Bruce, I'm really sorry to here the bad news but understand your set back. You were one of the many people I was looking forward to meeting. Hopefully at one of the reunions or where ever that will happen. In the meantime I'll just have to put up with Timmy's NE accent but it sure doesn't come close to yours!! Kieths dads is close!!!

Maybe a dumb question...is there any kind of dress code at the country club Friday night?

Eric,
What time are you leaving in the morning that you expect to arrive by 2-4 in the afternoon? Must be pretty early around 3-4 AM?

It should only be about a 9 hour drive for you guys, right? Cleveland is my half way point! Dont forget to account for the 1 hr time difference.

Plus you never know about Chicago - Usually sucks

Then what am I going to wear to the banquet? That reminds me, I should pull the shoes off the package tray and clean them up, still dirty from the Goose Blind 2008. I'll bring my tux just in case.

Man, that is a relief. I was afraid Hollywood might not wear any!

I AM OUT OF HERE HEADING NORTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Headed to the lake for final lake test before heading out tomorrow night. Boat Doc going to yell at you here soon. I want to try to catch you before you leave for GL.

I'll see if I can find some cut-offs and a wife beater.   

James, I think Billy is already on the road.

Google maps say 9hrs 42min... AAA says 8hrs 40min...   I am figuring 10 - 11 hrs including stopping to eat and get gas. Eric should have about 45 min less of a drive than me.

I think I'm going to leave tomorrow evening and drive through the night to avoid the Chicago traffic. If we get too tired we may stop after Chicago and sleep for a bit. I called the Bayview and they said I could check in early as long as the room is ready but they don't open 'till 8am. Plan to get some sleep Thursday morning.

Critter, Jbear, Rodney's camper with Jerry and Reid, and Matt in the Excursion with Crush, are cruising this minute thru the NC mountains in route to our Kentucky (Exit 95) layover about 1:00am tonight. Critter thinks that just because he's from NC that he's somehow entitled to drive like a Nascar regular. We've got him leading with that big tank of his hoping we could draft a little and save some fuel, but he's about to lap the rest of us. We plan to leave the Richmond, KY area around 7:00AM and make it to GL about 5-6:00PM. We'll report back in later.    

The adrenelin is flowing already . . .

Just finished way overpacking the truck, going to get a few hours shuteye and pulling out around 3:30, with no traffic we would arrive around 5 pm... see yall soon.

We are on our way as well. Should be rolling into GL sometime in the early evening tomorrow.
