Florida Convoy Thread

I guess I can end up there if you get a little more info as to where to meet you at and stuff! I am driving the 5 ton, so cruise control is about 69mph, so nobody better leave me in the dust!

That is probably a good place to meet, right off I-75. Nice big lot for people to maneuver.

With the 4.10's in my 1 Ton I can't go much more than 70 anyways!

i cant drive 55!

We'll have a good "convoy speed", no worries. Edit the original post with some information.

 

[cessnatwin]

Ray, **** yea lets meet up there and go!

 

[RAYZER]

you got it Chris! and theres a waffel house right there at the meet up point where i can get me a pecan waffel!!!

 

[RAYZER]

[FireFighterHill]

God, I wish I could go. **** not having a military vehicle!

Wildwood, 9:00AM Wednsday sounds good to me.

 

[phil2968]

Just to be clear, we would like to be LEAVING Wildwood at 9am. It would be nice to grab some breakfast but everyone needs to get there early enough to eat.

 

[RAYZER]

wildwood @ 8 am ?

 

[cessnatwin]

Probly not a bad Idea Ray! I can be there at 0800, as I would rather be early and on the road rather than pushing the late envelope!

 

[RAYZER]

waffel house - mcdonalds - dennys are our choices.

If all goes as planned, I'll be at Wildwood by midnight Tuesday. I'm going to grab some ZZZZs at the Pilot truckstop and be ready in the AM. At this time I'm driving my M35A2C with 2 M116A3 trailers in the bed and the contact maintenance trailer in tow. Other stuff may come as well. I don't think anyone has to worry about speed. Deuces run around 55 so if anyone gets smoked, it will be us deucers.

Waffle House!!!!!! I will plan to get there early. I would like to think that I could depart Tuesday evening and rack out there but expect that I will be packing and working until late in the evening.

Pete brought up a point today. Communication.

Who has a CB in the vehicle they will be bringing?

I do.

 

[phil2968]

I have a couple of Gmrs radio I'm bringing. Plan on using them on the way up and on the trails.

 

[SixSpeed]

What about those of us who aren't cool enough for UHF radio?

Got CB in my rig. Probably bringing up the rear, in case of breakdowns. Plus I have to pull into the AG/weigh stations. Shouldn't be problem to catch up though. Fuel is a "little" cheaper across the GA line. Flying J and TA at exit 2, Pilot (I believe) at exit 5. Wilco/Hess at exit 11. That's a good area to take a break and rest the ears. Also a Pilot at exit 101, Denny's next door, and a couple fast food places for lunch. Will have my exit guide if those don't work out time-wise.
