OK cool. Do you have a guess-timate of about how long it would take to get from GR to there? Also, I plan on driving over there if anyone wants to throw some of their sh*t in my car. There is no way I'm leaving my car at an offramp carpool lot all weekend.

I-94 is exit 34 from US-131, so depending on where you get onto 131 you are going to have probably a 45 minute drive to get to 94. Then another 20 minutes from there to get to exit 92.

I was thinking of leaving to come back Saturday night around 7 or so. That will give us 24 hours overthere to play.

Well, it doesn't sound like we're saving much here if I'm the only one hitching a ride. You want to leave your car at my house instead Chris? or maybe you could meet jon and leave it at his house or something.

I just planned on following you guys. I dont have room for much more equipment in my car (espically chairs), and I dont think anyone will have enough room for me and all my stuff. I just wanted to meet up and caravan over there.

Mike, you can ride over with me if you want to save some money. I can get around 30MPG in the Bonneville.

I think we should all meet at the Car pool parking at Exit 92 (Springfield) between 5 and 5:30 then we can swap stuff into other vehicles or what ever. It takes about 20 minutes to get to this exit from Oakland Dr if John and Chris are going to meet there. I will be getting out of work at 5, but it only takes me about 5 minutes to get there. My phone will be off until after work.
Chad, we gonna be able to fit chairs in there? Iknow I'll probably have to take it apart somewhat, but just want to make sure

How many chairs are you bringing? The whole back seat is empty and I think we can put your computer in the trunk with mine. We'll see when we all meet up. I don't have a problem leaving the Bonneville at the car pool parking lot. With the Shell station right across the road it's not that bad of an area.

I'm just bringing the one chair, but I assumed you'be bringing one as well.

Also, if noone is leaving a car at the car pool lot, can we meet a little further this way? exit 92 is about a 10 mile back-trek from here. We could meet at the shell station atop exit 97 and go from there. I'm just going to have my wife bring me out so I am not leaving the car anywhere.

OK, how about this: Yomama, can you fit my chair and stuffs in the back of the jeep? And if so, would you mind if I rode with you? If that works out, I can leave my car at John's house and then we can meet up with Chad and Mike at the Shell station off exit 97. From there its on to Detroit. Acceptable?

I have 2 folding chairs in my trunk now, they are the ones that I used Q's LAN party. I didn't have any problem sitting on it all night.

The Shell station at exit 97 works for me.

ok, I'll take your word for it then and just leave mine at home. It's a luxury for sure... but in the interest of saving space

BTW, I'll have the gate open, park in the driveway, try not to go on the grass, I already tried that and put a big rut in the lawn

4 cars can fit easily, everyone else, in the street.
