I'm planning to leave early Saturday morning (6:30am), be there by
11:00am and thinking to leave by 7:00 pm and be back home by 11:30
pm. I'll have a Honda Pilot and can fit another three (comfortably)
or five (with two in the way-back) if anyone wants to tag along with
me. I've done such one-day work trips up I-75 into Michigan in the
past. It is a bit of a haul, but doable, and certainly more enjoyable
with extra company. I'm also open to other arrangements.
Give it some thought and let me know. FYI - I'll be out-of-town and
will miss this coming Tuesday night's meeting.
I, too, will be attending. However, I'm actually driving separate as
my wife and I will be visiting family in the Detroit area for the
weekend. Jim, we should make sure to exchange phone numbers so we can
connect to tour everything together on Saturday. I will be up there
Fri-Sun.
I won't be at the meeting tonight (Tuesday June 22) but whatever group
is present, talk up the Detroit Maker Faire as an agenda item and see
if there is any interest in a carpool. Remind folks the early
registration date is July 16.
I will be attending as well. My friend up in Findlay would like to
come too, so I figure I'll be driving myself and picking him up on the
way, unless someone else is tolerant of the delay this will add and is
willing to take me (I know Findlay's right along 75 and I think his
place is fairly close to the highway). If I do drive, I can take 2
other people. Yes, I have working A/C.
@Ed, I would also be interested in both days, I believe CJDavis is also interested in both days and when I last talked to him about it he mentioned he could probably drive his van up.
Are we thinking a van because we want to bring stuff up/back, or is it more to fit a lot of people? If only four people were interested in going for two days and we aren’t hauling anything, I would be willing to drive.
I would also be interested in both days. Should we start looking at
hotel arrangements?
I can't leave work until 6p on Fridays if the plan is to go up the day
before. I am also willing to go up really early in the morning on
Saturday, but I am not a morning person.
