East going West in Kansas

I live in Plainville which is 23 miles north of Hays/I-70 so I am curious as to who from the east are going west via I-70 because I really would like to jump into a convoy going out to MitM2 so the drive is even more enjoyable.

Alex,
I will talk to the CORN group to see if they want to take the South route. We will be meeting up in Minden, NE area but could possibly take the South route from Holdrege, NE to Norton and meet up with you in Colby, KS.
There will also be several from STL, MO and KC going so look for them to respond as well.
Jim

Alex,
The Nebraska group will be leaving on the 9th early as well. Are you going early for a reason? Maybe you just want to be there a day early to see everyone rolling in?

Yeah, we should find a spot, some place in KC I would guess, that we all could meet at, and roll along. Or something. I know we are all coming from all over along that road. WOW. I so can't think right now. hehe.

Colby for us Nebraska folks would be best. The only highway that runs diagonal to the southwest runs to Colby so we would meet there.

How many People and Minis would be coming from C.O.R.N. also I am getting really anxious for it. So far i got my parts that i am going to have installed ( M7 Pulley and Crank Pulley) and I might have enough money to get a custom catback exhaust fabed up before MiTM2

Right now the count I have is 6. But that could go as high as 10 or more. Just have to do some more arm twisting. See you in Colby around maybe noon or 1pm at this point.

I'll be coming from MN, though I'm still trying to determine how I'm gonna be getting to MITM. I might be taking a different scenic route there, and I might be able to do this instead i guess.

I almost completely forgot about a 2 way radio. I will need to go and check them out. Oh and to C.O.R.N. one of the following weekends after MitM2 I am coming out to check out the car scene in Omaha because from what i see on 1320video.com the Sonic on 90th street has one hot car scene
