REALLY WOW, you look old

I will be in the Reno, NV area Nov 25th thru 29th.

If you ask me, it was a bad idea to schedule this over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Oh well.

I agree, Jerry. I'll have to wait until the day comes closer to see if we can make it. *sigh*

Jayme - Any idea why it was changed?

ok, do we WRAP the present or just buy one and bring it not wrapped but still un-opened??

and i'm geared to go, i think i'll have someone else go with me or in her jeep

I'll try and make it out. It was a really fun event last year and like Jayme said - it was really cool to see all those Jeeps driving down Lake Shore Drive.

In response to the about the date change, a representative of GLJT has replied with the following:

Quote:

1. why we changed the date to the 29th (from the possible dates below):

- November 29th, This is thanksgiving weekend but looks like it could be our best bet

- December 13th, This date will be pretty hard if not impossible to pull off with the bears VS packers. we would NOT have the Truck marshalling area, and more then likely would be on our own as far as the parade goes.

-December 20th, This is the week of Christmas, there are some worries that the Marines would not have enough time to wrap all the presents.

-November 22nd, Sunday before Thanksgiving. a little early

That clears things up a lot. December 6th is the motorcycle T4T run.

Change of plans - I will be able to attend. We're not going to Reno for Thanksgiving.

Anyway, I'm adding myself to the list -

1. yellocoyote
2. lionseye640 - maybe
3. jeepfrog
4. STINGN
5. oddball

Thanks. Since I am going to be around here, I am looking forward to the T4T Jeep experience.

who's kj was in front of you?

oddball · **Posted:** Sun Nov 01, 2009 6:12 pm

Anyone have thoughts to meeting up prior to arriving at McCormick place?

jeepfrog · **Posted:** Sun Nov 01, 2009 6:21 pm

That would be a good idea. Maybe we can figure that out next Saturday?

oddball · **Posted:** Sun Nov 01, 2009 7:52 pm

Sounds good.

FWIW, I was going to suggest the Hinsdale Oasis on southbound I-294 (just north of the I-55 exit).

oddball · **Posted:** Sun Nov 01, 2009 11:26 pm

Well 31st street is south of the Stevenson (I-55), so you could take I-90 to I-294 S (just past the O'Hare exit). If we were to meet at the oasis on the Tri-state, the next exit south (of the oasis) is for I-55, which we would take to Lake Shore Drive, then to 31st street.

Just a suggestion - Because I've never attended this event, I'm not sure how easy it is to meet up in lot "B" to make sure we're together in the line-up for the run?

I was thinking Steve could take 94/294 S to the oasis as well?
