OK, SE NELOC caravan crew, I think our goal will be to meet at the Chick Fil-A at Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover, MD at 9am and leave by 9:30am.
Here are some key rest stops along the way. Let me know if you will be joining us at any of these. Later this week, I will put ETAs for these rest stops...and I will send PMs with my cell phone #.
Possible rest stops to pick up NELOCers:
Maryland House I95 in Harford County in the median
Delaware Rest Stop on I95 in the median
NJ Turnpike Northbound Rest Area between Exits 1 & 2
NJ Turnpike Northbound Rest Area between Exits 4 & 5

Excellent, I can meet you guys at the Chik Fil A.
I hope more members from DC/MD and even VA can go. Besides the presence of the immediate DMV area in the NY tri state area, want a nice number of Lexuses from the area rolling together. And let's keep it around 70mph please lol occasional pulls are fine. I've been to other meets where some start doing constant 80 and people get behind.

But I won't leave anyone. And everyone will have my cell # so we should be fine. My worry oftentimes in caravans is the State Police. I have a radar detector, so I am typically OK....but others don't. So if a pack of us races ahead, and then others do their best to catch up....I'm always worried that the po-po will nab those speeding to catch up. So we'll stay in a pack for the most part.....as I'll always slow down to let others catch back up.
And we'll all have our headlights on, as it helps everyone keep track of each other.

Chris, you know I would for you....but that's like 90 minutes south of me. That's pretty far. And I haven't heard from anyone that's coming up from that part of Virginia.

Having all those stops to pick people up is going to make your whole caravan a mess. You should meet in White Marsh, and once in Delaware and continue on to the meet. You are gonna have a nightmare keeping track of all the people getting on and off the highway. It is also a waste of time stopping that many times because you will have people going in and out of these rest stops to buy drinks and food, use the restroom and to bs with other people. If this is the way this caravan is being conducted I look forward to hearing all the complaints about it.

Whoever leading the caravan should have everyone's number.
Have 2 other backup leaders ride in the middle and the back to keep the flock intact. Just my thoughts.

I don't think we're stopping at each of these rest stops, only those ones where I know someone will be waiting. I was just giving 'possible' caravan pickup locations. But even if we do stop at each one (again, doubtful), it'll be fine.
It's not that serious, we're just cruising to a meet.....it'll all work itself out. And everyone will have my cellphone #, so we'll be straight.
