Decided to start up this thread so we'd have a place for some Iowa group interactive planning for the High Plains Motoring event, rather than burdening the MINI5280 thread with EIM-specific banter.
It's still a ways out, but once you refine the details of your travel and lodging plans it would help if you posted the information here. That way we will be able to cross-coordinate among ourselves on rendezvous points, convoys headed west, etc.
