WOW!

Safe driving and you should make a picture log of your trip to share!

Will do the photo log! Did it on a Route 66 trip and ended up getting two photos in the 2003 NAM Calender!

BTW nice color choices on your MINI! :smile:

We will be leaving Michigan on Wednesday, 4/27. Will be staying the weekend in Oak Ridge TN. for a national ASA archery shoot. We will be leaving there on Monday and headed to the dragon. Hope to have some time to kick back before the crowd arrived on Thursday. We will be leaving Fontana on Thursday 5/5 and heading north to meet the great detroit caravan somewhere around the KY/TN boarder.

Safe motoring to all

Leaving from central east coast of Florida on Wednesday the 4th. It's an 8-9 hour drive by Interstate, but leaving a day early we can avoid the Interstates altogether, and drive two six-hour days on the back roads.

There is going to be a group caravaning from NC and SC meeting at different places along I-40. I think someone needs to plug in an 8 track and play "CONVOY"!
