How do you plan to get to DB? If you are going down 15 (not sure what way is best) you can join the convoy in Orange.

To date we have between 10-12 trucks and a great group planned.
Let's get convoys set up. I know there will be a leg traveling from HQ to Fredericksburg then meeting Victor in Orange then to the Predidents house.
Time TBD. I am waiting on word from the brewery as to what time we need to be there for some surprises.

Most likely what I will do.
If the little whipper snapper trucks want to zip around the country side at a high rate of speed, me and you can hang out at the DB with all our fans and drink good beer!

Billy is correct. I have gotten permission from the GM to offload on site. However, I have a special project underway to see if you can get more windshield time.

I have been in contact with the Brewery's General Manager and have arranged for a tour of their facility at 11:15-11:30 depending on when the staff meeting is completed. Brother Milliman, I think we should meet in FB between 7:30-8 that way we can enjoy a nice cruise. Please acknowledge..... Now that work is done for the week, I'm getting really pumped. I hope that all have a safe incident free voyage to the area. Looking forward to a great day!

Still working on getting the hubs changed around on the 860 so I can get wheels on it so I can get it off the trailer! No trailer, no '46 at the Bbone. Getting close and have learned a lot about big truck stuff this week. Its not totally different, just bigger and HEAVIER.

That means a 0600 departure from HQ. Where shall we meet up?
Hambone?
Mike Roache -- Shall we meet you on 234 somewhere around Chaptico? 0620-ish? My trailer needs minor PM -- greasegun to the hubs, etc. Good to go, otherwise.
Looking forward to it!

Between 830 and 9. Just in case we hit all the lights on Rt 3.
John meeting point TBD. Bone may want a tweak here at the Hot Rod Shop before departure.

Give Victor the vector.
Billy ... Doesn't 29 have a lot of traffic lights? Especially close to Charlottesville.
HB -- Excellent. Why don't you plan to meet us North of the Chaptico Circle. Once you get up on top of the hill, there is a park on the right. We could use that pull off lane as our rally point.
