Just FYI, I doubt we'll get more than 15 cars meeting up with us to go down, but we're limiting it to 15 cars b/c anymore will just make for too much baggage i.e. (attracts cops, stopping for gas becomes a Nopi event, and following people is like playing where's Waldo)

Not to scare anyone but even the trip to Deals from NE is not trailer friendly. Towards the last hour or two the roads carve through mountains and there are steep inclines and declines.

I personally saw small/mid size trucks over heat brakes constantly and a trailer swerve through 2 lanes.

Prep for reliability and there would be no reason driving the Rotary would be an issue.

Agreed, even maintaining ten cars can become a hassle. But the sight of rotary's taking up lanes is well worth it.


Ill be going down with a wed.night caravan. Well make sure to update you guys on the roads/traffic/etc.

This is going to be epic less than 3 months to go.

I'm in, but to anyone that hasn't made reservations yet, I called yesterday and all of the lodge rooms are booked. So I got a treehouse cabin.

Yea man, no problem as long as you're willing to drive up from South Jersey to meet us at the meeting location in Morristown, NJ (I am guessing you're south jersey from your location status) we would be happy to have you.

If someone happens to get pulled over, what does the rest of the caravan do? Wait at the next exit or something?

Hopefully we won't be in that situation, but best thing is for everyone to pull over on the shoulder about 1/4 up ahead from the poor bastard who's pulled over, assuming that's safe to do.

Waypoints

Anyone consider posting a waypoints along the route to join in at. If someone would map out waypoints at rest/fuel stop with 15-20 minute availability windows we could do like in one of those old MJ videos where finger-snappin posse joins in all along the route. This has worked well at a bunch of other venues I've traveled to.

As for the E85 crowd, the closest refill I could find near the destination is about 100 miles out. If I get the fuel-to-noise convertor back in time, I'll probabley trailer it for that reason. If not, I'm riding down in my rotary-heretical, kraut-mobile.

We are stopping in Wilmington, DE to pick up Scrub roughly an hour and a half into the trip, other than that, no there are no mapped out stops. (reasoning is b/c as you know with trips like this, things, people, what you account for, and times ALWAYS change)

We are trying to keep this as simple as possible, so like posted before we'll most likely be stopping every 300-400 miles for gas or as needed.
