I want to go, but dont wqant to drive down by myself.
Anyone interested in going? When do you want to head down?
I would be into GOING FRIDAY AFTERNOON, i'D HAVE TO SOMHOW GET THE DAY OFF...grr f-ing caps

Otherwise, I'm more then willing to head down early am on saturday and head out mid afternoon sunday.


Post up on your thoughts. I really want to do this. A big group would be allot more fun than a small one. Lets make it happen. Post up and commit.

just dropped in to see how many more are heading out for the Ames meet...

everyone from chicago is staying at the Super 8 in Ankeny.. it's between Ames and Des Moines. they still have lots of rooms open too. - just a heads up so if there's only a few of you comin down you'll know where to find a few friendly faces.

see you all in May. =)

I definitely would like to go. It really sucks not having a Scion now. Would you all be ok with an SI joining you? Or a Camaro, that is what my bf is getting and he might want to take that....How much are the hotels? That would be the big thing on if i could afford to go or not.

just to let everybody know the guy in ames said that all the hotels in ames are booked up

If I remember correctly, that is the same weekend as Iowa State University's graduation ceremony in Ames. That is why the hotels are probably booked. However, there should be plenty of hotels open in Ankeny or Des Moines. It is a 30-45min drive from Des Moines to Ames.

The show is actually in Ames, less than 30 minutes, but this hotel is supposed to be near the club where everyone is going afterwards.

It's also where everyone from Oklahoma, and I believe KC, is staying.

I'm officially going. I'm laning towards leaving work early on Friday, say 1ish.
But if the group cant head down until saturday early am, then I'll wait until saturday to drive down.

When I told Kristin im going, it was nag fest and ended in "click" on the phone. :blah:

06_jdm what time are you thinking of going on the 5th let me know so that way we can roll down as a group
I'm gonna do a half day at work that friday. I am leaning towards being clocked out at noon.

I think we should meet at somwhere around 35 and 494. Would be the easiest. Then we dont have to worry about keepin everyone together while goin through spaghetti junction. I also want to pick up some walkie talkies like we did at the last duluth cruise. That way if somone needs gas, or is having a problem we can communicate. Plus its more fun and makes the ride go quicker.

Any of you guys have rader detectors? I dont, but I'm not worried about it. It would just be nice out on the open road.

Look at the first pic. What's so funny is they were smiling and lookin at me like "what is she doin?"

Fun road trips. That was in a caravan with several Scions from Tulsa or OKC to Dallas -- something like that.

Take walkie talkies on your road trip -- it is the best entertainment when you are caravaning.

Chad, have her tell them she is going down to Iowa for a wedding, or a funeral....whichever is more believable. Legally they have to let her go for a funeral...especially a close relative.

So just have her spring it on the bossman that tuesday. Tell him you guys have to drive down there and the wake starts at 5pm. That way you wont get caught in traffic. :)

I did this at crappy old jobs all the time. But now I cant pull this one anymore :(
