THIS IS A MEET, BEING ORGANIZED ON HONDA-TECH, I AM POSTING IT HERE, TO GAUGE INTEREST AND HOPEFULLY GET SOME MORE OF US VADRIVEN MEMBERS TO JOIN - SO FAR THERE ARE ABOUT 350 PEOPLE (AND THEIR FRIENDS) GOING, WE ARE EXPECTING THOUSANDS.


MAIN THREAD FOR THE MEET

Alright folks, here's the layout for the Journey, if you would like to participate/join in, please let me know by posting here. I'll keep a tab of how many people are showing at each checkpoint, so as not to lose anyone. Also, I'd like anyone who has any ideas on checkpoint locations, to PLEASE CHIME IN. I do not know the entire trip 100%, so it's not as if I know all the available park & rides, or decent places to pick up travelers.

Checkpoint #3: I-81 South - Morristown, TN Rest Area
- Arrival Time: 03:00 PM
- Departure Time: 03:45 PM

This is the only rest area I found near the Knoxville, TN area. This should be a good place to stop to let everyone else catch up. This will be the final checkpoint before getting to Nashville, TN. This rest area is right before we get on I-40 West.

PLEASE NOTE: I know that this looks like a little bit rough, but with this long of a journey, I think it's fairly accurate. I also know that not everyone will be able to pit stop at the same mileage, so feel free to drop off when necessary. I set it with 3 checkpoints for a reason. It gives a chance for those with more thirsty engines, a chance to catch breath and keep up. Once again, please throw ideas that are worth noting, at me. I'm up for suggestion.

I'm leaving early Friday morning if you want to tag along. I'm leaving out of Newport news. I don't drive a Honda, so I'm not sure if you were just trying to roll with Honda people or not.
