Just an FYI....Harper curves...and you'll go underneath Harper once whilst on i-94....don't worry...don't exit until you see the harper exit signs. Not the road signs.....I made that mistake once and had to drive through the ghettoooooo.

Hmmm.... This could be fun-- is the uber-limo (aka VAN) from airport full yet??? Probably get in the 8th, maybe the 7th and see my brother(s) about computer(s) problems. Yes, this is s triple or double (depending on availability of Traverse City brother meeting me) purpose trip.
I'm so lost... I'm thinking that you're coming from dearborn... Coming from the west, you exit on harper right before the overpass. I mean, RIGHT before it.... I could be wrong though.
Trust me on this one...the only time I drove to your place....I was driving and all of a sudden I see the little green sign that said Harper Rd. on a the overpass....and I go....awww crap....got off at next exit and doubled back...check the addys and I realize I still have a while to go....so I turned around and just took harper to your door.
yeah, I are also going to, I'm kinda worried, I've never driven on a trip like this before, when I do mapquest, things like this scare me:
11: Merge onto NEW YORK STATE TRWY N (Portions toll). 285.75 miles
The estimate on mapquest (I figure this is probably the best map source, lemme know if theres a better one) is about 12hrs (764miles) so I figure if I leave here at like 7 or 8am I can be at teh Sarc by like 10pm-12am (including breaks for lunch, etc) on January 8th, hopefully I wont get lost...still a little scared about the whole driving 750 miles thing, but, I'm sure it'll be okay!
Prime, are the closest cross-roads to your actual office location Harper & Devonshire?
And I'm guessing it's the north-east corner of that junction (or close to it?)
Just trying to get my bearings, as I'll be coming west on I-94 and thing's aren't exactly clear as to where exactly the office is located when coming in this way.
MapPoint has me riding the 401 -to- 402 -to- US Border -to- I-69 -to- I-94 -to Cadieux Road south to Harper West and 11 streets west of the junction of Cadieux and Harper is where I'm supposed to be (Harper & Devonshire).
Is that little alley-way that you speak of Linville Street by chance?
//Edit: BTW, what exactly is "portions toll?" You don't have toll freeways in MI do you?
Camman, I also looked on Mapquest, 14 hours of straight driving, that should be interesting needless to say. But I plan on spliting the driving up with my best friend who is coming with me, so that should be a little better.
Anyone want to meet somewhere near like Ohio or something? and follow each other? maybe we want get too lost, haha
Speaking of meeting up...is anyone meeting up anywhere in my route of travel? I'm traveling From Southern NH to the LAN, I heard some people might be meeting up in NYC???
Clutch Norge, Aranyic, Sicarius, and myself are coming from Columbus. Not sure when we are all leaving but I a guessing roughly 2 or so. Afters school sometime.
Cammon: Take 80/90 and stay in ohio. That way you dont have to pass thru customs twice and you can take the toleway. Then you dont have to worry about getting in the wrong lane someplace and go the wrong direction. I know its a bitch in Columbus the first time you drive on a certain part of interstate.
Holy sh!t bojingles....I vacation practically balls on where you live like twice a year since I was born.....I'm 21. Where do you live up there? BTW we stay at Upper Herring Lake...and hang out in Frankfort and the surrounding areas.

Alright... so when is a good time to get there? Seems like a lot of peeps are going on the 8th, but I can't leave on the 8th - not only do I have to work, but it's my birthday, so I have to spend my free time that day with my girlfriend... so I was planning on driving up on the 9th, as early as we can leave. It's a 5 hour drive from Cincinnati. Straight up 75, yo.

Sweet! I live next to Onekama (between manistee and frankfort)
Yea, I rode my dirtbike around herring lake this summer on one of my two tracking/seasonal road rides. I started at my house and then rode along lake michigan, then once I hit arcadia, I swung out to the east into the hills, and then down to the lake.
I put onekama in the map thing but it mapped me going through ludington and onto 31, so i punched in kaleva to show the way I actually go(starting on 10).

I am probably coming that thursday(the 8th), so if anyone wants to meet up on the trip, let me know. I should be able to find it without a problem.
...lol, in case i get lost for some reason on street level, my cousin only lives about 3 blocks away, but I should be good to go.
