Alright, so Delaware house is where the three caravan's will converge. As for the NJ caravan since theres so few of us I am still trying to figure out if we will be coming as a group or one by one. If anyones interested shoot me a PM and I ll give you my number. To get there by noon I need to leave here by 9 or 10...

Just don't expect me to do stupid stuff, just enjoying a Saturday drive, and in no rush. (sorry if it sounds boring)

Oh,, here is the plan. Zinda/Excluesive,agree upon a meet spot and come down together(Chris be on time,,LOL!), also one of you guys may want to drop a PM to PHILLYGS since he will be heading up the Philly/De part of the caravan. This way, you guys will have contact with that part of the caravan and they can wait on you guys if you aren't too far away. Please try to be at the meet place in Deleware by noon; and of course as Excluesive says, practice responsible caravanning.

That sounds good but you gotta let me know what time you want to meet me there. They want to meet up at the Delaware House by noon.

The Philly guys are taking I-95 I am assuming? Perhaps, we can meet up with them and then slingshot over to the waterhouse?

I got that covered, I've been in contact with PhillyGS3 about meeting up (I have his contact info too). Zinda, does 9:30 sound good to you? Or should we meet a couple minutes earlier?

I-95 is funny b/c it breaks from the NJTPK for a bit and then runs thru Philly. You guys just take the NJTPK straight down to the end, cross over the Deleware River bridge and pick up 95 again south of the bridge. The meet place is ON I-95 at exit 5, on the left side of the highway. This will be the LAST rest area before you cross over into MD. Swinging over to the meet place is as simple as pulling off the highway to grab a soda or something. Chris, I am sure youare familiar with the rest area. Bring her down. Chris you also have my number if you need directions or anything.

OK,, trying to update and get the caravan list in order. From what I can see, based on those who re-signed to attend the list is as follows.

PA area

1. CarlislePA (coming down I-83 to join MD)
2. PhillyGS3 (Philly area)
3. MrG4LIFE (Deleware area meeting Philly area at Rest area on I-95)
4. Bellex

NY/NJ area

1. Hoon (most likely coming from DC/VA area whle on break)
2. Excluesive (NY area,, meeting Zinda on NJTPK)
3. Zinda (NY area,,, meeting Excluesive on NJTPK)
4. Mr. Mark (Lower NJ area)

Anyone I forgot please add your name to the listing so we can see who to expect for the caravan from the North.

Thanks!

My car seems to be unexpectedly in the shop today and tomorrow. Which means my plans to attend might be hampered. I am so pissed off right now at my shop cause I haven't even seen my car for over a month.

Since the mall adds only 10 miles to the trip, I had spoken with phillyGS3 about going towards the mall to meet up with the arundel mills people. We are trying to get to the mall between 1:15 and 1:30. This will give me time to stop at the Mobil (by Jared's jewelry and Petsmart) to get a touchless car wash since weather in NYC won't be cooperating.

Hope this works for all. I have posted this in the Bmore caravan thread.
