We have about a week to go… I finally have all the hook up points set. There will be 2 in MA, and 1 in CT. SLKRoy will be the contact person for the CT group, if anyone needs his email address or cell phone, please contact me, my email is Northeastamg at yahoo dot com.

Directions to each check point(Must enter your starting point)…

Massachusetts folks…

1st meeting spot 10am
Newton McDonalds rest stop on 128/95 south. This stop is right after the masspike exits.

This group will be leaving by 10:30, I am leading this group and I will have the grills as well as chicken and steak tips and many of the cooking utensils. Let me know if your coming in this group.
Directions to this checkpoint

2nd meeting spot 11am
Middleboro Burger King(I think) 24 south(between 495N/S on ramps)

As the first group arrives this group should be getting ready to jet. This group will have folks from RI, southern MA, and some folks from CT. I would urge folks who are coming up on Friday for the meet to come to this checkpoint, for the fun of the caravan. It in itself is a good time. Hopefully there are some extra radios for use, they are an absolute necessity when coming to a GTG
Directions to this checkpoint

All points Souh or West of RI(NY, NJ, CT, etc etc.)
Milford, CT McDonalds rest stop 10:45a and head out by 11:30…
This is just after exit 40 on 95 North

With some rough estimates this is a little over 100 miles from Ft. Adams in RI. I would bet it takes maybe around an hour and a half to get there… barring any major traffic. Please contact me, and I will put you through to the person in charge… SLKRoy for those of you who know him on the forums…
Directions to this Checkpoint

Fort Adams(the meeting place)This is the final stop for the day. I estimate both groups to arrive around similar times… between 12:30 and 1pm. If you believe that Caravanning might just not be for you, then by all means please come and meet us here.
Directions to Ft. Adams

I have not heard who will be meeting at the rest area in Milford CT off 95. Leave a message here or send me a PM so I know who to expect. Hate to leave someone behind.

For the walkies, I wont bring my 8 of them coz they wont be compatible with FRS walkie talkies....I'll just bring my own, I can have my radio be tuned to transmit and receive on any standard frequencies...just let me know which channel you guys are planning to use and I'll look up the frequency number =)

I might bring a E46 M3 member...still trying to pursuade him...

Hey guys, saw your link on the Lotus forums, I plan on stopping by the get together, I have an '02 Audi A4, but plan on buying an Elise in the fall.

I am local to Newport (about 10min from FT Adams), if there is anything I can do for you on this end let me know.

...just an FYI on my status -- tentative and not look'n good.

Dunno if the car will be outta the shop before next week. Can't drive the 560SL like I'd joked because it's gotten more and more unreliable & @ the moment is likely to leave me/us stranded @ the side of the road in its current state. Has already done it though started back up (so far, those times).
