12/10 chances it's not even a photoshop and that's how Chris looks for real these days.

Ok, everyone here?
Google says it's 3 hours for me to get to indy-area, so in the real world that's about 4 hours. If a Celica drives south east at 70 miles an hour for 4 hours how far can a chicken jump rope in Delaware? I should hit Indy around 9AM-ish easily, I might be a little early. Indy seems like a good area to coalesce the Chicago area people and continue on down together-ish. I know jack **** about the Indy area except that there's a 50/50 chance that I miss my turn for the bypass and drive right through the city. So Annette, where we meet is up to you since you know the area. I was thinking somewhere just outside on the south east side around the 465/74 interchange but google is literally showing me that's just churches, a liquor store, and a strip club so maybe we should pick somewhere else to group up because I'm not too keen on loitering around any of those places. -------------------- |

It'd be amusing if the churches are right next to the liquor store and strip club.

No offense to any bible belters but... I imagine that's kind of how it works round them parts. Usually some dens of sin right round the corner from the churches, I image they keep each other in business.

I'm really excited for this trip and I look forward to hanging out with everyone.

I'm in the bible belt and no offense, but I have no use for established religions of any denomination. Though I'm ok with the ones that aren't killing people in the name of god and/or forcing their beliefs onto others. Jewish people are ok, they brought the world latke and bagels. Oh and kosher wine.

Why in the world am I the one picking lunch in Cincy? LOL I'll look into it. But will people just want to drive-thru or get out and stretch their legs?

Because Annette picked the Indy meeting spot, I picked dinner, which makes it your turn for lunch.
I'm probably not in the minority of us that don't eat in their car or while driving so I dunno fast food is fine if it's dine in. Even just pick an exit area with some places to eat and a gas station. Or we can just eat at whatever is by the gas station when we stop for gas.

Haha! I got it the other day and you have the choice of them cooking the patty in their microwave or on the broiler with the beef. I chose microwave, as it's the "pure vegan" way to do it. It was alright, as it didn't have the charred grill texture or flavor. If I was to get it again, I would just get it on the broiler. It's not like they cook it in a pan with grease just pooled up - it's on a broiler conveyor belt. -------------------- 2000 GT-S 6 SPD... SOLD! |

Guess I should check in more often,,, completely missed this.
I was there last year on my bike. Would love to take the Celica to that area. I found the Blue Ridge Parkway to be the nicer ride though. Take it if you can over towards Maggie Valley. |
