Default Orlando caravan to Gainesville 2/27/11

I am down for this show. I will probably meet everyone on the turnpike since we are all leaving for different areas in Orlando. Anyone who is going please chime in so that we can put together a plan.

meet spot #1 will most likely be the RaceTrac gas station on Avalon and 50 at 8 am for the east side people. then we'll jump on 408 from there.

not sure where yet where meet spot #2 will be to meet you and Eric

suggestions?

If I do go I would think the best place to meet would be somewhere on the turnpike right past the 429. Not sure if John would be taking that route but the 429 is closest for me and a few miles up is the turnpike for me. There are definitely a few exits right off the turnpike around there where we could just meet at a gas station and then get back on the road heading to gainesville.

Let me know if that sounds like a good idea to everyone.

We'll be rolling out from the East around 8:00, so if you want to join us the route will be 408 East to Turnpike North to 75? I really don't want to stop the caravan once we start on our way? You can stage along the turnpike or 408 and join in if you are going with us? Other than you Ray, John(LS), and myself, I don't know who esle is going? We'll call you once we leave the Eastside.

Darrell, I will be taking I-4 to the 408, so I guess Eric and I will stage on the turnpike and you and Ray can just call us when you are a few miles away from where we're at and we will just keep it at a slow pace until you catch us. I'll call you that morning and let you know where that will be.

I would like to be staged by 8:00 on the turnpike that way there are no delays. I'm sure there is a rest area we can sit at. I will look into it.

I would be fine with staging on the side of the turnpike until you guys pass my way. John can just call me when you guys are close to the 429 and I will be there waiting. I should find out for sure by saturday whether I can make it out or not.
