2012 Northeast Caravan

I will have to consult with my group to see what route everyone wants to take this year.

In previous years, we have met up with other groups where 70 meets 81 near Hagerstown. However, we could do the Stephens City VA meet spot.

Oh, copy that. I didn't figure you'd be meeting us that far up. I've honestly only been to DE by boat (thanks for all the gas and cigs guys!). I figured being that far east you'd angle over more.

Bawbers is gonna be coming down 70 as well. I believe Mikey comes in off 66, 'cause he was the one saying maybe we could meet farther down (Stephens City is 7 miles north of 66).

I know there's a gas station with a dunkin' donuts at the Stephens City exit, and that scores it points, but... it's not like donut shops or gas stations are rare if you have a suggestion.

Just let me know where the meet up stops will be and approximately when, and hopefully I'll figure out a way to link up with you guys. Sucks living in the northern corner of MD - no quick & easy way to go due west & link up with I-81. The DE folks have the same problem. It's either head south on I-95 and deal with traffic getting thru B-more, or hit the road early enough to avoid it. Another option I've been looking at is navigating a back roads course that would link up with I-81 somewhere near the PA/MD border. Adds extra miles to the trip and in the wrong direction, but it might be more fun than slugging thru B-more beltway traffic.

Yea I'll be coming off 66. The next place with gas close to the exit seems to be Woodstock/Calvary exit 283. All in all it doesn't really matter to me. A 14 mi detour is no big deal. I also have 2 radios I'll be bringing.
