Those of us who are meeting up in Kentucky (so far thats KY, Coche and Mcman) will meet at the Dogwalk Market gas station. Its the most obvious landmark I can think of, and it's right on 127. You will be headed north out of Russell Springs, and you are looking for Dunnville, KY. Google puts Dogwalk way further south, so I expect GPS will do the same, take note. Right in the same spot there is a one room post office and Tarter Gate headquarters, so you can't miss it. I even found a street view for it, which is rare in these parts. There should be a red hatchback sitting there, too. ![]() Dogwalk Market |

Alrighty then, its time to get down to specifics. There are three meetup points: Cookville/Nashville, Dunnville, and Columbus. We may also be meeting Coche in Cincinnati. Google calls this an 8 1/2 hour drive from Dunnville, but in a convoy of Metros, better allow more time. The objective is to arrive before dark, roughly 9:00pm. Earlier is better. So the Dunnville meetup is tentatively at 10:20am, which puts us in Columbus at 4:00pm. I need to confirm with 90Metro what time he can meet up, but if it is much after 5 we may not be able to wait that long. At that point we would have two convoys, KY/Coche/Mcman and 90/t3ragtop/Zippy? BTW, in order to make this work, we need to meet up within a short window, so nobody is waiting around instead of driving. The Columbus meetup is tentatively at 4:00, but after 4:15 the train leaves the station, so to speak. Similarly, if no one shows up at Dunnville by 10:35, I am going on ahead. Again, the times are just a starting point. Let me know what works best. We should be able to fine tune the meets using cellphones, GPS, and by knowing if we're behind or ahead of schedule. Looking forward to this, guys........ EDIT: updated times to avoid confusion. Edited by KY Metro, Jul 12 2010, 06:07 PM.
