Since there is a decent sized group heading to homecoming from the east (ny, pa, nj, etc) I figured we could meet in Cleveland/medina and head up as a group.

Please comment on this list and will do my best to organize.

You can pm me for my phone number.

I will update early in the week. Still catching up from being gone at the power tour.
Would approximate being in Toledo around 930 or 1000?

Perhaps lunch stop at tony packos?
Best hot dogs and chili around. That's assuming they are open at that time.

It takes about an hour and a half to get to Toledo from here.... I would say closer to 10:30-11 Scott.

That's cool. Anyone is free to meet at my house too. If you were at the medina meet, I'm a half mile north. I'm near route 3 and i71.

Ok. I finished off my last can of tony packos chili, so I think that we should plan a lunch stop there. Tony packos is located on front street in Toledo.
Say 11:00? Most will be in this convoy. Maybe some coming up from the south care to join?

I believe this allows us time to get to the heritage center, but have not looked at any maps, etc.

If my info is off, or if anyone had any alternate suggestions, feel free to post.

I think I'll meet at your place before we take off.

Re: Convoy from ohio to homecoming

how many guys are coming from Western PA / Pittsburgh, etc?

I was planning on putting together a good list tonight, but dont want to miss anyone.

Some people will probably meet at my house @ 8:30, then meet up by I90 for Tom @ Sportmachines and Gary/Noelle from Buffalo @ 9:30 or so.

Re: Convoy from ohio to homecoming

OK.....so here is the final......

My house in Medina @ 8:30
- myself
- Nickel
- Mobile 22 (Dennis)
- Timbo
- Scott

Elyria, OH (Midway Mall) @ 9:30
- Brian (sy1177) with New Jersey nick
- Gary/Noelle from Buffalo
- Sportmachines Tom
- Aeroking (Brandon)

This works out to be a good area to meet, since those driving the farthest will not have to go out of their way. When you get off OH Route 57 in Elyria from I90, go south. This is exist #145, and is about 20 miles or so West of Downtown Cleveland. There is a Wendys there we can meet at. You go just a touch further south, and you hit the Ohio Turnpike. We will take the Turnpike to Toledo for Lunch at Tony Packos at 11:00.

Tony Packos
1902 Front St
Toledo, OH 43605

Tony Packos was made famous from MASH, and has some of the best hot dogs and chili you will find.

We should be out of there by 12:00. Since the Homecoming hosts have the Heritage Museum from 2-4 on Friday, this should give us time to make it there stress free. Well....as stress free as driving Sy/Ty's more than an hour away can be.

General Motors Heritage Center
6400 Center
Sterling Heights, MI 48312

Let me know if any questions, comments or concerns. Feel free to PM if you want my phone.
