I believe the Casa Grande meet point was brought up because there is a lot of parking right off of the freeway.
This sounds like a great plan to me.

Since many of us early birds live far south of the valley or in the east... why not set a meeting point say in Casa grande? If you hang a right on the main offramp to the city, there is a super walmart not to far down on the left. We could all meet up there / stop for say 1/2 hour for everyone to arrive and then roll out. Just a thought. That way no one is backtracking all over just to meet before the trip.
I would say a 3:30 - 3:45 meeting... that way people have time to get up and leave around 3am.

yeah, i really have no idea there you guys are talking about. me and nick are gonna meet up out here and roll to the spot for 3am, only problem is that neither of us know where it is. is there anyone else out here in mesa who knows where we are going?
so i guess i need to get swapped from the 6am to the 3am rollcall.

Okay, so I did a little online research and this is what I have for everyone.
Address to Wal-Mart in Casa Grande:
1741 East Florence Blvd
Casa Grande, AZ 85222
(520) 421-1200
Directions:
Take I-10 East to exit 194/AZ-287 to Casa Grande.
Turn right at the exit on to E. Florence Blvd.
The directions say it is 1.4 miles off of the freeway.
Does anyone have any objections to this meeting point or do we want to meet somewhere else? I believe another reason to meet at the Wal-Mart was so people can get any last minute supplies for the trip. I am okay with anywhere south of I-10 and Elliott to meet-up.

Here are directions to the 24/hr Walmart...I believe this is the meeting place.
Head south toward Tucson on the 10...
Take the AZ-287 exit (EXIT 194) toward CASA GRANDE. 0.25 miles
Turn RIGHT onto E FLORENCE BLVD/AZ-287. 1.45 miles
Look for the Scions

I know sometimes people no matter how hard they plan to pack everything they need, always end up thinking of something else after they left so wal-mart is a good spot to meet up i think.
