OK folks, this is shaping up to be the biggest and best NALM to date. Come be a part of it! It's that time of year again for us to start talking about who is going, and how you are getting there. For those of you who have participated in a long distance road trip before, you know how much fun this can be. For those rookies out there, I gotta tell you, this is one of my favorite parts of any meet. If you are on the fence about attending the best National Meet to date, frankly, you are nuts....
I kid.. I kid.
Seriously though, consider this the first taunt to get you to attend.
Just to get discussions started, here is the mapquest route from St. Louis to Chattanooga. ~ 7 hours / 450 miles
Driving Directions from Saint Louis, MO to Chattanooga, TN
This route is far from set in stone and can be altered any way we see fit. Anyone West of us can coordinate here as well to align our paths. Maybe the Chicago folks will want to meet up in Mt Vernon, IL? Maybe I change my path to include a stop in Louisville? We could connect with the Texas and Oklahoma group in Nashville... Who knows... Whatever we decide, this caravan needs to be rolling into Chattanooga by mid afternoon on Thursday, July 3rd. If I'm traveling alone, this means I'm leaving my house at 7 A.M. Thursday. I'll adjust this as the group grows and the route gets modified.
We've been the biggest before, lets do it again!
