I know we already have a caravan post Denny, but just trying to steam line it a bit. Hey if you could make it a stick I appreciate it


Anywho, some of you folks have expressed interest in coming thru Chicago on the way down. For those of you that have a long drive, don't know the way, or will want a break from driving I am offering up my house (with the owners, aka parents, permission). I am leaving as well as a buddy of mine from my house. I live right by where 90 and 94 come together on the NW side of Chicago.

For those that would rather go around and pay the tolls, I don't live that far north, HOWEVER, if enough people want to avoid the construction on the Dan Ryan (90/94) we can go to the toll way, I don't live that far from it, OR take some main streets until we are far enough south of the construction.

Traffic will stink if we take the Ryan, but when the Ryan and toll way meet up we will be wait in some messy traffic (I do know away around, but it depends on the size of the group, easy to get lost, or I will print directions). I have been to Denny's many times and know the way by heart (no getting lost here).

SO if anyone want to use my house as a stop, chime in and let me know when you are coming down and which way, or PM me for any more info you may want. Let me know!!!

See you at the FEST,

Mike

 

Mike,

What time are you thinking of leaving? I may be in Oak Lawn and meet up with you guys on 57 at 119th. Let me know.

I am not sure, I want to be cruising around 10ish, maybe earlier. If all goes well I will take the Dan Ryan and meet up with you. I take it you are taking the toll way or will you just be in Oak Lawn by chance?? Either way we can work something out to meet up. If my stall and trans doesn't like long e-way runs I might cruise down Harlem to avoid winding the motor and trans out and run the risk of breaking something. But keep me posted as to where you want to meet up!!

 

i'll be trailering down 159th street to cicero and take cicero south down to pauling road, then pauling road over.

 

my buddy wont have his truck ready by then and i really want to bring it and i dont want to pay to tow it so mine will be driven....very loudly. i will probably meet up and follow you Steve, i want to avoid the mess by 394, 80 and all that crapola

 

alright let me know a couple days in advance then and i'll shoot out times, etc.

 

Mike,

I'll keep you posted here...I may be in Oak Lawn because we're having a garage sale at my girlfriend's parents' house. If I go from the city...I'll just drive north-west to your place and roll from there. Otherwise I will leave from Oak Lawn and see if we can meet up.

It's all good,
Adam

 

Awesome, I either way I will end up meeting up with Steve (aka xpndbl3) on 159th and Harlem and taking Cicero and back roads down to Denny.

 

yea the more the merrier on this cruise down there....let's get a big caravan

 

Steve,

You may be able to hit a couple different caravans if I don't get mine done in time (one with your car on the trailer and one with mine).

 

haha nice kevin, sounds like fun times for sure. if that's the case i'll probably grab your car the night before and bring it back to my house to sit in the driveway, that way i'm not driving 5 hours the day of the fest all around

we'll see as it gets closer, i guess all the trailer haters can't say much if they break down and need tows from me, hope they bring their wallets though lol.

 

i might take you up on your "tow" offer Steve if I can't get mine trans done or get a tow, if you are able to do it....and i will have the wallet

 

we'll see man, i don't want to spend the whole day driving around trailering people for 5 or 6 hours.

 

Alright Mike...I'm in like flint. I'll be in the city this weekend, so I want to meet at your place and roll from there. What time do you want me there by? I left you a PM too. - Adam

 

I should of read this first, is that Flint Michigan?? If you are already out south of the city I can meet you by xpndbl3's cause I like the route he is taking, otherwise I am going to try and find a new route....and i replied to your pm

 

yea i'll post up details when it gets closer to the show, probably thursday or friday at the latest, i need to figure out how i'm trailering 3 cars to the show....argh.

 

you could throw one on the trailer, push one, and use a tow strap and pull the other one from the trailer....lol

 

i made a caravan post on the chicago board for anyone who is interested.
