WHEN:
SUNDAY - MAY 1, 2011
10:00 AM

WHERE:
Baltimore South Travel Center #151
Country Pride Restaurant
I-95 & Rt. 175, Jessup Exit 41A
Baltimore, MD 20794

Latitude: 39.16669846
Longitude: -76.78279877

SCHEME OF MANEUVER
I don't imagine everyone will be there on time, but we'll park somewhere away from the buildings toward the road where a bunch of metros can be seen and gather. We'll hang a bit in the parking lot with introductions and inspect each others rides like dogs, then move on to a brunch at the CountryPride Restaurant.

The Countrypride is known for good food, inexpensive and all you can eat. It's a favorite of truckers who go up and down 95 from Maine to Florida. I'm fond of their chicken fried steak, their fried chicken dinner, and their steaks. They have an OK seafood platter, but their breakfasts are great! They also have good burgers. Most of the all you can eat breakfasts/dinners are under $10 and also come with a soup and salad bar. Trust me, you won't go hungry.

Afterward, we go down the road (we can walk there if you are all tired of sitting and want to burn off calories!) to Crazy Ray's Junkyard, a local pick n pull. And look around till we get chased out.

We disperse on our own.

That sounds like a great idea, except the parking lot at rays is gonna be hell by the time we make it there :)

I won't be able to make it if it is on Sunday morning :(

I'm disappointed that I missed the last one. So I figured hey! Let's do another!

I also like to multi-task. So I combined meet-up with nice brunch, and pick and pull fun.

Rays is .67 miles from the TA Truckstop restaurant. If you don't have problems walking, that distance can be covered in under 15 minutes. A good way to walk off all that food!

The walk would make a nice, short adventure. Like the movie "Stand By Me".

Schultz, if you think it'll be done by then, you can drive my car up.

I can meet up with you in Alexandria and we can continue on.

Afterward, on the way back, there is a Chinatown Bus leaving from DC at 7:45 PM for $20 that gets to Newtown Rd., Virginia Beach by 11:15 PM - Not sure if you would want to get home that late though.

Woohoo! Looks like we'll have a few folks out there on May 1st.

I will have gotten back from Hawaii by then - late wedding celebration with my wife's family and friends and letting them get to know me.

I'll bring a few tools (wrenches, prybars, propane torch?) and if anyone needs help removing parts from wrecks at Ray's.
