I must be coming from the opposite direction then you when I go to the casino, because every time I drive down the boulevard all the garages are on the right. But I know which one is the Sky garage so I'll be able to find it.

I’m tentative right now. I originally was planning to be in Boston, but if I get this bad boy on Friday like I hope, I’ll be home for the weekend and able to attend.
I just want to make sure we all meet in the correct garage. I'm pretty sure its called the Sky garage....but if I'm wrong then its definitely the garage that has the top level open to the sky. The top level is called Level 5. You have to ge down a small hill with rumble strips and start at level 1. Drive all the way up the garage on the left to the top level- level 5. You will have to take a right at the top. if you take a left at the top of the garage thats the exit.
Once you get to the top of the garage....drive straight to the back. Furthest away from that exit on the left.

i hope thats not too confusing.

Here's another thing to look for: When you guys start driving into the garage, look up. I will be at the top level around noon waiving my arms like an insane monkey! This way you know you have entered the correct garage. If I'm not at the top waiving my arms then it isn't noon yet or its noon and the wrong garage!LOL

ok heres the deal on the rest stop: it is busy and full of cars 24/7 but there is one area that is usually quiet: drive past the mcdonalds until you get close to the mobil pumps, take a right so you're next to the mcdonalds drive through and near the 18 wheelers that will be parked there. you can always find some parking back there without many other cars around. that is where i will be. PM me if you want my cell phone number just incase you can't find me.
and don't stay out at the club until 4am, go to a bar or something but make sure u get to sleep by 1 or 2 or else you will oversleep sunday morning and miss it guaranteed. and you don't want to do that now do you!

side note for increased safety and fun factor... IF you guys have 2 way radios BRING THEM, feel free to communicate with each other in your vehicles. It adds a whole new dimension to the driving.

The group from the north has quite a few that bring them and it makes life significantly easier when driving and you dont know everyones number
