i think a bunch of people are leaving friday morning. so itd be pretty sweet if we could caravan up 10am firestone? does that work for everyone?' plan on being there by 3pm so it leaves us a couple of hours to race in the light
Wait, so now we have a group leaving Friday at 3pm and 6pm? Why would anyone leave Friday morning? If you can leave Friday morning, why not just leave Thursday night?
Friday morning works nicely for me because I will have a lot of work to get done on thursday, and also, I'd rather drive up when its light out. I'm not a fan of long stretches of highways packed with deer, especially when my eyes are getting tired.
^wuss. j/k. there are alot of deer up there. i know IF someone hit one last year it would have been a huge mess. 2 car lenghts my !@#
I might make it. I know that I have a hockey game thursday night that I HAVE to be there for. I was planning on leaving friday morning anyways, but I will definitly not be in a group that is going to haul ass. I am driving my truck, so anything after 75 and I might as well pour the gas in the intake with a 5 gallon bucket. Russ
i dont know anything about a 3pm and 6pm crew.. one reason i wana leave friday morning though is to save 25 $ on something i wont be missing out on..also the whole driving in day light is nice
cause soem people work thursday and dont friday so if you can leave in the morning friday WHY wait till 3pm or 6pm just to caravan up with some other guys who may or may not speed...??? we leave at 10am.. be up there before you guys even leave, then we get a few hours of ripping up the course in daylight hours before the rest of you drunkin buffoons start ripping it up.. cause thats when I want to be off the ice and watching and laughing my arse off... and as I stated in the original FRIDAY crew posting... FS may not be the best as it is a business and taking up their parking spots just aint nice when they are nice enough to let us use it after hours... so lets either do the asian place across the street... or find a spot North of the cities that we can all meet at and make the journey.... at 10AM ha hah a h
My wife and I are in for the friday morning departure. Keep me posted on the plans. Nathan, we could meet somewhere down here and then go meet the rest of the crew from here.
K, time is getting close. Where do we want to meet up?? I was thinking something like Forest lake or so. That way people everyone will be through the cities and all heading north. For me to meet at firestone I will have to drive back into the cities to meet everyone, and I am sure I am not the only one coming from the north side. There are also food places and a couple of gas stations for everyone to top off at before we hit the road. Ideas, comments, suggestions?? Russ
I agree. I should be able to meet up Friday morn. Gotta callin sick:biggrin: But N of the cities would be ideal. Is everyone planning on taking 65 the whole way up to Hibbing or 169? I think 65 would be a bit better, but thats just me.
all the way to Duluth???? cause I was just in Gilbert last few days.. and I took 35 till the split?!?!?!
no not all the way to Duluth, take 35 until Cloquet, then its hwy 33 until you hit hwy53 then go north
Yeah, that does look fastest. I'm used to heading up there from St. Cloud. So I always was further west.
Ill be ready in the AM. Damn I cant wait to take a day off to drive my car north and get drunk and do all sorts of crazy things. Sounds like a good morning crew. Make sure everyone remembers their radios, ill actualy remember for once and bring a spare. the forcasts are all changing to lower temps since the snow is down and maybe snow on our drive up! happy 07
Planning on joining the am drive myself!! Yes Nathan.......you win, I'm going!!!!!!! WOOT-WOOT!!:rockwoot:
ok.. so looks like we have about 10 cars to caravan.. FMFTW!!! ha ha ha ok.. so where exactly are we gonna meet... Hey Russ.. what's your suggestion for a good place to meet... good parking space..... lets get this nailed down seeing as it is in 3 days... also I will bring normal walkie talkie radios if I remember....
well typically when we go up north the metro guys meet at the china lot/firestone, then stop in forrest lake to pick up the north metro guys. we might as well just plan on sticking with what we normally do because it has worked well in the past.
well I aint swinging all the way into Uni Ave when i can stay on 35W to meet up with everyone... so whoever wants to do that can... me, Bill and whomever comes from this side of the cities will probably be easier to just go straight to WHATEVER the meeting place in FORREST LAKE is.... by 10am...
The Mermaid on county road 10!! Right off 35w for all us south/western suburb boys....and girls!? I'm down to meet wherever though! Probably about 20-30 minutes to Forest Lake from there!!
wrxboy2003 and I are going to be meeting at the SA/Mcdonalds on 169 and anderson lakes parkway at 9ish to caravan from there, all are welcome. I say since friday is a business day we all just meet at the target in forest lake at 10, they have a big parking lot and we can park away from the entrance to accomodate the group.
eggggscrackly what I was gonna post previously but couldnt remember if that Target was teh Forrest Lake one....
I'll see you and Bill up in Forest Lake then! Unless you can DC me when you get to like Rockford Road or so and I could get on 694 and chase you down!..hahaha
So you guys are leaving from the 169/anderson lake at 9 or gathering at 9? I was gonna walk my daughter to school for the first time in a while which ill prob be done by 8:45. I'll get in the car and head there asap after, which its about a 5 min drive since im in bloomington so I should make it there ok.
Yep Southside boys.. Anderson lakes we will leave like 9:15am latest to make the Target @ Forrest Lake meeting point... Chuanpreza you should be ok.. we can wait for ya... Josh... why not swing down to 494ish area or a little further to the Anderson Lakes meeting point??? if too far we can meet you at the Forrest Lakes point
If josh is tangled, then meet us at 9 would be a lot of back tracking for him. I think we should take 100 up to 694 since there would be less traffic then trying to deal with 35 through mpls. I would think we could call him at some point and if he catches us great, if not we see him at target in fl.
i might be running a little bit late becuase i HAVE TO wait to cash my paycheck which should be in around 930. can we have a leaving time of 1030 from forrest lake just so everyone can get there?
Bill and I are on the same page! +1 on 100 being quicker! Call me when you pass Hwy. 81 and I'll be catching you on 694. I also know where Target is, but I heard Nathan drives like my grandmother...So I should be able to catch up!! hahaha
