Heh, woops. Still have last year's date stuck in my head. No wait... That's two years ago. Argh.kostby wrote:June 22nd 2015 appears to be a Monday. Is that correct?
Father's Day is Sunday, June 21st 2015.
Saturday is when the majority of the "action" will be taking place i.e. cruise night in downtown Pontiac with tons of other vehicles and lots of spectators.gtv237 wrote:Which day would be best?

That'll be me
Great! I'll add you once we have a confirmation. Feel free to post up on the GenVibe Facebook page, too, if you have one.Dairgo wrote:I might actually be able to make this one.
I'll have to make a few calls to confirm, but you can probably count me in for Friday and Saturday, and I'll take off sometime Sunday Morning.

It's at least 700 miles for me and I'm going, dragging the family also. Road tripzbyers wrote:If it weren't almost 600 miles one way for me, I would probably be there. I've seen previously there has been a few local meets up in Erie, PA. Do they still do any up there?
There have been a few up that way, and I drove from Minnesota to get to one. Quite the hall that was... but it was fun. Pontiac is a very nice and family friendly town that has been kind to us, so I look forward to another meet there.zbyers wrote:If it weren't almost 600 miles one way for me, I would probably be there.

There may be another meet in Erie this year. I'm waiting for the event schedules to come out for this summer to see if we can bundle our event with another and have a bit more fun.zbyers wrote:Checked at work and they won't give me the time off to go then. Oh well. I'm planning a trip to Mount Rushmore later in the year and will probably stop there and take some pics like in Vibenvy's signature. Seems like a neat place to stop.
That Route 66 mural definitely makes an excellent backdrop for pictures! Too bad you won't be joining us, but I'll be looking forward to seeing pictures if you go through Pontiac on your way to Mount Rushmore!zbyers wrote:I'm planning a trip to Mount Rushmore later in the year and will probably stop there and take some pics like in Vibenvy's signature.

We will keep you updated. By the sounds of it, some people may also want a more localized meet for the Ohio/Michigan area. Lots of chatter on the Facebook group.Derf wrote:Was looking forward to the Pontiac this year. But... friends wedding is same day. Will try to catch up on one of the other meetups later in the year. Will allow more time to complete upgrades!

Heck, depending on where exactly it would be, I may be up for another meet later this year since I'm not too far from the Michigan / Ohio area!

I went with the quality inn, I have a choice rewards membership and I paid $80 a night booking early. I looked at both hotels and Quality Inn is more what my family wants. Just look at both and see what is better for you and your family.Dairgo wrote:Ok, things are a go. Leave request approved. Discussed this with family they are fine with it. I just need to make a hotel reservation, which one is recommended?
I see you live at the east end of the devils highway (666). I've always wanted to drive that road, as I hear good things about it.zbyers wrote:I received a promotion at work. Gonna check tomorrow and see if I can get the time off for this weekend. If it is approved, I will be up for meeting in Erie, PA and following whomever out.
I do live by it. It is a really nice drive in the summer and fall as the leaves are changing. Very scenic area and lots of back roads to travel. Sounds like a plan for the meet. I'll let you know if I get the time off.hotbug1776 wrote:I see you live at the east end of the devils highway (666). I've always wanted to drive that road, as I hear good things about it.
If you want to meet up in Edinboro the morning of the 19th and tag along, we will work out details as the time gets closer.
I plan on getting some dinner Friday and crashing in my hotel room. Saturday, meeting up with the group in the AM at the car wash (unofficial tradition), then the parking lot at the courthouse. From there we may all head out for some photo ops (there are a few just to the north of Pontiac) or just hang out and BS until the cruise in, where we will probably tour the museums and see all of the awesome cars. Then dinner and my hanging out, then bed again. in the morning on Sunday, I will be gone around 6AM for the long trip home, anxiously awaiting the announcement for next years location and date (I'm actually already anxiously awaiting next years location and date, I hope it's out west or someplace like the tail of the dragon)Dairgo wrote:So what is the current plan for Friday and Saturday, apart from dinner possibly on each night, and the cruise on the 20th?
Go and see the museums, go to a park, or a movie some where (is there a drive in theater?)?
Pretty much what Andrew (hotbug1776) said. Back in 2013, those of us that arrived Friday afternoon / evening went out for dinner and than just hung out in the parking lot of the Best Western bs'ing.Dairgo wrote:So what is the current plan for Friday and Saturday, apart from dinner possibly on each night, and the cruise on the 20th?

Same here! It would be cool to be able to finally take the Vibe on a longer road trip!hotbug1776 wrote:I'm actually already anxiously awaiting next years location and date, I hope it's out west or someplace like the tail of the dragon
A nice 10-12hr drive somewhere different wouldn't bother me Preferably staying east of the Mississippi!vibenvy wrote: Same here! It would be cool to be able to finally take the Vibe on a longer road trip!
There is a fairly well run and updated drive in theater with first run movies in another small town nearby, Harvest Moon Drive In, Gibson City.vibenvy wrote:Dairgo wrote: Unfortunately, there is no drive-in nearby that I'm aware of, but there is a movie theater in downtown Pontiac.
