If ya'll are planning a convoy to or from the nat meet. Please post here. This will serve as an "index" to all the convoy posts, so folks can get info if need be.

If you plan on traveling with buds (mudd ;) , sammy, stepside454) post here where you are traveling from, and a link to your convoy post.

thanks!

I dunno. Not many way down here, but hoping maybe someof us will meet up along the way.....If they can handle a Dodge in their midsts.

We are in the same boat, we can't really make it comfortably in one day. I am hoping that wherever we end up the first night that we will be able to join a convoy from there. I will map it out and see where we should be able to make it too and then start looking for someone to follow.

I know there's a few guys coming out of Ohio, but I don't know of any official convoys though. I'll probably be out there a day early... and maybe a day late. I wanna get in on as much board meet fun as I can.

I am not sure exactly when I plan on arriving, maybe a day or two early. Whenever I'll be glad to follow, lead or run in between.

Hey Bill, what's your itinerary? I'm up in the air about bringing my truck, but the wife and kids will be riding in the 'yota. If I were coming straight back I'd take my truck for sure, but we're gonna loaf all over the country before we come back.

Not 100% sure yet Krue. Thought about driving up Thursday to help out on Friday (if they need it). I'll leave sometime Sunday and drive straight back. You gonna go up 45 from Meridian?

I like convoys.

i want to join in the one from missouri

Yeah Bill, I think that's the route I'm taking. I gotta work days Thursday, so I'll probably leave EARLY in the Friday AM.

I have not quite decided whether I'll leave Thursday or Friday yet. I put in to be off Thursday thru Monday. I am pretty sure I'll be leaving to drive back sometime Sunday Afternoon, try to get back by around midnight. Looks like it is only a 7.5-8 hr drive.

I'm off from 7pm Thursday the 10th until 7am Friday the 25th.:D

Im hoping to leave on Thursday late morning, and staying til Monday morning :)

Hey Palf70step & Krue! I think we're gonna try to go to the board meet too. :bann: We'll be leaving Friday morning...so do you think it would work out where we could all convoy together?
My husband just got through building a nice trailer so we're gonna haul my POS on it up there. Cause I want to show it off, but the motor is old & week and might not be able to make a trip like that. Besides gas is high enough without having to buy a couple quarts of oil at each stop too :lol:

I have not finalized for sure when I am leaving. My plans at the moment are to drive up Thursday, that way I can give Ron and whomever a hand if the need it on Friday. I still think Krue is driving up Friday. I may end up driving Friday too, but not sure as yet. It's still a bit out, heck I have to drive to Pennsylvania and back a couple weeks before that.

Just finalized plans (for now!). Leaving Atlanta, Ga Thursday morning July 10th. Anybody from that area want to cruise up together?

Looks like about 4 to 4 1/2 hr drive 230 miles

wouldnt it be maybe a little less hectic to just cruise down I-55 at around 60-65 MPH down to Cape & cross over the big muddy there ?

Yeah it would but the old river road RT 3 is a beautiful drive. And a leasurely drive 50-60 plus eye up truck parts on the route. Still looking for a fresh S/B @ a reasonable price.

I would like to meet up with you guys from Northern Missouri. Let me know the exact route and i will see where i can meet up with you. BOSS, let me know when you are leaving, we can meet up and then get with the rest of them. I am taking friday before off so the wife and I can leave in the morning... Since this will be the first big trip in the 69, I would feel alot more comfortable with a group, just in case. She's running great outside of needing new tires which will be done in the next couple of weeks.

Thinking about getting the windshield chalk others may want to too. Maybe BIG SANDY, TN or bust? Or 67-72 Chevy TRK meet on rear window to ID those not driving their classic.

I plan on leaving sometime early friday morning and we can figure out exact times as it gets closer also.it would be great to have a few of us drive together.

Man guys... you all are making me jealous! I wish I was able to meet up with all the MO members and cruise down with you.

Just hop in the truck and go! :) Wish you could make it too...

BOSS, I'll PM my cell number so you can give me a call when things get closer and we can arrange all the little details. :)
