I think Ms. Pabby would prefer to drive the Clubby. However, her clutch leg/foot won't be ready for that long of a drive for a while yet!

and BTW I didn't break her leg ...she can tell the story herself in Vegas about how it happened.

As this is off topic, I this will be the last I will say about joining up a caravan with SCMM.

I would check the attendee list on the AMVIV home page, and contact people on there about hooking up for the drive down.

I've been going over my route from DC to Vegas, and there's no two ways about it - this is going to be one brutal ride. Here's the itin:

3/20 - DC to St. Louis (13 hours)
3/21 - St. Louis to Denver (13 hours)
3/22 - hang out in Denver
3/23 - Denver to Iona, ID (don't ask - 10 hours)
3/24 - haven't worked this out yet; free day
3/25 - arrive LV
3/26 - FUN FUN FUN
3/27 - leave Vegas for home, try and make it back to DC by the night of 3/29

Yup, brutal. But FUN!

I assume you'll be overnighting in Jackpot on Tuesday - where are you staying? Route 93 looks fun, and I'd love to join you for the final leg.

That is a pretty crazy schedule; are you travelling alone? The Calgary contingent is overnighting in Pocotello, ID on the 24th before heading south to LV on the 25th, you're welcome to join us also.

Correct, Jackpot at Barton 93 club. If you reserve a room, tell them you are with PSMINI and they will knock a few bucks off the already cheap rate.

Euseys here, R56 originally bought in Naples Italy thru pentagon car sales US military.
Cant wait to meet everyone, and really looking forward to seeing some Canucks, I am originally from SW Ontario.

Have a safe ride out there, and see you in Vegas, Baby YEAH!

This is our "together again" vacation as we're reunited after Matt was finishing up his duty station in Naples Italy. He's headed to the ship this summer, so its Vegas for some R&R before real life kicks in again!

Looking forward to partying with new and old friends!
Rebecca, Matt and Mystique

Just Found This Thread

I'll be there beginning on Thursday (3/26).

Looking forward to seeing old friends again and making new ones.
(Just look for a buzz-headed Chicano with a Nikon.)
