Tobasco & jzubik, a bunch of people from the north shore vette club are going down there on thur and coming back on sun. Let me know if you want the contact info for the caravan down there. They are staying at the hampton inn and have things planned out for the weekend. I'm not going but they would not mind if you want to tag long.

Thanks, Frank - but we're heading down on Wednesday to beat the rush and get settled in. You ought to come down - it's a great show with a lot to do and see - especially the whole 2015 line up!

Sounds like a hoot! What route are you taking? Where would be the best place to join your caravan? Effingham? About what time?

The most direct route for those of us in the Chicago area is straight down I65 through Indianapolis and Louisville toward BG. I've done the I57 route in the past, and although less trucks, it's more time. If anyone has a better route, please chime in! But we could probably meet up anywhere along the route if coordinated time. Looks like a caravan of only 3 cars right now leaving Wednesday. If you can't meet up with us, hope to see you there!

Indy would definitely be the long way for me. I'll take I64 to US41S thru Henderson and Owensboro. Then US231 straight to BG. I'll be staying at the EconoLodge.

Weather is looking great at this point. Oils like a sunny day on the drive down on Wednesday, beating the rain in Chicago. Then it's supposed to be sunny and upper 70's in BG all week, with rain only in the forecast for Friday. Whoo-Hooo, I can take that for April!

Joe & Jim (and anyone else wanting to join) - let's meet at the Lincoln Oasis @ 9am. Jim, if you need more time, just let me know. I'm also still interested in stopping at Klipsch in Indy on the way down. Not only will it help break up the drive, but I might be returning a speaker for repair as well. Let me know if a problem.

It's finally here. Time to.
