Having a copilot REALLY helps to stay awake. For both discussion and to switch off on driving duties for naps.
I have no clue how Elky and Brapple drive it every year.
They crazy.

If all you listen to is wordless trance or club music the whole way, you'll fall asleep. The rhythmic beats lull you to sleep. You gotta switch it up and get some vocals in there.

1. Elky (and Haroon), we will meet at the Chelmsford rest area at 3:15am Thursday morning.
2. CT people, we will meet at the rest area after exit 3 on I-90 (Mass Pike) in Blanford MA at 5:00am. Its actually the 2nd rest stop after I-91. It has a McDonalds. The first doesn't have any facilities.
3. NY people, we will meet at the Angola (mile marker 447)rest stop on I-90 (NY Thruway) at 11:30-noon.
If anyone needs my cell phone please PM me.

I think Brapple wrote a pretty good checklist in the past. I'm gonna go dig it up and see what I'm forgetting.

Ran out of time and cash. Looks like I'll be using Meguires over the weekend.

I'm running pretty low on cash right now for SZ after having to replace my wheels and tires. I'll have enough to go and what not, but no extras.
Looks like I need to borrow someones 2 way radio. Didn't get to grab a set like I wanted to.
Anyone have some extras?
