I was going to the dragon, but i think i am just going to hold out.

Going to ( cinncy) PKI for IJob ride which i called their office and they said end of MAY or the first of JUNE??? They have to call me back , but if it is the 21 of MAY it will conflict with MOP Meet downtown, and alos the East VS West At Beaverun. Check out the thread on Here for Dragon and PKI, if you are going to PKI, then we can meet.

If I could do it, I'd join the caravan. Unfortunately, I will be heading north, not south, on I-79 on Dragon weekend. I have to go to a wedding in Erie. I tried to get the happy couple to reschedule, but no dice. :smile:

Well so far the caravan will be Me and only Me.

Not much of a caravan.

North East Ohis is Cleveland, Youngstown, Warren. Those guys are coming from NW Ohio, Detroit, then SW Ohio Cinci, into Kentuky.

Really out of my way.

Steve

p.s. I will take lots of pictures.

Well thank you, we'll see, as it is now it's about 10 hours, 3-4 hours to hookup will make for a very long day. Maybe we can hookup with you guys around Knoxville (I-40) for the last 100 miles or so.

I wish I could respond and say that I'd be happy to meet up with you. Unless a last-minute miracle comes my way - this will be the 3rd year in a row that I don't get to make it down to the Dragon. Since I'm selling Molly, she and I will never have that experience together. Here's hoping that the next MINI has better luck than the first and gets a chance to run the Dragon!

I am in the eastern suburbs, closer to Greensburg, PA. 2.5-3 hours to Cleavland, 3.5 to Mansfield and I-71.

I will be hitting I-77 in Charleston WV from I-79.

I could drive to I-71, but even I-71 to I-75 is way out of the way even for NE Ohio people, let alone SW PA people. I-77 is a much shorter straighter shot.
