Hey fellow motorers from the south!

Since I couldn't get Wednesday off of work, my SO and I will be leaving Wednesday night late (11pm-ish) and driving through the night (I LOVE night driving). Anyone else planning to pull an all-night drive-a-thon? It'd be fun to hook up and do a "Midnight to the Dragon"!

Hey Rabbit... there'll be 6 MINI's stopped overnight in Cincy area (about the time you start rolling). We should be rolling again early THUR to get to the Dragon by mid afternoon.

Just picking a spot at random, or do you have reservations somewhere?

What time do you think you will be hitting Indy?

Thanks.

Three of us will be crashing at the Travelodge in Florence. Rooms were cheap when we made the reservations. About $45. Just so you know, (afaik) we were not going to be joining the larger group meeting at the rest stop on Thursday morning. We're leaving earlier than they are.

If we leave Chicago at 5:30, pending traffic and how fast we're motoring, we should roll past Indy between 9 - 9:30.

Hope you can make it!

Since you guys are spending the night in Cinci, if you want to meet up with the Michigan caravan on Thursday morning, or for lunch in Lexington, KY, that would be cool! Here's the schedule we'll be doing on Thursday (on page 5): http://www.michiganmini.org/forum/index.php?topic=19.0

Cheers,
Ryan

Ryan - we'll probably be leaving around 8am Thursday morning from the Travel Lodge in Florence KT and heading over to the local Panera on the way out of town: http://tinyurl.com/rt873

How about you guys?

I will be behind the Chicago crew by a couple of hours, but I will be able to catch you at the Travel Lodge. From there I will travel south on Thursday morning with you guys. paulr gave me the low down, so I think I have everything I need.

Thanks a lot!
