Ah thanks for the help there school boy!!! Maybe you could sneak down for a burger . Whew....the Mexican place would be great if we wouldn't be couped up in the vehicles for another 6 hours but that might cause some casualities....
At least you can make it to BG, that's what's important!!

I think mine is locked on Channel 6, sub 0. From all the years past caravans, it's just frozen in place and can't change

Now I just have to find them

i ran one of my radios thru the washer after last years fest..LOL

nope.. it does NOT WORK

[FiveOJoe]

If anyone is looking for a co-driver, I'll be happy to put some gas in the car, I'm trying to make my way there. I drive slow though

Is it too late to get rooms??? Are we staying at the motel with the canopy still ???? We stoppin at Hurrakin, WV again??

I'm outta the loop

[DennyM]

Joe! ... that's great news! ... will be great to meet you ... and get the down and dirty on NJMP ...
I've been out of the loop since Friday (was up at WGI Sun-Tues)... can you make it for the Tues caravan?
Mikey is going to ID the rendezvous point in Charleston to meet with the DC and south intrepid road warriers ... right, Mike? ...

OK, Mike ... Harley Shop it is ... NE Caravan will try to arrive ~ 11:45 and leave at 12:45 ...
Is there a convenient gas stop nearby to catch on the way in?
Now ... is food available within a walk of the lot or does one have to drive a block or two? If the latter, can you arrange a visible rendezvous point or person at the staging lot so those doing lunch can report for staging?

LESS THAN THREE WEEKS TO TUES - SEP 9 ...
So ... who do we have other than Mike and I in the truck and Steve in the MS '04? (I gotta check again with Darnell and her BF)
Waitin' to hear from Joe ...
