STL cruise to elaphanet rocks Oct 11, 09

Title says it all.
Will be at McDonald, im thinking start show about 10am ish and head off at 11am. With the quick map I did in google maps it is 2hr 46min. Im not indorsing any speeding or other violations but if things are the same we should beat that time. This will put us down there about 2pm. They have grills and there are other food options near by. Feel free to offer any input.

Gas up before hand or will there be any stops during the drive?
And any more specific on the starting/meeting place?

start point
501 Old Smizer Mill Rd, Fenton, MO 63026 (McDonald's Hamburgers)
we will be driving just out side Hillsboro, De Soto, and Potosi. We can stop half way or 2/3 the way there but i would say fill up before we head out its about 77 miles each way so a full tank should get you there and back.

Sounds like a good plan, count me in!

Print off some maps and hand out to everybody before we leave out, in case somebody gets separated. Also put your cell number on the map so lost people can call to get back on track.

Let's plan on grilling at the park, sound good? I'll volunteer to bring a bag of charcoal, lighter fluid, and some grill tools. How about everybody else post of what you can bring. Burgers, brats, buns, side dishes, plates and utensils, etc. And I'd say everybody bring your own cooler.

we actually have another meet in Columbia (mizzou) this weekend that a couple of us have already said were going too, i actually considered ditching that meet for this, but i go to school at Mizzou, so the meet is right here in town, and my weekend is PACKED!! but most of us over there have been tryin to get a huge meet goin in STL tried a weekend or so ago and only got 6 rx8's out there but were making strides. But ill be going back and forth between here and rx8club trying to coordinate some things and maybe come spring we can get a HUGE meet goin.

not sure if any of you guys would be interested but i think a couple of us are going to try and make it back to the last midnight madness of the year. Its out at Gateway if any of you are unsure of what it is, its a drag, drift, and theres a small car show. You pay $25 and get to run your car a couple of times, the drifting is normally sub par, and the car show is mainly members from over on STLSR (St Louis Street Racing) but we normally find a way to have a good time. i know some of the guys over on rx8 have been tryin to get some guys together for it.

Wish i could make it out there this weekend though, a cruise sounds like a real good time, but we will have to get something goin here shortly. Someone make sure and get some pics and let me know, i've never been or heard of elaphanet rocks so im interested to see what its like.
