This thread is for the various groups to begin posting where, who, and when everybody plans to start making their way across the country. Why so early? Because many people are waiting on others to decide when they are arriving and what they are going to be doing. Eventually I will create a thread showing who is doing what.

DIRECTIONS: Post a reply (not a quote) stating the region and location where you are departing and the date of departure and primary route.

Someone from the moderators group will move your information under the region below you indicate.
Your post will then be hidden/deleted so this won't become a multi-page thread.

UPDATED

Newest plan for travel to CAA (Midwest)

I'm leaving at 9:00am and I'm meeting Stlas69 at 10:00am at Ill rte 47 and I-55 (Arbys) continuing on I-55 south to meet IBLUBYU and Balst Chamber in Bloomington,Ill around 11am and then on to meeting oledoc2u in Springfield, Ill around 12 - 12:30pm.

We will be using channel 4 on our two way radios.

 

Just a heads up be careful on the final stretch to the hotel (Earth City Expressway), the cops like to target that area with the concerts next door and or drunks...so those who like to drive a little aggressively get picked on equally.

 

CAA is underway - Convoys are in route !!!

Western Canada is on the road

We're on our way to CAA

Southeast CAA Convoy

 

Thanks for the links, Gary. Making for some fun reading while waiting for our turn to start on the Great CAA Convoys.
