James79stang and PATare proposing a convoy to MVV orginating with the North Texas Marauders in the DFW area and proceeding to Hagerstown via Texarkana, Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, Roanoake, Hagerstown.
DFW participants should be on the road 31st July by 7 AM.
James and I will join the convoy from Texas in Texarkana on the morning of the 31st July. Proposed bed down is Knoxville. Arrive Hagerstown early evening of the 1st Aug.
Atlas Map Driving times are as follows:
July 31.
DFW to Texarkana 2.5 hrs - departure 7 arrival 9:30
Texarkana to Little Rock 2.1 hrs - arrive 11:45 (gas/lunch) departure 12:45
Little Rock to Memphis 2.0 hrs - arrive 2:45 departure 3:00
Memphis to Nashville 3.1 hrs - arrive 6:00 (gas/supper) departure 7:00
Nashville to Knoxville 2.5 hrs - arrive 9:30 Bed down (hotel TBA)
August 1st.
Knoxville to Roanoke 4.2 hrs -departure 7:00AM arrive 11:30AM
Roanoke to Hagerstown 4.0 hrs - with lunch/gas an extra hour and time change another hour. Departure 11:45 arrival Hagerstown 5:30 (Eastern Time).
These times are estimates, road construction, driving speeds may impact the times. This is a 1500 mile trip. James and I envision traveling between 70/75 MPH.
Those who want to join this convoy may consult the route and times passing through your area. Cell phone numbers will be given at a later date. Hand held two ways are recommended for various reasons such as warnings, breakdowns, speed changes, pits stops. Radio channel will be determined at a later date.
Your comments and suggestions are invited and this original post will be changed to reflect latest information. We are posting early so that folks may plan ahead. Only 88 days to go.
I ask that we stay on topic to reduce the number of post one has to review to a manageable figure.
Lillalleykat - You have a personal invitation from the North Texas Marauders to join up with us. (Nashville)
James79stang and PAT are committed to this endeavor and hope that more will join up enroute. Thanks for your consideration.
