Default Badlands Convoy from FT. WAYNE, IN.

The trip to the Badlands is about two weeks away. I know everybody is getting excited and looking froward to having a great time.

Here are my plans.

At exit I-69 and US 24 there is a McDonalds. It is on the West side of I-69.
They open at 5 AM. I would like to leave around 5:30 AM. This would put us at the Badlands in time for the early registion!!!!!

Right now I have a small group going. If you are coming through the Fort, please join us. We will be on CH 4 on the CB. I have a Green TJ with a Tan top. I will be at McDonalds around 5 AM

John, JK, highrlr
James, TJ
Larry, Jk, 08jkfw
Bill, TJ, wdw
Mike, XJ

Ted, TJ

Bill, I would like to ride along with you all, but we would need to leave a little earlier. I would like get to the Badlands around 8:20 or so. If this doesn't work, I will go ahead and meet you there.

We can leave at 5:45 from the McD's. I know the route to get us there in plenty of time...by 8:15 probably. I put my father-in-law down as well -- Mike in an XJ.

Count me in. I'll be driving in from Defiance, OH. I'll be getting up very early to make it by 5am. I was checking Mapquest and came up with this address.
McDonalds
5796 Coventry Ln
Fort Wayne, IN 46804
I'll enter this as a destination on my Garmin. It looks shorter to drive straight through Ft Wayne but it may be faster to take the 469 bypass. Any thoughts?

At that time in the morning, it is faster to go through the Fort.

But, I live one exit North of I-469. (1/4 mile). I could meet you if you want to come that way.

Looks like we will have a nice convoy. wdw, am I leading the way? I don't remember which way you go, but I take 24 to 25 (and a few other side roads), but basically ending up on 28 to the Badlands. I can lead if you want.

Thats the way I go. You are the "Great Lakes Leader", I guess you are the convoy leader also.

I will bring up the rear.
