NASTE Nats Attendees, when are you leaving?

[Captain Morgan]

I know there are a handful of us who are heading down to BG next month. When do you plan on leaving and/or when do you plan on arriving in BG?

Even if we don't all roll down as a caravan, its good to know who is going, what routes everyone is travelling, etc. etc.

I still need to book my room and figure out if I'm going to be there for Thursday night or show up Friday morning....

Shit, I almost forgot about the hotel thanks for reminding me.

I haven't decided if I am leaving Wednesday night or Thursday morning yet...

Re: NASTE Nats Attendees, when are you leaving?

I would like to get there Friday before noon. Don't want to spend the whole day Friday driving if I don't have to. Haven't decided if I should leave Thursday night late and drive through, or make one stop and finish trip in the morning. Would like to meet up with other members if possible.

Re: NASTE Nats Attendees, when are you leaving?

I am looking to share the ride/gas with someone if anyone can put up with me. I was hoping to have my suby put back together (going to be close but no cigar). I am open to most options

someone else rides with me in my car and splits gas
I ride with someone and split gas
and if all else fails, I might just fly out.

I am hoping to arrive Thursday at some point

Re: NASTE Nats Attendees, when are you leaving?

well this is all good to know. I need to contact Big Smoosh and see what his plans are. I didnt get to meet up with his dad last weekend and see what was up with his Ty. I'm not sure if he wants me to ride out with him or what. I was planning on rolling my TDI out, estimated total trip fuel cost is $123.70 , but we'll see what happens.

We are rolling out on Thursday. Plan to be in BG Thursday night. We have large vehicles (read, duallies, trailers, and maybe a semi) leaving from our shop together Thursday morning.

My plan is to leave Thursday afternoon. Will probably drive 8ish hours, sleep somewhere and drive the other 6 Friday arriving before noon.

Re: NASTE Nats Attendees, when are you leaving?

I was thinking of leaving Thursday morning too originally but had considered early Friday morning. If most people from up here are going Thursday morning and we can all get together i am game for that.

Re: NASTE Nats Attendees, when are you leaving?

I'm planning on leaving around 7 or 8pm on Thursday night. So i'd get there early Friday.

My shortest route according to Google Maps takes me past:

State College, PA
Pittsburgh, PA
Columbus, OH
Cincinnati, OH
Louisville, KY
Bowling Green, KY

via I-70, 470, 71, 65

I am leaving thrusday after work (7-8pm). I plan on driving right through to kentucky. Depending on where you guys are, I may meet up with you guys half way down since I will be coming down i75-to i71S.... which I guess join together near cincinatti.

Us ohio guys can meet around Columbus (off 270/ 71), I think that would be fun. I just don't think I want to drive all night.

Re: NASTE Nats Attendees, when are you leaving?

I was planning on leaving sometime on Thursday, I get to NJ on Wednesday, will drive down to the Ty and Morgan's area, fix whatever I need to on the Ty along with any prep and then planned on heading out Thursday night and driving during the night.

The AC in my Ty doesn't work, the CD Player doesn't work, and my dad is my co-driver.. which basically means, I drive all night, he sleeps and he drives during the day. So if we could meet up with anyone or drive down with anyone, it would be great.

We have a hotel room from Friday night so I would assume we arrive sometime on Friday. I figured I'd just use google maps on a cell phone to get directions =)

Re: NASTE Nats Attendees, when are you leaving?

oh yeah, my truck hasn't been driven for more than a couple of hours in more than a year.. should be an interesting trip.. I sure hope Sport Machines has room in their trailer just in case =P

dad sent you an email, he might be down the shore between now and then.. worse case is I fly in wednesday and we head straight to lbi, work on the ty all night, if need be and then leave thursday.

I might order a new AC compressor/lines and try to replace them and the stereo to make the ride a bit more comfortable. Along with keeping lots of extra parts just in case.
