Guys,

 I'd like to hook up with ya'll in Staunton on the 22nd. It's only a little over 150 miles to there from my place.  How can we meet up?

 Jim

Jim, we will be leaving Staunton around 9 or 9:30. Jeremy (Movie Collector) and i will be spending Wed. night there and Rich (L82vette77) is meeting us there for breakfast around 8am. He's coming from Rhode Island driving thru the night so his arrival time may vary a bit. What time do you think you can be there?

We are meeting another group at I77 & I81 at about 12 or 12:30. That is about 2.5-3 hours south of Staunton.

I can be there around 8-ish... I figure if I blast outta here at 5 or 6 I should be golden.

 

Sounds great Jim, looking forward to seeing you then. If you check out this forum http://www.c3vr.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64357&PN=1 under the Northease caravan you will see my cell # and our schedule info. Any questions you can always PM me. Maybe you should PM me with your cell #.
