Really need someone with a passenger to do the drive-by "hang out the window" low angle shot.

I might be down for that. Bought 3 6-packs of different beers yesterday, but I wanted to try some more beers that I can't find up here.

The only thing that would be considered 'bad' with a large caravan is finally pulling into FVR and finding parking at the registration office. I remember that the first time.

If you have folks sharing your cabin, just send them there ahead of time or they can stop by the rec hall and complete the registration. If you call FVR, they will tell you which cabin you are going to get.

BTW: The Michigan Folk are in 512. Please feel free to stop by and drink with us!!

We're headed down from the North on I-75 towards Knoxville. If you're in North Carolina, you're almost there already!

Check out www.ZdayZ.com for registration info. There's a link to the Fontana Village Resort for lodging. Otherwise, check the Upcoming Events section with subfolder ZdayZ2010. There is a thread where folks post up if they have room available in their cabins.

It's a fantastic time and a great opportunity to meet new friends. Hope to see you there!

Phreak, we'll be in cabin 952. I stayed in 507 for 2 years in a row. That was one of the party cabins. But I'll never turn down an invite to party!

Where in Lex is the meet-up? Thanx!

Pulp listed it earlier. It's a Chik-Fil-A off the interstate.

Thumbs up

Oye! What a day!!! I still have things to do tonight!!

FOR MICHIGAN CARAVAN:

Start location is below at 5:45 am. Leave by 6am at the latest.

MOBIL TRAVEL PLAZA
41358 ECORSE RD
BELLEVILLE,MI 48111


The road at this station is very bumpy and full of potholes. Take care!



We need to be in Lexington, KY between 11:00 am and 11:30 am. This means we will run between 75 and 80 except where there are typically cops. Anyone running a radar detector? I never do since I drive a cop magnet anyway. I may pack some doughnuts just in case I get pulled over.

(I will also post this in the North Central Caravan thread.)

Check over your car early. Tire pressure, oil, gas, music for the trip. Don't forget sunscreen!! Sunburns are typical at higher elevations.

Thanks, were a few challenges...meeting place was not ideal for staging...and the route presented challenges. I think next year we need to agree on grocery stop before we enter the mountains.

Hopefully you've got some decent footage.
