Kev I believe is actually leaving from Atlantic City area on that friday morning.

oh ya..that bum..well im still willing to meet up with people on my way down...hopefully i dont get lost

I'd meet up for a caravan but I'm about 25 minutes north of Detroit so I dunno who would all be passing through Michigan.

We are all staying at the Courtyard Columbus Dublin Marriott Hotel.

I'm out for Friday.But should be arriving early Saturday AM.

aww..what gives..who am i gonna caravan with now?

Sorry Buddy.I'm still going but I won't be leaving T.O till 7pm.But it was better this way than not coming

ya thats true...i'll be leaving early in the morning..probably like..4..or 5am..beat all or most of the traffic..get to the border at 5 or 6am..so it'll be good..i gotta figure out which way im going...is route 71 the best way right? thats what google earth states

yeah, hit 71 all the way down to the Columbus 270 loop. it's cake. I wouldn't mess with the 77 to 70 crap, takes you down more East, waste of time IMO.

I like cake.Wave,why you leaving so early,you'll get there around 11 or 12.What ya going to do with all that time you have.

sleep lol..or eat..OR if the hotel has internet/tv i'll bring my 360 and kick back and play..but most likely not..maybe bring my golf clubs and hit up an 18 or something..im sure others will be there early too?

When are you leaving,Friday or Saturday.The hotel check-in is 3pm.

Probably leaving from here at 5 in the morning. 10 hour drive for me.Oh yeah, I am reserving the room this weekend Wave.

I'd be leaving the friday morning of course, and if snow gets there at 3 or 4..maybe i'll leave a lil later in the morning then lol..what does one bring to such events? when i was with the JCO i didnt bring anything but a chair..

B/C of what Kev just said I just booked the room.

i may leave around 4 or 5am..and maybe do a round of golf before everything happens..i heard some of the golf courses down there are amazing..specially in akron

I feel like I live a soap opera.I should be arriving a little earlier than previously said.I should roll into Ohio around 10pm Friday night.

awesome..we'll still be up for sure

so who's counting down?? im excited for this trip, already got money aside for the trip, already know what im bringing and stuff, only thing im still figuring out is the route, still seeing if anyone else on the way wants to meet up to caravan

I wish I was able to caravan. But I will coming from a different way and nobody else is going that way. So I am all alone.

aww..poor snow...lol...well for anyone who is coming from ontario or buffalo area or even the states in between..i'd love to get a caravan going, i'd be taking route 71 all the way down pretty much

Just some comments from a local - Golf - Muirfield is private. Try the airport - a nice muni course.Bowling - The Palace at Rt 161 & Cleveland. Easton - awesome shopping, eating and entertainment - on Morse Road near 270. Also adjacent is Smokey Bones, Red Robin, Logan's Roadhouse. Inside Easton Town Center itself - Cheesecake Factory, an Irish Pub, a high end Chinese place, McCormick & Schmicks seafood ($$$$), Max & Ermas, Bar Louie, etc. Follow Morse Road further east to Morse and Hamilton Road - O'Charleys. Max & Ermas, Cap City Diner, Mi-Mexico. Also Johnny Buccelli's for good cheap eats (hamburgers, pizza, subs, salads) but no booze at this location. Further east on Morse is Hoggy's. There is also a Johnny Buccelli's on Bethel Road off I-71. They used to have beer at the Bethel Road location but I have not been at that location for awhile. There may also be a Hoggy's nearer to the Courtyard. I am not that familiar with that area. The world famous Columbus Zoo is not too far from that Courtyard hotel. Another reasonably close meca is Polaris - one exit North of I-270 on I-71. Many of the same restaurants there includng Hoggy's.

AHHHH, well My plans just got FUBAR'd. Looks like I'll be getting there at 11:00ish on Saturday but because of an in-law event, I'll have to leave at 1:00pm. WOW this really sux. Everytime there is always something. BAH

At least you will be there for a couple hours.

yep, better late then never

15 or so Vibes for sure... this is shaping up to be a "hardcore" meet!

I would consider comming, but, alas, OZZFEST is the 26th for me... I sure would love to come though... maybe next year...

I need to ask someone who lives in the area for a favor.I need to wash the vibe when I get down there,can I wash it at your house or can someone point me in the direction of a hand car wash place.I can't use car washes because my from lip will hit the machine.Any help would be appreciated.

+2 ^^^^^^^^^

+3...mines gonna b dirty by the time i get their..

There are 2 within 3 miles of the dealer. The dealer is on Billingsly road which is off Sawmill Road. There is one about three miles south on the right before Bethel Road. There is also one just off 161 about 1-1/2 miles to the west of Sawmill behind a Marathon Station on the right. 161 is about 1/2 mile south of Billingsly off Sawmill.

I'm so jealous, I really am going to miss youse guys this year...(with the heat though, I might be happier to be at work, even though it hit 111 today....IN middle TN!!!!!!!!!!0

i probaly wash my car night before the meet but what should i use to clean the engine?

engine degreaser maybe?, i've never really cleaned my engine in the old car, just hosed it down and dropped the hood..lol..maybe use some armour all on the plastic parts to give it a shine like its brand new still

Not to spoil anything, but I was looking at the 10 day forecast for the area. Friday is calling for isolated t-storms, saturday is scattered t-storms, and sunday is sunny.

Yeah,don't spoil it.Judging by that,it will be sunny on Saturday then,wuhoo.
