Arriving Thursday and leaving Sunday. Staying at Fontana.

If I can convince my wife, highly doubtful, I'll head up there this weekend with my brother and his club.

You will LOVE Snowbird! My husband and I have stayed there 5 times while attending the Miatas at the Gap event in the summer. It's well worth the money, I think and the food is HEAVENLY!

I ordered my MINI as a sort of "spur of the moment" thing (even though I have been test driving and scoping them for 2 years) so we didn't have many choices. We found a cancelation at a little place in Robbinsville.

Enjoy yourselves!

We are coming up from Mobile Wednesday evening and heading on from Highland Ave area Thursday morning. Maybe we can hook up with some of you. Any departure time set yet? We do not want to cut into Teresa'a beauty rest.

I plan on leaving around 8AM, I might be convinced to go leave my house as early as 7 but if I try to leave any earlier than that I will fall asleep while driving I will need to make 2 stops so Petey the puppy can stretch his legs & poddy. I plan to stop in Trenton, GA & again when exiting I-75 in Sweetwater, TN. Also, in spite of the fact that I have to delay with the extra stops, I tend to wanna truck on down the highway at a healthy speed . I am game to ride up with anyone but as I said I understand if people don't wanna make the extra stops

Thanks zambardo. Here's another version:












Bamatt, I don't mind stopping to rest either. The paws will be welcome.

Then why don't we make it around 8:45 am at the 1st exit off I-59 past I-459 interchange? There is a Pizza Hut right off on the right. That way the ones of us who get there on time can go next door to the BP station and get a snack while we wait on bamatt.

That is SOOO cool! So, did you illustrate it or did someone do it for you? I'd have one printed and hanging in my office or something.

Oh, sorry. Yes, I whipped it up the other night trying to come up with a new signature. But they can't be animated anymore so I'm glad the moving gif file got to show its face (thanks for askin').

I wouldn't consider it print quality, but I'd be happy to print you a copy.

Sounds like a plan. I think I can even make it there by 8:30. I am not going to oversleep this year I'm like 90% sure of that
