you could meet us at the first ohio stop (I-75 and Rt #30) or KY Rest stop on south bound I-75 @ mile 176, Between Exit 178 and 175 (just south of cincinnati) might be more on the way for you. take a look at a map and see where you would like to meet up!

i added more to the list! will move it up a page in a few more post...:smile:

Umm, you are an adult, do what you want. At 18 I was driving between ky and fl routinely. If you got the car and the money, who's to stop you?

OK so i just took my exam and talked with the Professor about the final exam date and how it conflicts with the Dragon!

Actually, I didnt mention this to the prof, but i was able to convince her to let me take the exam early so that I could spen the time with my family (this is true) before I go off to work in the real world... or something like that

So I will be in Cleveland, visiting with my brother for a week or so, then joining up wtih the NE Ohio group on thursday early morning at the rest stop on I-71... OMG this is gonna be AMAZING!

Patrick

Indeed! I'm compiling a bunch of CDs for playing at the dragon now. A CD with obnoxious, loud songs for when I pull into places (Yay A-Team theme!), one for the midnight run, two for the daytime runs and two for the highway. Woo! May make even more.

One of my favorite songs for blasting while pulling in somewhere is the song from the movie Super Troopers that the German fella was blasting from his brown porsche while flying down the highway. You'll hear it when we meet up in ohio

Here I am! I JUST NOW found this thread. How far behind am I? .

With that many MINI's, should I lead or follow? Suppose as long as we have our talkabouts to let everyone know of (shhhh) stops or traps.

Greg
