Now that we're getting an idea of how many to expect, we need to know when you'll be getting there. Once we figure that out, we can start planning for Saturday. Just PM me and I'll update the post. I'm thinking we can kick things off around 11 am on Satruday.

Attn. DINGALING We need to know where we're gonna meet up on Saturday! DIRECTIONS? Put up a post bud.

Arrival times (approximate)

Shady R - 12:30 am Saturday (as in late night Friday)
goinloco1 - 12:30 am Saturday (same as above)
_Celldweller - 12:30 am Saturday (me too)
Dingaling - Already there!
RS-wagon - Friday afternoon (not sure when really)
WD 40 and ??? - 7:00 pm Friday
Focus_ryter - between 8 and 9 pm Friday

Depends on when I leave. I will be arriving sometime after noon on Friday.

Tim

Well we will be leaving the Springs at 2:00pm. So we should be up there around 8:00pm or 9:00pm. Just in time to drink some beers!

Chad

7:00PM on Friday night for us.
Yep! That's about "beer-thirty" for me![cheers]

We may also be picking up a Red '03 SVT ZX5 in Sheridan, WY to convoy with us.[:D]
I met him there when we were on our trip a couple weeks ago.
We both noticed the other's SVTF driving around, pulled a couple u-turns, and we caught up with each other.
Nice guy, and a nice car.
Hope he and his family can make it!

What day Focus_ryter?

lol.. sorry Friday. you cant read my mind? lol j/k

Just as the original post says, I am already here...but wee need to get some meeting times together for both Friday and Saturday. Anybody who wants my phone number just PM me and I will give it to you so we can meet up. I think the Sam's Club parking lot is probably the easiest to find and the most recognizable. If you are on Interstate 90 just take the Lacrosse street exit South and you will see it on the left side about a mile down the road. I will probably show up there as soon as teh first person notifies me they are in town. I may already be there with some friends. We like to go there and race our RC trucks[thumb] If anybody has one, bring it along.

Just so you guys who say you are showing up at 1230 am saturday, 12am is midnight and 12pm is noon. So are you gonna be here Friday night/Saturday morning around midnight30, or around noon30 on Saturday?

Sam's would be cool. Looks like the cash flow isn't there so We will be staying with friends. but I will be there. What time sat morning??? 9 ish the convoy to canyon lake or???

Hey, Dingaling which way do you think would be best to Canyon Lake. Down main St. to jackson or Omaha( are they still working on Omaha from east blvd to 8th) to Mtn view to Jackson.

Thim

Its hard to say about the construction...right now there is none at all. The normally stop all construction during the rally. All Streets are open as of now, but who knows what it will be like next week. I think the easiest way to get to Canyon Lake would be to head south down Lacrosse from Sams Club, hang a right on East Noth then another right on Omaha. Follow that until you get to Mt View then make a left. Then Canyon Lake Drive is on the right. Follow that to the end and it runs right into Canyon Lake. I think the best thing to do would be for everybody to meet back up at Sams on Sat morning sometime and then we can caravan to Canyon Lake. I can lead the way since I know it already. I would like to do some cruising Friday night when the first group gets in then meet back up at Sams again around midnight to meet the second group. Since it looks like everybody will be here by then, I dont think we should make a meeting time for Saturday morning until Friday night. This way we have a better idea how tired people will be. If we end up staying out until 2 or 3 people may not want to get up to meet at 9am. I think we should wait until Friday to see what time looks good for Saturday.

go south until you see Sam's on your left.

Thats the easy part. If you want to meet us at Canyon Lake then just follow the incomplete map.

I will be at Sams about 7pm Friday night waiting for the first group, then again about midnight for the second group.

seems like alot of us are staying at the quality inn on lacross. so if somehow we miss each other, just look for the focus in the parking lot and leave a note under the wiper.[?|]
my cell number will be available to those who want it, just pm me.

Well Dingaling, I lived in rapid for almost 15 years so I do know my way a little bit.

Tim

Looks like I will be working until 11pm all week, but I am gonna try to get Friday off or leave work early. Probably should be able to get out by 7pm if not earlier.

Change of plans for me. I will be leaving Thursday night and getting there around 4:00 AM friday morning. This way we will have 2 full days to hang out.
