Based on all the SSRavan's comments here is the collective plan for traveling to MV. This is all for Thursday May 1st!
Radio Monitor: Channel 8
Blu-Dragon Cell: PM Me for it!
First Meet Point:
7:00am - 7:15am: Rest Stop on Hwy 81 just south of Carisle. This is just south of the turnpike for people coming from the east. We will try to leave as close to 7:15am as possible. If you're close but not there yet just call my cell and let me know you're close! Timing can be a problem but we dont want to leave anyone behind.
Please drop me a PM so I know who should be at this meet point. I don't want to leave anyone behind.
Second Meet Point
9:00- 9:30am south of Winchester VA. This is meeting up with the Northern VA group. The specific point is where I-66 merges onto I-81 is about 20 minutes or so south of Winchester. Meet up at exit 298 between 9:00 and 9:30.
Third Meet Point
10:30-11:00am. Rest area on 81 that is just south of the I-64/I-81 merge. It's about 80 miles from the second meet point. According to Gary G, its mile marker 199, near Staunton Virginia.
Juile... feel free to correct me if I got any of the VA meet points wrong.
See everyone soon! This will be fun!

I will be headed down 81 on Thursday....Have NO idea what time yet. In fact might be leaving from D.C. instead of NJ, but I will keep an eye on this thread.
I'm coming down from MA on Thursday. I don't know what time though. Don't know if others are coming with me yet.
Dan (poppa) will already be in PA.
Wow! You have a lot of driving ahead of you on Thursday! About 16 hours huh? It's 11 from Scranton according to our GPS and Mapquest. I'd offer you up a room here if you wanted to come down Wednesday night to get a head start but we're under renovation here and our two guest rooms are a disaster area!

Please look for a post soon about those of us coming from Northern/Central VA. It's possible we could hook up with you all farther down I-81 (I think Liberty is the name of the town just north of the I64/I81 merge).

Sorry I just checked and I was planning on driving down part way on Wednesday.
I was thinking about staying with my son who lives in Freehold, NJ but it would still be a long ride on Thursday.
I may try to find a place along I-81 so I don't have to drive to far out of the way.
Yes... it's a ways down there! Good news is it's all 70mph (80+ actual) traveling, but we're planning on leaving Scranton about 5am so that we can make it to the reception at a decent hour.

This is a 16 hour ride for me (979 Miles) according to mapquest.
Does anyone in the know of a decent place to stay along I-81 in West Virginia or Northern Virginia so I could cut the trip in half.
I could meet up with others heading South on the 1st.
I am leaving Wednesday morning. Maybe even Tuesday.
What is everyone else up here up to?
Woofman, Mason? Chic?

I will be leaving around April 16, 17 or the 18. Going to Cottondale, Fl for a few days. Then to Maggie Valley. That is if I can get out of this mud hole.
