When do we plan on meeting up at the Lincoln Oasis here in IL? Like I posted before it depends on when we want to arrive in Fort Wayne. Discuss.

well, i would like to arrive at the fort in the early to mid afternoon. thats just me, we'll see what everyone else leaving from des moines thinks. . . .
im not sure how long the drive from des moines to you is, and then how far after that, but earlier is better! i plan on being in des moines early on wednesday so i can get a good nights sleep for thursday.

I usually like to leave Des Moines around 7 in the morning. That should put us on the far side of Chicago sometime around 12-1 depending on the notorious tie up around Gary. That should put us in Fort Wayne sometime around 4-5.

yup  mapquest says 10.5 hours from here to des moines. im guessing it will take about 9. i would like to get in at 5ish, so ill probably leave here around 7 (dont forget +1 hour, wait, are you central time?). so, mapquest says from here to licoln is 7.75 hours. im guessing around 6-6.5 maybe? ill be in licoln a tad after lunch. hell, i can leave ealier if you want to meet for lunch or something (if thats what you were thinking). i dont mind hanging out and getting into des moines a little later. i just want to get into des moines at a reasonable time so i can get a good nights sleep from a long day of driving and for the next day. let me know if you want to meet up. if so we'll work something out.

Yeah, it would be cool if we could work something out. The earlier in the day you can get here, the better, since I don't know what time we'll be heading to the theater. If you get in town sometime in the mid- to early afternoon, we should be good.

Just a wee bit early for us in this neck of the woods...
We'd be looking at a 6 am departure time.
Doable, but a bit earlier than preferred.
