New England Caravan

[Jesus H Chrysler]

Ladies and Gentlemen!  I know quite a few of you are heading to Carlisle from the New England area.  I'm planning on heading down sometime Thursday morning.  I'll be starting out a few miles north of Worcester, MA.  If anyone else has similar plans or route, lets link up.  There's not much cooler than a pack of Mopars heading down the highway! (also my Challenger has GPS, so getting lost is a little harder).  Plus if someone has a hiccup, there's help right at hand. 

Anyone interested, let me know!

We are leaving early Thursday from NH, but won't have the challenger.  We're taking the Mini, and that just wouldn't be right in the middle of a pack of Mopars.       I'd have to follow at least a mile behind, if I could even keep up.   

Too bad, the 84 Diner in/near Fishkill NY has a car show every Thursday night.  It would have been awesome to wheel in there with about 5 or 6 Mopars (or more).  But it's about another 3-4 hours to Harrisburg from there. In any case, we stop there for breakfast or lunch on our trips between NH and PA where my family is.

As of right now there is no "pack" and I'll be taking the new Challenger, not the old one so a Mini isn't so out of place.   (It's all retro, dude!)  I don't really have an itinerary other than avoiding NYC at all costs!  If anyone has suggestions for a lunch stop etc. please feel free to suggest!

I`ll be heading out Thursday morning early-maybe 4-5am and plan on a stop for an hour or two along the way.Last year we stopped at an animal park but not sure where we`ll stop this year.  We can either hook up locally or if we are traveling the same route amybe some where along the way.I`ll just be in  the `04 Ram-no `cuda this year    - but would still be more fun to caravan with Mopar people than alone.I went 84 to 81 last year to avoid NYC and will most likely go the same route this year unless someone has a better one???

You'll be an hour or two ahead of us.  We'll probably get on the road about 6.

I usually take 84 to 81.  But I haven't check for construction on 81.  If there's a threat of running into that, I sometimes take 209 through the Delaware Water gap to 33 and catch 22/78 west toward Harrisburg.  Or Rt 402 is also a beautiful drive between 84 and 209 , but speed limit is 45/50.  There's a giant Cabela's in Hamburg on 22/78 if you are looking for any outdoor gear.  Fun just to walk around and window shop if you are looking for an hour's break.

I`m flexible as far as leaving time and I know the girlfriend would love an extra hours sleep!

We planned on leaving Worcester Thursday morning around 7am.
I have no issue with heading out a hair earlier.
Even if we all split up here and there, maybe it would be a good idea to all exchange phone numbers, just in case something happens, or to alert of traffic ahead etc.....

If we're all taking the pike (90) maybe we can meet up somewhere around there?  Auburn?  or one of the rest stops?  I'm completely flexible on time so if someone has constraints I can adapt.  And Cabellas is definitely a stop I make on the way back.  All my unspent car money goes towards ammo

I'm good with that.

If everyone is cool with exchanging numbers too, maybe we can all just send Greg, (Jesus) all our numbers so we will have one complete list instead of zig zagging back and forth with each other on who got whos number 

[torredcuda]

What`s the rest area around there,Charlton plaza I think,or if anyone knows a better place to meet?I`ll send Jesus my number-maybe he`ll call me!

I can hit the pike from a few different locations from where I live in Worcester and they are only about ten minutes away tops, (one on Grafton St, one around the Blackstone Valley Mall in Millbury, and another from 290 if I remember correctly, (sorry, it was a long weekend    ).
Not familiar with the one around Charlton.

[torredcuda]

Maybe Westborough?

[spamtank]

Sounds like a plan.

I'll send my phone number when I get home to the real computer.

Let me know which rest stop and an approximate time and I'll get the troops moving in the morning to make it on time.
