ONTARIO CARAVAN VOI7,
GTS Bruce has outlined the route, and Mike Adams indicated the place we are staying at in Shepherdsville. Here are the details:
We leave Wed. Sep.25th stay overnight in Shepherdsville, to arrive to Nashville by 10 a.m. Thurs. morning for the PARADE.
The distance between Fort Erie and Nashville according to Yahoo is 1137.0 Km, and it should take about 10 hours and 52 mins. When factoring fueling stops, and lunch,then add 2 more hours;without accounting for detours due to construction, or accidents, therefore we are looking at approx. 13 hours, from Fort Erie !!!? (two Trailers are in the Convoy), that's why we decided to stay overnight in Shepherdsville.
We will meet at the Burlington Mall, Guelph Line South & Fairview
St.( Guelph Line run of the Q.E.W) in Burlington at 5 a.m.(Tim Horton is across the street). Then head to Fort Erie, and should be there at 6:15 a.m., then rendezvous with the WNY Vipers at the U.S. side of the bridge.
We shall travel most of the day and then stay over night just south of Louisville in Shepherdsville, population 4,800. The hotel is the Country Inn new facilities I-65 Exit 117,

I think it is going to be a thrill for this little town to have all these Vipers. There is a GO Kart track next to the hotel, indoor pool etc., and we were promised some southern hospitality,which will be a refreshing break after a long drive.
We depart Shepherdsville around 7 a.m. (248 Km, 2 hours 48 mins.) and arrive to Nashville by 10 a.m., check in is not till later on but we can deposit our luggage, register for the VOI7, and get ready for the parade at noon.
