caravans
Hey everyone!

If your planning on gathering up with everyone as you drive towards the convention post it here. That way you can all know who's who and have a fun drive up!

Whats better than being in traffic by yourself??? Being in traffic with your friends!! lol

Dunno if that coincides with anyone else's plans?

Major routes being I-20 East (423 miles), and then I-81 North (526 miles).

I could easily alter that route to meet folks somewhere along the way. Get ourselves a convoy and go all Smokey And The Bandit on this bitch. Maybe paint a screaming gold chicken on the hood of my Classic. Or maybe not.

When you get passed the Tappan Zee bridge in NY (crossing the Hudson River) you may want to consider the Merrit Parkway (Rt. 15) instead of I95. Less traffic, more scenic and it's got some cool turns in it....just a suggestion.

Anyone towing can not take the parkways in ny or ct.. I95-i91 or go up 684 to i84 onto i691 into Meriden which will bring you to east main St and the hotel is 1 mileoff the exit.
