Cowboy,

Well ... I know that not everyone will be able to meet up there. So, let's wait and see. If I get in early enough Saturday, maybe I could come up Saturday night ... we'll see. NO promises, though ... sorry.


And, Cory ... no worries ... I understand. Sorry to you, as well.

Anyone else want to meet up along the way?

LOL!

Well, luckily, cowboy, I'll be in a rental ... so I won't care TOO much about other horrible drivers . he he. But, I'll keep my eye out just the same!


Anyone else thinking of meeting up? scc, you joining us in Charlotte?

Kinda need to know ... soon. I'd hate to miss people....

"It's a freedom that we all want to know" ... Restless Heart ... 'Wheels'

 

A Platinum Metallic (silver) 2008 Buick LaCrosse (rental) will be my ride for the road trip. It has just over 5,910 miles and still has the temporary IL tag....

Since Enterprise didn't have a Dodge Charger for me, they let me have the LaCrosse at the same price....


A few people have asked why I "road trip" and meet people along the way. Maybe these 3 pictures will illustrate why....

From my October 2004 road trip west:

From my August 2005 road trip east:
http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/0508...gdtmn_jpg.html

And, perhaps, my favorite ... because of what ChevyTalk's Dennis (DeeGee) and I discovered over an interesting dinner conversation during my October 2006 road trip west:
http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/1106...591r8_jpg.html


Packing is almost done ... and I'm just about ready to go. I'll relax through Thanksgiving Day ... and then hit the road bright'n'early Friday morning.


BTW ... Lunch in Knoxville TN will be at the BridgeView Grill, 900 Neyland Dr


It's not too late to plan to meet up, but since I will have limited access (if any?) online while I'm away, the best way to reach me is my cell phone:
847 - 337 - 9897


I look forward to seeing some of you along my travels! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
