Let us know when you plan on arriving and who will be in your party. Also a place to schedule car pooling.

I plan to be on the road at about 10 AM, and there by 10:20. I may have to stop for gas.

Depends when we leave... Lately, we've left after 8:00 PM Central time. We had to come home from work,pack, meet up, repack, and hit the road. This year, I'll already be home so I should be able to pack and be on the road whenever TT is ready to go. If that is early enough, we'll shoot straight through.

Okay, well, I was thinking that I would take Thursday off work, and get a proctor to cover my classes, so that I could actually be there for the whole event, but I just realized that the 19th is final exams for that term, which I sort-of need to be around for. That means that Sharky and I will likely be leaving Cincy early in Friday morning, arriving in Warren in time for lunch. If the extra day had been added to the end of the event instead of the beginning, I could have done it, as that will be the beginning of summer break for me. :/

I will be driving from Tallahassee, so anybody in the North Florida area need a lift?

I will be leaving on the 18th to drive up and someone to split the cost of gas with (won't be bad, I have a Civic) would be much appreciated.

Just a heads up, I smoke cigs, so yeah, you gotta be cool with that.

If I was driving up there I wouldn't mind carpooling, but alas, I was lucky enough to get airfare from Orlando to Detroit for just over $100 RT... Maybe next year!! There are enough IC guys in Florida that we could possibly organize something...

Yeah, I wish I could fly from Tallahassee, but the cost of Tally -> Atlanta is ~ $300 (cheapest flight is to Panama City, FL, @ ~$150) then you add on Atlanta to Detroit into the cost which = piggeh doesn't fly out of Tallahassee.

Since I am in Tallahassee, other people in Florida can drive here to meet up (or meet in Lake City) and leave their car at my parents house if needed.

Pigflipper,

I just looked at Travelocity - Tallahassee to Detroit is only $287 and that goes through Atlanta. The $287 is the total price, not just to Atlanta

I hope to arrive there on the 19th, probably around late afternoon-ish. I'll be carpooling with Kingpin and Weezer since they're both in my area, as well as anyone else from UPS who decides to come. Perhaps Hitman, depends on that baby thing.

Yes, it'll be a car full of UPS. We'll have a short drive North-East. Can't wait.

Edit: Just saw Kingpin's post for massive lulz. Well done.

I'll be driving from Madison-ish... I saw shwaip was coming through there from Seattle, maybe we can meet up and pool the last fifth of your trip?

Don't know more yet, we'll see what happens.

Ok, here is the path I am going to be taking: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...8,5.119629&z=8

Its mostly on I-75 (like a good 90%) so if you live somewhere near this path, can drive a stick shift and want to split the cost of the trip, please let me know.

yup, maybe 12.5 from kansas city. remember chicago has tolls. going to indianapolis on i-70 then up i-69 to i-94 only adds about 15 minutes, but it is free

JUST WATCH YOUR SPEED IN INDIANA! cops use laser guns(no radar warning) and they seem to be at every exit ramp or bridge.

if you want me to post the route I usually take lemme know

If you would fatcat that would be helpful. We are coming from Scout Camp in Osceola Missouri, which turns out to be closer than from my house.

Osceola to Warren

ignore the getting off I-69 in Fishers, IN. Just stay on I-69. I use Fishers as a reference point since mapquest always has you go up near Chicago. This route takes 13 minutes longer than going up by Chicago, but is free.

edit> haha too early in the day. Brian's house is 24940 Beierman, NOT 24920. But you'll see all our cars and the girls on trampolines as soon as you turn on Beierman ave anyways so

Looks like I will be leaving late on the 17th or very early on the 18th now. Just checked my class schedule and my exam is @ 6pm on 6/17. So anybody from Florida or South Georgia that needs a ride, thats the new plan. I am basically setting it so that I arrive in the early evening of the 18th so that on the 19th I can drive some more, but this time to pay my last respects to Keith. I don't care how far the drive is, I've got a bottle of Admiral Nelson I need to share with him.
