Mark, where is your potential stopping point in MI?

Pontiac area, Meeting up with Kanakry and gettting the trucks loaded up that night to be ready to head out in the morning sometime.

I may hook up with you guys going through Michigan. I will either be staying with family in Detroit area or Higgins lake area (3 hours North) depending on how the drive goes. Be cool to all cross the bridge together

I believe they stopped at a burger king somewhere to have everyone meet at to cross the bridge together. Ill try and find it in last years snoball thread tonight....

I need to find an actual address for the chicago convoy going up so I can put it in my GPS.

It's the Bass Pro in Gurnee, IL.

6112 W. Grand Avenue
Gurnee, IL 60031

The Chicago Convoy is gonna be a big one again...Im guessing at least 12 trucks as of now.

A few points of interest:

The departure spot will be the Bass Pro Shop parking lot at the Gurnee Exit.

Gurnee, IL (Chicago) Sporting Goods & Outdoor Stores | Bass Pro Shops

You can actually see Bass Pro as you exit and it's only a few hundred yards off the exit. Just as you exit, there is a ****** mart and gas station on your right....Stop and make sure you are full BEFORE coming to Bass Pro.

There is a crap load of places to eat at this location and of course if anyone needs any last minute supplies/equipment Bass Pro is open at 9AM.

I believe the current plan is to depart in the AM, around 9:30ish.

There are also a number of hotels in Gurnee if you plan on coming in Thursday night. There is a huge outlet mall also at this location for those that come in early.

Of course more definative details as we get closer. Last year's convoy was great and you can count on lots of laughs when Todd (ShooterAMG) is on mic...

thanks for the address man

 

[Big Blue]

Thanks for posting the Address Chris.

BTW, as far as an update on the Chicago Convoy...we are up to 25 Trucks!

I'm pretty sure I'll be joining the convoy as well. It will ultimately depend on when my codriver can get out of work, but we can probably make it.

Just finished reading the entire thread, good thing that there was only 11 pages. My father will be my co-pilot and flies into Baltimore Wednesday morning. My initial plan was to pick him up at the airport and head North through MI but after reading the thread that may change so we can meet up with others long the way.

So far meeting WorldTour in Pittsburgh or Timmyr in Toledo look like they would be possible. Tomorrow after I get done on working on the truck I will take a closer look at my route.
