Caravan From Atlanta to Deals Gap Info.
 

Well im just seeing who all is going to be meeting up in Atlanta to go up to Deals gap and meet the rest of the people. I know there are a few of us going from the ATL area but what about the Florida people would you be wanting to meet up with us and caravan up together on Friday? Just trying to figure this out.

I took the day off. So I'm up for getting up there to meet up with the others as soon as we can arrange all in a caravan.

Holly

I can't go until Sunday.

where is everyone going. not sure of this. HElp out

What time are the GA folks leaving? Cawood (spdrcr2235), Ben (NukeGenius) and I will be leaving Columbia at 6pm as soon as we get off work on Friday. Will you already be past us by then?

If not, perhaps we could join the caravan. If so, we'll see you at the Gap!

Reese

Hmmm, I was thinking we would meet everyone else in Robbinsville around 9ish and it takes like 2.5-3 hours to get there acroding to mapquest, which I know is often wrong. So we would have to leave Atlanta at least by 7 to get there and not be late for dinner or whatever was planned in Robbinsville.

Reese I dont know how long it takes you to get from Irmo to here but im sure it wouldnt be a problem for us to wait for you.

Jeremy,

after looking at a map, it'll be better for us to just run up I26 from here. It would take us about 3 hours to get to you. That would keep you from leaving until 9. No way that'll work. LOL.

We'll see you there!

Reese

It'll take me about 8 hours to get to atlanta on friday. I dont know if anyone else from florida will be going, so I might be by myself. :mad:

Thts cool Reece, See you there.

ijneb, what time are you going to be coming through Atlanta? If you wanna meet up with us and caravan.

Also, ijneb, I believe that LT1-10AE is coming up from Pensacola. I don't know it that helps you or not, but perhaps you could contact him.

Reese

i wanna go, need to fix my oil cooler leaking oil problem first and NEED HELP. other wise ill be stopping to put oil in every 150 miles:( so much for the caravan, ill get left behind. Anyways shopping for one on 15th. plus i need HELP with my car, first rotary ever and need some advice. Any 1st gen experts that can help please email. me at kilyourtv@hotmail.com
thanks IAN

Is it the hoses or the oil cooler itself? You can overtighten the fittings and basically crack the cooler.

Tim

I'd be happy to carvan up :)

Anyone care to post a starting location for the caravan?? How about the Jeffery's off of Lawrenceville-Suwanee and I85 at 5:30P and leaving at 6:00.

:mad: dammit cant go, found out i have skin cancer a few weeks ago and i go in for surgery on the 6th(my damn birthday!!!)so sorry guys, if anyone takes a video camera id like a copy to see what its about, the whole 318 turns in 11 miles sounds awesome.
also found out the bee hive was cracked so im getting rid of the pos.
:dammit:,:dammit:,:dammit:

If you guys tell me what exit you wil be meeting at, I'll meet you there. I'll have to get intouch with Alan (pianoprodigy) and see when he can leave and work with him, too.

-Ben

That sounds like a good idea Mike. I will meet up there. Does that sound good Jeremy?

Holly

Yeah thats cool Holly, so are we not gonna meet at Downing like you posted in the FL to the Gap post.

Jeremy

Well, when I posted that in the FL caravan thread, it looked like they were coming up on Thursday night and staying in Atlanta. So I figured I would be working on Thursday and off on Friday. I don't plan to go in to work on Friday.. But, whatever is best for the masses, will be fine with me. Actually, we can go across S.R. 20 up this far to get to 400 and drive on up. I suppose we should try to accommodate the FL people, if they want to drive up with us. If it is only you me and Mike, then we might as well meet up on the north side of I-85 like Mike suggested.

Yeah true, we just need to find out if the FL people are gonna wanna meet up with us.

