Im already registered for the weekend, but when you get there, you have to register with them anyway. Probably goes a little smoother if you are 'pre-registered'.. but everyone needs to stop at the gate anyway.

I'm sure some of the other guys who have gone more can answer this question better for you. Last year was my first year

Ok, maybe the pre registering thing would save alot of confusion, does it cost anything to register?

When I registerd a few months ago, it was $40. I think it might have went up after a certain date. BUT, I believe it is still cheaper than paying admission each day. You could check out the site and see if you can still pre-register. There's 3 weeks left, they probably still have time to send your card to you.

Check it out and let me know if you need any help.

Its $40, the money is no problem, I jus dont have a credit card lol

Stay tunned for details. I will have something nailed down by the end of the week.

Tammy - thanks for keeping an eye on this for me.

[RUSH2112]

Don's first post says 9-10 at the MIDWAY rest stop on the Turnpike, just outside Bedford.

Tammy, is there where we met last year?

[no1fordgirl]

You're welcome, Don!

And yes, I believe Midway is the rest stop we all met at. If there's a way to double check, please do ;)

(I read over last year's cruise thread and got that info)

[RUSH2112]

Ok, here is some more info. I have the meeting place, but not the time yet.

My plans fell through so I don't have to be in Carlisle at any specific time, but I am waiting to hear from another person that might be leaving a little later in the morning/afternoon.

So, for now here is what I have:

Anyone interested in cruising from Pittsburgh area (monroeville TPK exit) we will cruise 90 miles till we reach the MIDWAY SERVICE PLAZA (mile marker 147.3 which is 1 mile past the Bedford exit) and pull off and meetup with Tammy and whoever else. We'll take a short break and wait for any late runners

From there we head back onto the PA TPK and travel the final 80 miles to the Carlisle exit (#226) and will proceed to the farigrounds to get our registration out of the way.

I will setup a departure time (or at least an arrival time to be at the Midway Plaza) as soon as I find out, but inital ideas will be around 12:30 or 1 for the Pittsburgh area and pulling into the Midway plaza around 2 or 2:30

Stay tuned for an exact time

That sucks. That is exactly why we plan the hotel like 6 months in advance. Good luck in whatever you decide.

Yep, we start planning in January because by March the hotels are pretty much booked up.

I'm already planning on going next year

[RUSH2112]

Time is now somewhat official.

Anyone who wants to cruise from da burgh, I am leaving at 12pm noon.
We'll pickup a cobra just past the new stanton exit and roll to the Midway restop (should arrive at the restop around 2PM).

There we will take a short breather and proceed to our final destination.

So here are the checkpoints.

Downtown PGH/Monroeville Area - 12PM
Midway Service Plaza - 2PM

[RUSH2112]

If anyone else is interested in joining this cruise, send me a PM with your info and when/where you wanna meetup.

I will be coming from the Airport area going past robinson, carnegie and thru the tunnels towards monroevile.

I'll be leaving around 10:30-11:00am if anyone wants to meet me along the way.

[loutheplumbr]
