Day 1 - Phoenix to Tucumcari, NM (approx 9.5 hours)
Day 2 - Tucumcari to Wichita, KS (approx 8.0 hours)
Day 3 - Wichita to Normal, IL (approx 10 hours)
Day 4 - Normal to Norwalk via Chicago (approx 8.0 hours)

Of course, this is still tentative, but since I'm the only doing any planning at this stage, I think this is a good way to go. :thumbsup

Just thought I'd share...

are you going through indy on that route? just checkin.

35.5 hours! argh! x(

This won't go through Indy, sorry. Besides, I saw in the annoucements forum that Indy sucks. :P

where is the closest to indy you will be getting?

shoot me.

Off the top of my head here, I believe we take the 55 out of St Louis, heading NE towards Chicago. Get a map and draw a line from St Louis to Chicago, going through Normal, and you should be close.

:shrug

so basically, if i go up to chicago, i will meet up with you guys. i have to go that way anyways, so that probly wont be a big deal.

thats sweet ur AZ2GNT is going to Chi-town. I'll be there meeting bullox and mitsuman297. I get excited when I visit the SO threads.

hey andrew if needed you can head STRAIGHT up 31 and meet up with me and aaron waiting on AZ2GNT and Chicago to pass 80/90..

my car will sound like, bumbabumbubavrooooooooooooooomrooooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhh, kishhhhhh

VW= The joy of driving
DSM= The frustration of fixing

if the AZ crew does go through chicago, are you going to meet them or the chicago guys. the AZ plan for now is to be going through there on thursday morning early afternoon. i have a room reserved for thur-sun night.

well kinda of depends, i would like for everyone to be together but i know the AZ guys really wanna get there early. If you want to go with the AZ guys, brian,chris all them let me know and i will adjust my schedule. If not i am up for meeting up with Chicago, im not to picky..

yea, i planned on going whenever the AZ guys do. i already have my room reserved so i dont have much a choice now. :-) come hang out with us early, it will be fun just to tool around for a few days before we HAVE to do anything. it will be like a mini vacation.

I could barely drive 18 hours to Kansas! WTF 35 hours...I hope I survive. My butt will be numb! That's for daayyyum sure! :7

Man. I haven't checked this thread in a while. You guys kick ass. I come in here and think the thread's been jacked and here I find all you guys trying to make your plans around what AZ does. That's awesome. That's really fuckin awesome. :thumbsup

My plan thus far is to get into Norwalk Thurday sometime - correct. I've got some naysaying starting to settle in already here guys, but this is my number one priority of the year. I'm kinda considering a marathon straight through to Chicago to save a day or so of driving. We'll see, but the end result is the same: arriving in Norwalk on Thursday. So whether it takes us 1 day or 2 days to get to Chicago, we should be there by Thursday AM. :P
