Cruise to Homecoming

[Mike Del]

OK, So you're ready to ride....Let's go. Mike and Tom could use a little company on the trip, if you are up to it. Join us anywhere along the way. I start in Somers,Connecticut nearly at the Massachusetts border and meet Tom in Portland, Connecticut. We then continue through New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and of course Alabama. We pass very close to New Jersey, Delaware and Massachusetts. We are not just fair weather drivers so a top would be helpful, but anyone is welcome. If you trailer you can come along too. (Wuss). Wicked fun for the adventurer though.

When is Homecoming? I wish I could join you guys in what sounds like a fun trip from New England to Gadsden.

We are planning to leave on May 7, 2006. Weather conditions could alter departure day slightly. We aren't fair weather drivers, but we aren't stupid either. Homecoming is planned for May 11, 12, 13 (That is unofficial and to the best of my knowledge. After all, it's the Weaver's party. They will confirm.)

Brian, we like to stop at Martinsberg, West Virginia. There is plenty to do there. I'm sure we'll meet up somewhere along the way, either on the way down or on the way home like last year. Call me for info. I'm in the book.

Juan, join the fun. Throw some clothes in a duffel and bring your gas card.

so who else is taking I-81 to homecoming?

[Mike Del]

Brian,
With a Sunday departure we will be in Martinsberg, West Virginia on Sunday night; Sevierville, Tennessee on Monday night; Chatenooga, Tennessee on Tuesday night; Gadsden, Alabama on Wednesday around noon. That's our usual schedule. We stay at a friend's house in Chatenooga and dine at the Big River micro brewery (excellent food and drink). We are open to modifications if the need arises, like if anyone takes us up on the drive offer. For the last thirteen years nobody has opted in.
