VOI.10 Caravan from Denver CO

[TTviper]

Greetings,

Anyone from the Denver CO area driving out to VOI.10?

I plan on leaving Monday 8/25/2008 for the 18 hour, 1200+ mile drive. I will most likely layover in Des Moines, Iowa for the first leg...

1st day: 681.66 miles
2nd day: 600.42 miles

I also plan to just sleep in the car, as I don't trust leaving it anywhere out of my sight... That should be an exercise in futility and crazy contortions...

Hey TTViper, in case you guys are pulling through our area on Tuesday or Wednesday morning. see below on a Large caravan leaving northern illinois:

Our region planned a caravan to Detroit on both Tuesday and Wednesday. We've had a few other regions join us and wanted to offer it to anyone passing through. The more the merrier. The vast majority will be leaving on Tuesday. Feel free to join us. Details below:

We’ve set a caravan meet up time/place for both Tuesday and Wednesday morning. You can join whichever group leaves on your day. As we know, it's always more fun to go together!

We have arranged a meeting spot at the Lincoln Oasis on I-80 near I-294 (You can't miss it, signs before you arrive and you'll see the bridge as you get closer). The departure time will be the same on both days, please be there no later than 8:00am. The caravan will leave shortly after 8:00am.

The Lincoln Oasis is located on I-80 just between I-294 and I-94. We will of course be on the EASTBOUND side of the Oasis. We’ll meet at the end of the lot (exactly where the arrow is pointing). Fuel is available at the Oasis, so don’t forget to get a full tank. This is also a good place if you want to grab a bite, several restaurants can be found there. Once we leave, we plan to travel in 1 ½ to 2 hour segments stopping at rest areas along the way and breaking for lunch somewhere midway. We’ll have a relaxed drive. The trip from our meeting point will be about 6 hours (which includes our stops). We should arrive in Detroit around 3:30pm (their time). This will give us enough time to check-in, register, and wash up our cars before the evening.

I will lead the Tuesday group, we’ll have driving instructions printed. Gary Grube (IL VCA VP) will lead on Wednesday.
