I am in Green between Akron and Canton. The drive takes me roughly 1 1/2 hours from here. Last year I joined the Cleveland caravan at the Portage St exit on I77. This year the Akron-Canton airport exit would work better for me.

That means the Cleveland caravan needs to be in this area around 9:30 then we could join in.

By the way, the address for the Banana Peel is : 59777 West Rd, New Concord, OH 43762 for all you GPS and smart phone users.

Hello all - Please add me to the list of attendee's for Saturday's drive (Gray). I'm located in the northeastern Cleveland area (Mentor) and would like to caravan down with the cle/akron crew. A radio from microbionic would be nice if he has one left. Where is the caravan meet-up location and what time? Also, can I invite non FR-S/BRZ people? Look forward to meeting you soon!

Also...What is the updated Google Maps link?

Welcome to the group! The event is open for non-86ers and 86ers alike! So as long as your friends aren't stupid in their driving, (and their cars can hold up) we should be alright. We're still figuring out Caravan, though I am debating just meeting up at Rampage's location around 9:30 Saturday morning.

Thanks Matt. Where is Rampage located? Weather looks great right now btw...

He's down between A-K-Rowdy and Canton, and the weather is Looking interesting, to say the least. 30% chance of rain and mid 80s. But as we know, weather forecasting that far ahead is almost pure luck. So we'll see.

[mcquarrieg]

Cool...I'll look for the confirmed location this week and see you there on Saturday.

If we are all going to just caravan from my area then we are going to need a bigger rally point than the expressway on ramp . One exit south of the Akron-Canton airport exit on I77 is Shuffle Rd. There is a huge church on the east side of the expressway called Faith Family Church. The pastor there is a car guy and would have no issues with us pulling in there for a few minutes to get the caravan organized. If you are coming south on I77 take the Shuffle Rd exit and then turn right on to Shuffle. Cross the bridge over the expressway and turn left into the church. Will that work for everyone? We should leave the church around 9:30 to head south.

I will be bringing my radios and my newly acquired GoPro.

Sounds like a Plan! I'll have my radios too, with freshly charged batteries even!

Sorry guys, something came up and I won't be able to make it. I'm super bummed, but hopefully we can get another "fall colors" cruise or something in a few months.
