It looks like I can make the trip in 3 days.

sweet road trip !

We may be able to hook up with you somewhere. Will be at my son's place Sat. not sure when we will leave there but we most likely will come together at some point since we too will be going out 70. I may need to shorten the daily drive time because of my legs, so we may be ahead of you at the start. We can work it out later.

Margie and I will hook up with you all in Salina on Wednesday morning by 8:00 or so.  Just let me know where you are staying and where to meet at.  ARE WE THERE YET???  

______________

Wally and I are tentatively planning on leaving Minne-snow-ta on Tuesday afternoon and overnighting near Lincoln, NE.  We were thinking of jumping off I-80 near Lexington, N and zigzaging down to Colby, KS.  We would have to get an early start on Wednesday though in order to make the Colorado state line by noon.  Will there be a Colorado State Trooper to greet us and give us an escort to Colorado Springs...?!?

Hey Dave, that is a pretty strict schedule, but I wouldn't expect anything less from an ex-drill sarge.

I only did that to give people an idea when we will be at certain areas so they can join us. We can modify it as needed.

If Clint was leading us we would meet a trooper, but not to greet us.

It's not too bad here in Kansas, Clint, the limit on most Interstates is 75mph, so you would only be going 15 or 20 above the limit.    

______________

Ditto, here in Colo -- Interstates are 75 

______________

finally arrived and rarin' to ride 
- SAVE THE WAVE -

   

I do wish I could attend. Other conflicts and commitments prevent me from practicing western speed limits. I know everyone will have a great time.

75 is an interesting starting point ! We got an Interstate named that over here.  

Oh yes, I remember trying to catch Clint's train going into Charleston and Savannah - great trip! I can only imagine trying to catch that train out west. Wish we could make it this year.

I see there are a couple of IN Vettes signed up for this Gathering.

Jan and I will be leaving Cincinnati about noon on Monday. We are planning to pick up I-70 in Indianapolis. What is the best way to contact the Northeast Caravan along the way?

Leaving Hot Springs AR on Tuesday morning.  Staying in Wichita KS on Tuesday night. Can meet up with the caravan at Salina KS on Wednesday morning. What time are you leaving Salina and where are you staying. 

______________

 States I visited

I did some research and found what I believe is the best deal for a motel in Salina. I booked the Days Inn Salina I-70 for Tuesday nite June 25. I haven't been to Salina in years, but the reviews I saw of all the motels there on I-70 that one was the best at the best price. There's also an IHOP close by if you don't want their continental breakfast. It is at:

Thanks Larry.

Will meet the caravan at the Days Inn Salina KS around 8:45 am on Wednesday . Phone number is 832-452=7020.

Sounds great to me, Dave.  How many do you think will be in Salina??

______________

Roger on that Mike.

Well, it looks like you and Margie, me, maybe Dick and Jill, and then Mike will meet us in the morning. Maybe Mark and Jan (69BBConv) too.

Sounds like there could be quite a "Train" coming from the east if the NY, OH, IN and IL folks all connect.  Anyone heard from Marion on his plans?

 

Rolling out of York, NE Wednesday morning about an hour before you roll out of Salina should have us all near Colby about the same time - that is provided everyone obeys the speed laws...!!!
