about 320 miles, on Wed. morning.

We have plenty of time yet, and I'm sure a lot more people will join in.

Exit 91 on I70 has over 10 hotels right there. It's west of the city and west of where anyone coming down from the north would get on I70 west. Anyone coming down I71 from the north should take I270 west north of the city, that would take you around the city on the west side and it intersects I70, go west one exit and you're at exit 91. I will be at my son's house about 20 miles east of there, but I could meet everyone at exit 91 have breakfast and head west.

Paul, this exit would be a good place for you to hook up with people coming from the north later on Wed.

Hey, Paul....do everyone a favor...when the details are finalized, edit the top post on this thread to spec it out. That way we don't have to dig through to get what we need.

I'm gonna have to rent a Vette. Wonder how much that would cost. Of course, I can't rent a C3. Arg!

Dave, sometime in the near future can you get your son to scope out what would be a good hotel off exit 91 on 70 so we can see about maybe setting up a group rate!

I got back from Columbus, Ohio today and while out there I checked out the hotels at exit 91 on I70 west. I think the Super 8 is the best deal. It's $55 a nite and has parking right outside the room door if you get a ground floor room. I checked 4 others and the were all over $90 a nite. They are a lot nicer but do not have outside access to rooms. I will get you the address and phone later. You guys can decide for yourselves, I won't be staying there, I'll be at my son's place, but I will meet you guys on Wed. morning for the run to Effingham.

Later,

Dave

Here's the scoop:

The regular price for the rooms –for 2 double beds is $55 a night.

The hotel info is:

Super 8

1309 Saint James Lutheran Lane

Columbus, Oh 43228

614-870-2880

Fax: 614-870=2927

General manager’s name is Holly Eshelman e-mail: eshelmanh@gfhotels.com

If you call on Wed. morning and talk to Stephanie, she can give you group rate info. Regular rate is $55 a night for 2 queens.

Also there is another motel right next to the Super 8 , It's the America's Best Value Inn.

the regular rate is $70 , but they said they would go with $49 for a group of 10.

They have outside rooms with the same parking at the door.

I think the Super 8 looked a little better.

There are tons of places to eat at this exit also. And plenty of parking lots for a meeting spot for the guys coming later in the day.

My son says this is a safe area (he's with the Columbus P.D.), other areas closer to the city are not a good idea.

RICH, Does U-Haul have a truck to rent that the car will fit in? How bout the mobile home haulers?

They have a single axel truck they use, that they can piggy-back an escort car. Do you know anyone who has a Hot Shot truck and trailor? Maybe a bunch of you could go together and rent a Hot Shot, drive the truck and save miles and cash. Just thoughts.

Yes Mark Uhaul does but the cost is as much as getting it trucked out in an inclosed deal from work..so..Paul said he knew someone that would carry 4 cars inclosed for a set price of 350$ per car..that is actually a deal now that I search it out..

Hey Paul....I'm very likely going to trailer out too. Tho I'm not exactly sure what day we will leave. If I decide on going the 1 day route on Wednesday we could hook up and run out together. I'm minutes away from I 78 in Allentown which runs right into Harrisburg.

I'm trying to reach my buddy over the next day or so to see if we can coordinate this. If so, we can all jump in my Yukon XL (aka the rolling living room) and meet out cars there.

I can leave Tuesday, stay overnight west of Columbus and join the caravan from there on Wednesday.

Might even stop at the R&R Hall of Fame on Tuesday before heading down to Columbus.

Mark, Where is Corvette America?

I will be coming home Sunday after b'fast. Probably stop somewhere along the way and get home on Monday.

Dave, Are you going to Altoona and Horse shoe curve? CORVETTE AMERICA is south east of State College on rt. 322 between Milroy and Reedsville. Altoona is west of there, and close enough for a stop. As time closes in, get in tioch and we may be able to meet you there and go along together. M-n-S

Barry, If you come into Rt. 70 at the interchange at Rt. 76/70, and go west, we possibly could catch up with you at Rt. 99 interchange. Mark

That sounds like it is in the wrong direction from my place.

I will be heading to Erie, PA, Cleveland, OH and then Columbus.

Anyone else going that way on Tuesday?

OK, I made a reservation for the Super 8 on the westside of Columbus for Tuesday, May 17, 2011.

$55.00 for two double beds, non-smoking, ground floor.

Free continental breakfast.

If any singles want to split the cost, give me a shout.

Snorers need not apply. Dead

We made ours as well. Spoke to Stefanie, she said to tell the others to use the AAA discount. It will be $ 54.00 and change plus tax. Mark

It certainly doesn't bother me, don't really see why it would bother anyone. Your Vette would just ride higher than ours!
