This is copied from the WMDSM forums. This is the plan we have:

We are meeting on Friday August 15th. Details below.

Meet location:Aldi's on Clyde park & 28th st.
Meet up time:8:30-9:00-ish
Travel plans:131S to M6, to 96, to 23 S

Once in route, we will have one pit stop at exit 63 on I-96 east bound. This will be a 10 minute stop to let anyone catch up or to drain the lizard .

We will be meeting Paul and co. at exit 31 on highway 23 which is the willis rd exit.

From there we will be going down to Norwalk. Stopping for the N/T crowd in Toledo hasn't been successful in the last few years with everyone showing up at late times. We all have reservations and there is no point for us to have to call ahead for a late check in. We will however make a stop there for a leg stretch, drink break, or bathroom break.

So, if you're in the Grand Rapids area, meet those guys in the morning at Aldi. Otherwise, you can meet up with the entire group on Highway 23 south at exit 31 at around 1:00 PM.

Don't eat at Arby's. Don't even go near Arby's.

i forget what happend there a couple years back why shouldnt we go there or around there?!

Drunk DSM'ers, property destruction, police, an angry manager, David Buschur= The Arby's episode. It's best just to avoid the place altogether.

Paul, do you have to have a reservation at the campground in advance, or can you show up anytime and get a spot? My schedule has changed; now it looks like I won't be getting there until about 9:00pm on Saturday instead. I may just end up sleeping in the car (with a girl!!!!!!!!!!!) if the campground can't accept me.

You'll have to ask Dave about that. I don't know anything about the campground...

EDIT: Posted by Dave on the Link boards:

Bring extention cords ! they deff are not supplied. You may want to bring a 3-way splitter also.

You should be able to just show up i think. seeings how we are this close to the date, prob no sence in calling. You may want to drive in and see were everyone is before you pick a site. We should be there by 6pm on friday at the latest.

I may just end up sleeping in the car (with a girl!!!!!!!!!!!) if the campground can't accept me.

Good work. That's better than Bart did last year. He brought 2 dudes and planned on sleeping in the car.

They don't like our crowd.

It turned into a 90 minute pit stop waiting fo the entire N/T convoy to get there in the previous years. Not that I complained any... But TJ wants to get into town a bit sooner this year, and I understand his point.

What route are you taking?

 

[MrBoxx]

Bart called me at work today. He said they're taking an Xterra... and possibly sleeping in it. He said, and I quote: "There's probably room for like, 5 people in it, so if you and your girl want, it'd probably be more comfortable than your 2g."

I'll bring a tent, an air mattress, and a sleeping bag, and we'll see if I can get a campsite. It's a two-room tent, and I spoke to MrPeepers today and if he and his bud can't find a place to sleep, I offered him the other room.

I forgot to add a smiley up there. Oops.

Well, the 80/90 goes through the city I live in, so I'll be going 80/90 to 250. Hazard is joining a convoy from Chicago, and they are pitting at the reststop in Elkhart, so I may join them there if they arrive at any decent time. If they are too late or early for my tastes, I'll be going it alone.

I do hope to meet a bunch of you guys this year.
