It is not too early to start thinking about travel to Bowling Green for the NCH event. Other than Kevin and Dave, are there any coming from Chicago area or north? Quinn?

Previously several of the Midwest group met in Mattoon, then hooked up with several coming from the west in Mt Vernon, IL. Thoughts?

When are people leaving? I believe the ones that are golfing are going earlier. I think Kevin and I plan on getting there on Wednesday. I have to check with my people.

I know that Devin and I are heading down there on Thursday. We can meet up with you, Bob, in Mattoon. If anyone is coming from north (or NW) like Quinn or Dr Phil - can can travel down through IL together.

Keep me posted.

OK, Those coming from the southeast (God's Country) if interested in traveling via XLR convoy I start from Orlando and will likely blaze through Atlanta, Chattanooga and then Nashville toward Kentucky. Anyone interested in falling into the stream is welcome.
Let me know and we'll try to coordinate it.....

In past trips we met up with Orlando and surrounding area people at a McDonalds just before they all entered Rt. 75. It's a very convenient place to meet. So, if you or any others would like to meet there please feel free to join up.

AirMike are you going to pass thru St Louis on your way? I currently plan to meet up with the MMs in Mt Vernon and caravan down with them. They are early risers, so I expect to meet them in Mt Vernon around 10 or 11AM on Thursday. Would be nice to have you join us.

Giz,
It would probably be about 1:30 when we are in Mt Vernon. Those from up north (Chicago area) meet up with me in Mattoon, we have lunch, then head that way.