L8r

OK so to put a cap on this and finalize the meeting time and place. We are going to meet at Jeffery's off of Lawrenceville-Suwanee and I85 at 5:30P and leaving at 6:00. This will work the best for the ATL people as it in the right direction. And we can get to Robbinsville around 8 to catch the others. Most of us are on the North side already so going south then back north makes no sense. For you florida people if you wanna caravan with us just meet up with us there.

If you guys could hold up just a bit longer... I can probably get off work as early as 4 but you know Friday traffic and I work smack downtown so I'll need all the grace I can get before I meet up with you!!! So know this, unless I call Holly and indicate a grave disaster, I WILL BE THERE so please don't leave me hangin!!! :-D

Ah thats cool, we will wait for yah.

l8r

PureMdMa,

I'm going to post this on the Deals Gap info page.

Also, I'm going to PM you.

PHIL

Am I correct in figuring that you all will be driving up 85 to 26 and then to 40? If so, the Columbia caravan could catch up with you at the I-85/I-26 intersection.

We would probably be at that intersection right around 7:30. From the looks of Mapquest, you wouldn't get to that intersection until closer to 8. Does that sound about right?

I figure that we could wait at the first exit after you would turn onto 26W and catch up with you as you pass by. I have Holly's number and she has mine, so that shouldn't be hard to coordinate.

If there are any problems or thoughts about this, let me know.

Reese

I dont see any reason for us not to do this.

l8r

Let's. The more the merrier. :)

NO... NO... NO! Sir, you are INCORRECT. ;) This is not possible. Sorry Reese. Jeremy hasn't looked at the map. We are meeting at exit 111 just off of I-85 and traveling north on I-985. That is more of a direct drive up. This drive will already take us over 3 hours. We cannot drive up I-85 to I-26 (which is almost 2 hours from where we are meeting at 5:30PM) and then drive over to Robbinsville. That would make our drive about a 6 hour drive, instead of 3 hours.

I guess we will see you there. Can't wait to see your car.

Are you with me on this Jeremy?

Holly

My post is invisible

I'm leaving Tallahassee Friday morning with Brandon. Looks like it'll take about 4.5 hours to get to Suwanee from there. We are talking about meeting up on FRIDAY, right? If so, count us in.

Holly, PM me your phone number - or anyone else that cares to - so I can have a contact number iso we can give you guys an ETA on our arrival when we stat getting close.

Ah crap. Gee, thanks for spoiling that for me, Hully. ;) I'll get payback somehow. Heh.

See you there.

Reese

Ah, yeah i never looked at a map, I just figured there was only one direct route and thats the way we were going.

l8r

Yeah looks like US-129 is the best way for us.

maybe i'll come with the people leaving from tallahassee

Dinner will be @ the Fontana Village. All you can eat dinner for $13.90.

$13.90 will include drinks, tax, and tip.

I would need a head count on Saturday morning.

Dinner will be at the Carolina Conference Room. Also that room will be reserved for the day just in case it rains or something.

Anyone have a computer video projector we could use?? Maybe to show some pics and videos during dinner??

I've got a projector I can bring. As long as there's a screen to display it on, we're good.

I'm hoping there might be a white wall somewhere...

Also, Anyone have a Megaphone or Bullhorn??

Sorry about the cancer Ian. I hope all goes well with the surgery and hope we see you in a seven out again soon. We will miss you Thursday at the Varsity too. :(

Take Care,
Holly

Trexthe3rd - Mike

Meeting us from Tallahassee:
LT1-10AE - Brian & Brandon
YayeR - ??

ijneb .. are you meeting up with us?

Benton .. you have to come out of hiding soon.

i am coming, but i am not sure on the caravan...depends if my buddy is coming, and when he gets off work, if he goes, he wont get off work till like 6ish, so that doesnt leave us enough time to make it to lawerenceville, we will just have to meet you guys up there....I/we are staying with Jeremy (puremdma) up there...cant wait, gonna be a blast..

just wish i had my springs and KYB's installed before i go up, looks like i will just have to settle for my new tires, which will help a great deal
