    I had thought about that and was waffling about it. You're making too much sense so I grabbed a room in Elizabethtown, KY for Thu night. Now just need to convince my better half to leave work at a decent hour so we can leave right after the ATL rush hour dies down. Don't know about that getting up early thing LOL.

    Glad to hear that you are doing that. Now you won't be wiped out Friday night. Wife is looking forward to meeting you.

    I'll be there Friday and Saturday with the better half. I can't get thru the whole thing in 1 day :biggrin_25524: Some years not in 2 days ! We usually leave 2 am Friday morning, gp to the show all day than collapse in our motel. We're usually to tired to care where we sleep.I located a cheap place years ago,and we stay there almost every year.
     
    SHC and BigBadBill Thank this.

    I saw a bunch of trailer queens and "Obsolete Cadillac" heading down that way. I can only assume all that chrome and the old Marmon should be there some time tomorrow since it was in wisconsin/illinois heading towards I64 and 90 through Indiana down towards I75.
     
    BigBadBill Thanks this.

    I hope everyone participates in the fmsca listening session there?
    They want everyone to have eobr mandated in the senate version of the highway bill 2012. There's lots of bad things in this for everyone.
    If enacted drivers will learn what the driver sms has been collected for.
    In the PDF version it starts at page 1114 to about 1261
    lots of hidden cost and fees for everyone.

    Too busy getting the garden in this time of year. I wish they'd hold it during summer.
    I only live in middle TN so it it ain't no big drive.

    Have fun SHC, my plans were cancelled when my grandfather passed away this week. I guess there's always GATS, if I haven't bought a trailer by then.
