9/11 (Flight 93) Let’s Roll Cruise – Shanksville PA

SEPTEMBER 20 ~Let’s Roll Cruise – Shanksville PA

OK, who's going?

I'll bring extra water for my car...

 

[yellowvipergts]

Let's talk...we need some help planning this event.

Per our recent conversation with Tom Roeller, President of the NJ club, their club will probably not be co-planning this event. However, anyone from any club is welcome to join us on this cruise.

We need to set up a meeting place. Those that we know of that are coming plan to stay at the Ramada Limited in Mechanicsburg (exit 57 off of I-81), therefore somewhere close by that location would be good. We have a volunteer to set up the luncheon at the same place that we ate at last year. Anyone from western PA can meet us at the lunch location. Our cruise on into Shanksville will follow lunch. We will then cruise back to Mechanicscburg. There are no plans for an evening dinner.

Can someone please help us out setting up a good meeting spot in the Mechanicsburg area?
We need to move quickly on planning this event as a newsletter needs to go out SOON!

Feel free to contact us.

Thanks,
Denny & Ginger

Just a short 1 mile away is a closed Lowes...Large parking lot...Why don't you all just meet there ? Or you could always meet @ Flying J - Dunkin Donuts off of 81S in Carlisle...

 

[PaViper]

Ginger, the Lowes that Frank mentioned is in the same parking lot as your favorite little diner, that would be an easy place to meet in the AM.

 

[yellowvipergts]

Thanks...that's exactly where we were originally planning on meeting, but wanted to throw it on the table for any ideas from those that know the area better. I'll post more details regarding time etc. as soon as I can get them together.

Ginger

 

[Brian GTS]

We're planning to go!!! I'm going to see if I can get a couple other members from the Pittsburgh area to join us as well.

Brian & Janelle

 

[yellowvipergts]

Sounds great Brian. We look forward to seeing you both again.
Hope your trip home from VOI was good. It was a great time!

[RedEnuf93]

I'm in.

 

[RedEnuf93]

OK, Denny, Carmen, Brian and Lauri, anyone else?

Frank, do I hear a Ford GT joining us?

 

[PaViper]

10 cars so far.....we need about 10 more.....

 

[yellowvipergts]

We have 11 Vipers as of today. Of that number, 7 will meet in Mechanicsburg, and 4 will meet at the Jean Bonnet Tavern.

Ginger

 

[yellowvipergts]

The weather report is looking good for this cruise on Saturday. Sunny & 67.

Come along and cruise with us and pay your respects at the Flight 93 Memorial!

 

[PittsburghRT]

As long as the weather is nice count me in.

 

[FrankBarba]

Frank, do I hear a Ford GT joining us?

Daughters Birthday Weekend. Will be out of town for family gathering...Thanks....I will hook up one of these days.

 

[yellowvipergts]

For those of you in the western PA area that plan to meet up with Rege & Donna Kort for the drive to the Jean Bonnet Tavern (6048 Lincoln Highway, Bedford 15522), below is a message from Donna regarding the meeting point. If you do plan to meet them, please call Donna so she knows you are coming to that location. If it is more convenient for you to just meet at the restaurant that is fine too.

* We plan to meet at the Oakmont rest area on the PA turnpike (it is located about 1 mile east of the Allegheny Valley turnpike entrance). We will arrive there about 9 am and plan to wait until 9:30 am sharp before we leave and head to the Bedford exit on the PA turnpike. The restaurant is located a few miles from the exit. If you have any questions before or on that day here is my cell phone number 724-316-9343. *

There are currently 14-15 Vipers that will be at the tavern and then make the trip on to Shanksville. The weather is looking great for the day. Come along for this memorable cruise.

[PittsburghRT]

I'm in western PA and have to get on the PA turnpike at New Stanton. The Oakmont rest area is too far out of the way for us. I may just have to meet everyone at the restaurant.

 

[PaViper]

Call their cell phone on Saturday, I am sure you can pick them up on the way...cruising in the pack is half the fun

 

[yellowvipergts]

I may just have to meet everyone at the restaurant.

Meeting us at the restaurant is OK too. Just come out and join us, we don't care how you get there!

[Brian GTS]

Tom,

The New Stanton ramp appears to be about 26 miles from the Oakmont service plaza. I would guesstimate the caravan will be passing the New Stanton ramp around 9:50am or so. You could just slither in with the group at that point. I'll PM you my cell phone.

Brian

 

[Brian GTS]

BTW, for those meeting at the Oakmont Plaza, I'm bringing my 2-way radio. If anyone else has one, bring it along. Also, I have a spare someone can borrow.

Brian

My friend (Dave Tournay) and I are going to try and make it in his Gen1.

[ViperGal]

please post pictures after for those of us not in the area

 

[my viper]

Wow, I will be a few miles from there [Johnstown] this weekend - alas without the viper. Will try to drive over and meet you folks if possible.

 

[tmish]

I live less than 30 minutes from the memorial. I'll drive to Bedford and meet you at Jean Bonnet at lunchtime!

 

[ACELLR8]

Denny & Ginger,

Thanks for arranging a very nice drive and get together. You guys always do a wonderful job. This was my first time to the crash site of 911, very moving experience.

Lauri,
Can't wait to see the pictures you took.

PittsburghRT,

I wish I would have got to meet you and talk to you, I have seen you post on the forum and love your Gen I, Nice Wheels as well!!

As for the code my old Gen I threw, no big deal (Code 14) low voltage from MAP Sensor and thanks to Tator I have one laying around from a couple years ago that I never used. Installed it this morning and am ready for the Grand Canyon drive now.

Thanks,
Ed, Angela and Trinity

 

[RedEnuf93]

Here's few pictures, Thanks for organizing this Cruise.

Sometimes we remember mostly Twin Towers and New York when talking about 9/11. Due to brave crew and passanges on Flight 93, they did prevent additional attack destined to Congress or White House.

We are proud of you and you will remain in our hearts!
