[T3] Western invasion route


Hershey Invaders,

Here are my plans for the western invasion route. Anyone not mentioned here who 
would like to meet up with us should contact me quickly so we can make 
rendezvous plans.

Monday, Aug2:

    I-90 travelers would travel to my place arriving that evening.  

    I-80 travelers would travel to Russ Wolfe's place at the same time.  

    I have some space for sleepers that night, and Russ has even more space. Type 3 
    invaders are welcome at either place, but it would be best to let us know 
    first, just so neither of us is overwhelmed, and so you can get specific 
    driving directions.   

    So far, no one has contacted either me or Russ about this, so I have no 
    plans to meet anyone earlier than Thursday morning east of Toledo.

Tuesday, Aug 3:

    We all set out to meet in northern Illinois, somewhere along I-80. La Salle is 
    260 miles/4 hours from Des Moines and 140 miles/2.3 hours from Madison. We meet 
    up at a place TBD and continue on to South Bend, IN (165 miles/2.5 hours) where 
    we spend the night.  

    Drivers from the St. Louis area could meet us near the I-55 interchange. 
    Contact me if you're coming from that direction.

    So far no one has contacted me about meeting this day, so I will be planning to 
    drive straight thru this area.  

Wednesday, Aug 4:

    We get up early and take in the Studebaker museum in South Bend, Indiana that 
    morning and the Auburn, Cord, Dusenburg museum further east in Auburn, Indiana 
    that afternoon.  We'd then continue on to Toledo that evening and spend the 
    night. South Bend to Toledo is ~220 miles/3.5 hours, including side trips to 
    museums, but not including time actually spent IN the museums, which I would 
    estimate at 2-3 hours each.  

Thursday, Aug 5:

    We meet up with the drivers coming down from the Detroit area east of Toledo, 
    OH at 8:00 AM. Gather at the Flying J Truck Stop at the I-80/I-280 Interchange 
    (Exit 1B on I-280 just North of I-80) and continue on to Hershey.  

    It seems likely that could pick up some other listees between Toledo and 
    Hershey. We should be passing thru the Pittsburg area shortly after noon. Those 
    people should contact me or John Jaranson quickly to arrange a meeting place, 
    unless you've already done so. 

    Arrive in Hershey that afternoon.

Friday, Aug 6:

    Second annual Type 3 Invasion officially starts that afternoon/evening.

See everyone on Thursday or Friday!    ;-)
