we'll work something out then. ill shoot for a 12ish arrival if that works.
i just realized that i spelled lincoln wrong every time earlier. 
we'll set up something solid a little closer to my departure.

For the meet up in Des Moines, we will be departing from the Bosselman Travel center in Altoona at 7AM sharp. It is at exit 142 in Altoona. There are some hotels at that exit as well. Plan to be there by 6:30 so we can meet up distribute radios and get everything ready to go.
Please post here if you are planning to meet up in Des Moines.
Thanks,

Hector, it appears to be right about 320 miles from our location so as long as we can hit a 65 mph average then we will be there at noon. Otherwise it will be shortly thereafter. It appears as long as we get out of the Oasis by 1 we will be in Fort Wayne by 4 at the latest.
What route are we planning to take? I-80 clear across Indiana and then drop south on I69 or do we want to run highway 30 across to Fort Wayne? I vote for hwy 30 unless Mark or Jim have a reason to sway us from that. Hwy 30 shows as a divided hwy so no two lane running necessary.

Are you thinking of Hwy 30 thru Iowa? If so it's 2 lane except in Cedar Rapids and near Clinton (I'm from Clinton), then drops back to 2 lane for as long as I've been on it in Illinois...
I-80 probly a better choice...

No, I'm talking Hwy 30 in Indiana. I actually mapquested everything out and we'll be taking I-80 into the edge of Indiana and then dropping down to take Hwy 30 across to Fort Wayne. Even though it's a 55 mph speed limit it's still 4 lane divided and more direct than taking I-80 over to I-69 and then dropping straight south
According to the timeline I've put together as long as we leave our meet with the Chicago boys by 1 pm, we'll be in Fort Wayne around 4:30. Mark and the Hahns will be over to the hotel around 6.
