Bill Burke would know what airport is nearby as he picks Ann up there sometimes .

5 days and counting til we leave

Leaving Wednesday morning at 10am. Hoping to make it into Hotel parking lot around 8pm. It seemed like time was dragging until last week, now time is just flying by and I hope I remember everything that I need/want to take.

We will have the Van with trailer and my little Toyota Yaris. I hope nobody holds it against me that I am taking the Toyota, but with the Van and Trailer getting about 10mpg, I figured I should make up for some of that with my Toyota which gets about 40mpg. Gas is going to be a HUGE cost on this trip. But I know it is going to be worth it.

Hey don't feel bad about the Toyota, my tow vehicle is a :eek: FORD :eek: Excursion Diesel. Unhitched it gets 20 MPG, towing it will get 12.

We considered taking our full size Astro. But it only gets about 22 on the highway, so gas would be twice as much.

Astro was the name of the Jetsons dog.:p

I think Grandsport has dogs on the brain.

I think grandsport is trying to change the subject cause he really wants to go to CB11.

We have been watching the weather and from where we are it is telling us the temps are supposed to be in the high 90's and possible thunderstorms til Sunday. Come on Mother Nature....

Again,what is the nearest major airport?

BNA...Nashville.
About 20 minutes (if no traffic) from the show field. I'll be there late Friday afternoon picking up my wife.
Need a ride Gary??

You coming ? We sure hope so.

Delta flys into Nashville from PIT...change of planes req'd in either CVG (Cinci) , DTW (Detroit), or MEM (Memphis).
All flights are in smaller RJ's (regional jets)...just a FYI in case you're not too good a flyer. :p
I suppose US scare and maybe SW also covers that route...

I guess not. :confused:

Maybe.I'm really torn about what to do.

Well, tear yourself away....and come and see us ! lol

It only took 10 1/2 hours and blistering heat. But we made it. If anyone is planning on taking I-75 south to I-71, be prepared for a HUGE back-up. We ultimately left the line for 71 and continued south on 75, only to find huge amounts of cars with "BONARRO" on them, apparently another gathering going on in Tennessee. Then lots of construction on and off. And lots, and lots of backups. I am extremely tired and will hopefully post more, and maybe pics tomorrow. Let's all pray that the weather cooperates and doesn't rain. It is supposed to be in the mid 90's for the whole weekend.

Bonaroo is a GIANT granola barefoot hippie/hipster music-fest that takes place on some farm in BFE.

plus the country music festival in Nashville, makes traffic a nightmare
