I believe they drive up on Friday. Rick, correct me if I'm wrong.

 

I'm contemplating taking that Friday off of work....thinking about maybe hitting the Chrysler Museum at the headquarters. I know a few people wanted to do this last year, I don't know if they did though?

 

I came up on Thursday a last year.

 

We left Friday morning and got up there for lunch Friday, we were going to go to the museum, but never made it.

 

My Wife (Sterling) and I are considering the drive, but it will take us two days to get there and then back again. If we come we'll bring both cars.

Put us both on the maybe list for now.

Is there anyone else traveling from the north Jersey area????

 

Unfortunately.......so was a truck!

 

Count me in on Friday if you plan to go to the Museum

 

I plan on taking that Friday off too.

 

I have added you to the "Maybe attending" list.
I hope you will make it. Gary

 

May I suggest staying both nights.
We can all hang out by the cars at the hotel and enjoy some beverages of choice in the evenings and if it rains (better not) we move the party into the hotel lobby. They were very accommodating last year and we were respectful of them as well.

 

We're good for the museum too if we can get across the border early enough on the Friday. Hope it is not like last year (border delay).

 

hell count me in. im prolly the youngest out of the group but count me in for sure. how do i sign up???

You are already on the list to attend. No need to sign up. It's awhile away from now but just keep an eye on the thread for hotel info and other updates as they become available. Later this summer we will probably book rooms and get parking payment info as things get closer.

On the Friday, possibly we could have a time and meeting place for those who want to go to the museum. Keep this in mind, when the final plans are firmed up later.

Thanks, Roy

The Chrysler museum is right around the corner from the hotel. Probably a good time to get there would be around noon. (they are open from 10AM till 6PM) It will probably take a couple of hours at most. (MI1XFIRE.....you just want to go so you can look at that turbine..... You're not fooling me! )


This should leave plenty of time for a little Pre-Cruise down woodward.....I'm sure it'll be a parking lot already. Those that remember last year on friday night where Crossfires and Prowlers OWNED at least a mile of Woodward.

Another option could be seeing a few scenic back roads around the area? I'll leave it up to the Visitors to the area to decide what you all want to do!

 

You and your wife are welcome to stay in Sharon, PA on Thursday night. It's about 1/2 way for you, and is right off I-80. I'll even show you the sights. (It won't take too long!) There's three things that Sharon has going for it: largest shoe store in the world (Reyer's), best wings in the USA (the original Quaker Steak & Lube), and the best Italian food in the US (tons of places) - OK, you're from Jersey, so you probably have good Italian food there too.

 

The Chrysler Museum (like Apkano said) is only 2 miles form the Courtyard Marriott where we will be staying again this year.
I would imagine that a meet at the hotel would be the easiest way.
