WHEN: JUNE 28 2008

IT'S THAT TIME! The trip is less than 5 days away and I wanted to start getting all the details sorted out as soon as possible.

Here's the map with directions and stops plotted out:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...25363&t=h&z=16


A) First, you guys at the cities pick a meeting spot to regroup and head on over to Duluth (best if early -9am?).

B) Second, We meet with the other Z/G's at location B (which over looks lake superior) and talk about the rest of the day and gauge what we're gonna do based on what people are feeling.

C) We drive into Canal Park. This is the downtown area of Duluth and the hot-spot for the city. Plenty of hotels, restaurants, bars and shoreline to go around. We can Park here and eat, hang out and do whatever.. play it as we go.

D) We leave Canal Park and take the scenic route up to two harbors (40 min. drive up the shore). We park by the light house, take pics and decide on weather or not we want to keep going onto destination "E".

E) Drive along the water to Grand Marais and enjoy the scenery. I've never been there but I can't stop hearing enough about it. Just picture cliffs, water and oversized light houses lol.

At any rate, Thats the gameplan!

Please use this thread to voice any concerns, talk about where you wanna eat or ask me any questions.

The most popular question so far seems to be the "Should I sleep overnight" question... I think that if you can sleep over night or share a room with someone -DO IT! In addition, If you have an inflatable mattress you can crash at my place. It's gonna be a fun trip and well worth the stay if you can manage it.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

1. Alex (dzine07)

Im down! Where i will stay is uncertain, but most likly my aunts, or split a room with steve and nic.

Are we going to meet up some place else on sunday morning for the drive home?

 

Sure, we can meet up for coffee or breakfast at hells kitchen or carribou in Canal Park.. we can figure that out Saturday depending on what you guys wanna do.


Another thing i wanna note is that whoever is thinking about staying the night -I get discounts on certain hotels in the area so PM me if you intrested.

Janik, I think If you guys share a room that would be ideal. a suite between the three of you would be awesome and affordable.

 

Alex, you've got PM!

 

lol how am i going to explain this trip with my mom. Maybe i will bring a friend lol

 

kool im ready for this trip,but the staying the night maybe not.. would really love to stay but wife wont let me....... so sorry bro. but will try to talk to the wife again and hopfully she change her mind........

 

Its gonna be a long day for you my friend

and im going to get fired for hacking onto this computer and doing this during work

 

LMAO on the computer at the office max FTW!

 

10 days yikes!! Lookin pretty grim on gettin the wheels by then....f word

 

ROFL yep!

and ****, no rims :*(

 

Looks like I'm a go too. Let's just hope my tires last the trip Not sure yet on If I'm staying overnight yet or not.

 

ya thats good to heard.........

 

Peng, if you decide to stay, you can split a room with Nic and I for sure, maybe steve. We are gonna get a suite and split the cost=really cheap to stay the night.

 

peng, better not back out

 

I'm good to go. Have you convinced your wife that you need to stay the night yet? Just let her know that it would be much safer for you to stay the night and get some rest then to be driving for like 10 hours in one day.
