What time are you leaving? Welcome dinner starts @ 5P and registration is from 2-5P. It takes like 8 hours to get there.

Probably REALLY early 5:30-6am to leave room for gas stops etc. Hoping to meet up with some folks heading down, we are pretty flexible just want to make dinner this year, last year we missed it by an hour. We left early but the group was a bit too leisurely at breakfast, lunch and gas stops, a lot of fun but want to make better time than the 13 hours it took last year.

Hehe - you'll have to catch me first!

I am actually going to be taking a detour once I hit TN... I'm driving down through Asheville to Robbinsville, NC first. I have an important rendezvous to make.

I'm planning on leaving Annandale, VA at 7am, so I can hopefully make it to Robbinsville by 3 or 4.

Well, you got it partially right...

33 cats... no, 18... but none of them will be in NC
17 dogs... no... 1... but he won't be in NC either
2 men... no, 1... and yep - he'll be at the rendezvous!

Looks like we are leaving from the same place as last year-Starbucks in Bethesda on Old Georgetown Rd (mile north of the Old Georgetown Rd exit of I-495) at 5:30 tomorrow morning with the hopes of making registration and dinner. The more the merrier if you would like to join us please be there before 5:30 or we will see you on I-81.
