I've only got a little over an hours drive. 9am works for me. Lets just make sure we go to walmart BEFORE 9 this time. I want to be leaving that parking lot at 9:15 so we have more time to explore.

Just about! My brother's phone is one of my oldest phones still around, HTC EVO AKA FrankenPhone! I've replaced the screen twice the speaker 3-4 batteries several back covers, and now he tells me the charging port is acting sketchy, back to the Mad Scientist for repairs!

Yeah, I'm game for 9am too, it makes the drive easier. I'll head out at 200 or so to make sure the 6 coffee stops and the run to Walmart don't have us runnin late. I don't think we got on the road till 230/245 last time.

sent you a PM, figured it'd be better to hash out the details there so the guys traveling from the NY area don't shit up the thread more than we already have. :facepalm: Looks like Harrisburg PA might be a good spot to meet up and you'd only need to leave a hour or so before us.

Have fun being late.

Turns out I'm not going through Harrisburg. A lot quick and shorter to take a different route further west. I'm getting on 81S in the Winchester Va area. Might bump into you guys some point after that.
