Todd,

Somehow I missed this message.

Anyhoo, I'll be going through Detroit on Tuesday night on my way to Chicago for 3 nights before the meet. I've managed to turn the 3 day meet into a 10 day vacation.

I can do a small caravan out of Chicago on Friday evening, if anyone's interested.

Significant Technical Input Registered SVX Classic SVX
Caravan from MD/VA

Harry Newman (newsvx) is going to meet me at the Gateway Restaurant in Breezewood, PA around noon on THURSDAY, JULY 18, 2002. Arriving the day before gives us a chance to rest up, wash the cars, check out hail shelters,etc before the majority start to arrive.

We'll come back after the SIA plant tour sometime Monday afternoon and stop somewhere inbetween Lafayette and Virginia for the night.

Anyone interested in hooking up email me at jhoffman@ccbcmd.edu or call me at 410-455-4227 or else Harry at harry_newman@cox.net

Do not take the GW bridge or the cross bronx during rush hour. Rush hour is about from 4am to 10pm daily M-F. 5am to 9 pm Sat and 9am to 7pm on Sunday.

I would suggest the Merrit Pkwy to 287, TZ bridge, 287 to 80 west but even those roads are crowded during Rush Hour.

Go north and take 84 for a better ride. Rt 80 and the NJ tpk and 78 all turn into parking lots if there is bad crash.

If you take the X Bronx watch out for BIG wheel bending pot holes and take it slow.

Well I see now that Lafayette is south of rt 80. I would take 287 around the city and then pick-up 78 west. You may also consider coming down the east river of Manhatten and taking the Varazanno Bridge.

In around NYC use 1010 AM for traffic reports and 101.5 fm in NJ.

MA-Lafayette Route

David-
Here are a couple of suggestions:
A) 395 - Northern Route
1. 395N to 90W
2. 90W to 84SW to Hartford
3. 84W across CT & NY to PA
4. 84W in PA to T with 380 near Scranton
5. 380S to 80W
6. 80W across PA to Youngstown, OH
7. In Youngstown, pick up 76W to Akron
This will be approx 580mi from start.
**Stop for night**
8. From Akron, take 76W to 71SW to Columbus
9. In Columbus, take 270SW around city to 70W
10. 70W into Indiana
11. 70W to Indianapolis
12. 65N out of Indy to Lafayette.
13. Exit 172 off 65N (Left onto IN-26 to hotel)

B) 395 - Southern Route
1. 395S to 95W
2. 95W to Milford, CT
3. Exit 38 off 95 to 15 (Merritt Pkwy)W
4. Merritt-W to NY and Rt 287
5. 287N across Tappan Zee BR
6. Continue on 287/87 to exit 15
7. 287SW in NJ to 80W
8. 80W across NJ into PA
9. After passing 380 junction, follow steps
6-13 above.

My Tentative plan leans toward Route B and I would leave
here Thurs 7/18 in the AM to arr Lafayette on Fri 7/19.

driving routes

Dan,

Route B sounds good to me. I'm more familiar with A but that's ok.... I guess that means that you'll have to lead A Thursday morning departure sounds good to me. So.....where do you want to meet???

Route B

David-
If you come down 395, we can hook up somewhere near
where it meets 95, as I will be on 95 from Providence.
Another possibility is for you to come down 146 to 295S
then 295S to 95 and meet at first rest stop after you get on
95.
I will look at map for rest areas where we could hook up
if you come on 395 and let you know.
Also, I'm not welded to Route B if A is better for you.
Regards,
Dan
ps: Have you made Lafayette room res. yet? Also, do you have
motel pref for Akron stop? As ref, there's a Red Roof on our route there.

routes

Dan,

I'm pretty sure that I would rather do route A. I think I've done that route before (some of it anyway) and I remember it being pretty easy (and scenic in some areas). Anyway.......


Yes, we did make reservations at the Homewood Suites. Have you?

Check your PM's

84 shortcut sounds fine.
Thanks for post-10 invite, but I'll have to pass as I have to be back. Used to get into Chicago frequently on business...you will enjoy it - fun town w/ lots of good action and food.

197 to 169S to jct 44 in Pomfret and stop at
the Vanilla Bean Restaurant.

Also, have room in Lafayette, so won't need
bunk...thanks again v.much for offer.
