When are people coming through, or hooking up? Can we meet someplace, or is there already something set up to go.. Can we exchange cell phone numbers or something? That way we can intercept each other at rest stops and stuff like that. I'd like to have a buddy system on the way in case something unexpectedly breaks down. I'm driving down by myself otherwise, and could use some company along the way. Right now it looks like I'll bring the 68GS, so any speed is okay with me. Thanks!:beer
"SURE MIKE....We'll swing by Beijing to pick you up....WAIT BY THE WALL !!!!!! :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
LOL. You wouldn't want to be me going back. Have to leave Salem Sunday morning to drive to Chicago. Then fly out of Chicago Monday morning. Arrive back 'home' in Beijing on Tuesday afternoon. Then again, Marco Polo would be very envious.
Excellent Mike, glad to see that you are bringing the 68! I am looking forward to finally meeting you.:beer
Convoy ... Mike , A bunch of us will be with the Chicagoland chapter Thursday am . Shari and Loyd will be the leaders of the pack .. :bglasses: :bglasses: :3gears: :TU:
Bruce/Shirl, I should wait until Thurs then. Weird thing about this home trip is that I lent my condo to a friend who's having their house remodeled. I have to stay at a hotel. So more time at the drags is better than sitting around in a hotel room in nw burbs. I'll be crashing my own place during the day while they're at work to pack out, work on cars, etc.
I really wish we could caravan with the Chicago gang. :ball: We have a graduation ceremony to attend on thursday night for our boy Liam's preschool classuzzled: Is anyone coming back on monday? At least we'll have a Buick to drive back home with:3gears: see ya'll soon:beer :bglasses: :Brow: :moonu: :beer :TU: D.
We need Loyd & Shari Bonecutter to chime in here for more info. From what I've been told it's a GSCA Chicago Chapter run. With others welcome of course.
Nah, it's just Buick people headed for Salem - not a BPG or GSCA thing. Anyone is welcome, as long as they're headed out Thursday morning. Loyd and you guys will have to discuss routes and times and such. I'm sure something could be arranged to meet with you, Bill. We seem to be having a combination of driven cars and cars trailered. Mike, some of us will be coming back on Sunday as well. Our email address is loydb@chicagolandbuick.org We can privately email cell phone numbers, plus Loyd and I are great believers in those Motorola radios for caravans. It's really easy to shout "Mayday" in one of those, in case something happens. (not that anything will, mind you!) p How does this sound with everyone - we'll start conversing the first week of August, to start setting things in concrete, o.k.? Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. Let us know! Looking forward to it.... ShariB
China Mike, Wild Bill, Bruce, Mike P. - I sent you all an email last night about the caravan. Did you guys get it? I understand that ChinaMike is in transit, so I'm sure he'll respond when he arrives and has time. Let me know if you didn't receive a message. :TU: ShariB
Hi Shari Yep we got it ! :laugh: Hey where is that Oasis at ? milemarker # ? Probally best to leave Early to beat all the traffic ... Let us know please . :beer :bglasses: :bglasses: :TU:
My daughters and I are leaving on Tuesday evening, laying over in South Bend and rolling in on Wednesday. I will miss the caravan to Salem, but would be interested in when everyone is leaving on Sunday. Any chance of a caravan back to Chicago as well as one to Salem?
Shari; My wife(Dawn) and I will be leaving Duluth MN Wednesday morning. Staying someone around Chicago Wednesday night. Leaving for Salem thursday morning. Could I Please get your travel plans to join in on the trek? Maybe you could help out and tell us where we could stay somewhere close by. Thank you in advance
