[T3] Invasion route

[Gary Forsmo]

This sounds good, and I assume Keith and Bob can work things out to
meet with us. I doubt if Marilyn wants a big crew there for overnight
again, but it would be great if she wanted to join us for the trip.
The lighter days sound good to Melissa and me, but we're both retired
now.

The lighter days would also be good if we have a larger caravan,
because more cars increases the odds of some kind of problem along
the way. Along those lines, Gary's idea of bringing his motorhome and
towing his '69, and having the possibility of a tow vehicle might
turn out to be handy, but let's hope it's not.  ;-)

Gary and I could meet up with you somewhere in mid-Illinois.
-------------------------------------------
Jim .... another possibility (for us Wisconsinites,) might be:  Hwy. 151
from Madison, Dodgeville, Dubuque to Iowa City to meet up with the caravan,
mid- to late afternoon, at the Iowa City "overnight" motel.

Going directly south (I-39) from Madison to the I-80 "corridor" to meet the
caravan mid-day, then west to Iowa City would be taking two legs of a
triangle (283 miles)... rather than one (diagonal) leg of 176 miles.  Your
thoughts?

It would be no trouble for me to come to Madison, "prep" & load the T3 a
few days early.  My '69 would still probably be just "coming out of  winter
storage" from the airplane hanger in Oregon (WI),  And then the run to Iowa
City would be an easy day.  3 to 4 hours.
-----------------------------------------------------
Excuse my ignorance, but can someone explain "the Wolfie Compound". Y'all
experienced, T3 veteran, Invasion-ites (is that a word) probably, know what
that means, but as a "newbie", I don't.  ????

In addition to your (albeit preliminary) plans about city-to-city, would it
be possible for you to add information like Day; Date; Depart; Arrive &
Route.  I realize that's "pie in the sky goal", and there needs to be
flexibility, due unforeseen events, weather, (don't say it --) breakdowns),
etc.

Example:
Day     Date       Depart                     Arrive
Route
1         6/18   Dearborn (8:00am)  Iowa City (5:00pm)      I-94; I-80
2         6/19   Iowa City (7:00am)   N. Platte (6:00 pm)         I-80
3         6/20   N. Platte (8:00 am)   Co. Springs (3:00 pm)  I-80; I-25

...... or something.  (Excuse my "anal-ity", please).  I did meeting
planning for a Fortune 500 corporation for several years, and "the devil
was in the details".

I'm confident that as the Invasion date gets closer & the caravan plans
evolve, you'll have more information.
