72BlazerFC · 05-16-2009, 03:32 PM

Hey Banana, I'll be leaving from the Virginia Beach area. We'll have to meet up down the road somewhere. I'm deployed in Iraq right now but will be back around 2nd week of June. My unit should be on block leave during the time of the trip. I would like to leave around the 15th or 16th at the latest.

LUV2XCLR8 · 05-16-2009, 04:14 PM

My plans have changed, better for anyone coming, and I'm
available for airport pick-ups and extended lodging if it will
help anyone out cost wise. I get off at 1pm Thursday 7/16
& don't go back until 5am Tuesday 7/21. (I'm just about 75
minutes down the road from Ron's to the WEST side of TN)

1972 Banana · 05-17-2009, 09:55 PM

Consider it done friend. Looking forward to meeting you.

72BlazerFC · 05-22-2009, 02:26 PM

Banana, That sound's great. I'll let everyone know when I get back and we can definitely meet up on the road. We'll have to try and get some more Blazers to convoy with us. That would be great. Good Times for everyone.

vtblazer · 05-27-2009, 05:01 PM

We need to gather a convoy heading down from the north.

Not driving my blazer but maybe I should haul the empty trailer with me just in case...in case a brother breaks down or in case I find something I need to haul home.

1972 Banana · 05-28-2009, 09:32 PM

Thanks Ron, was really looking forward to meeting you and sharing some lies.

It's only dealing with a hernia but I'm ready to have it go away, so I took the 17th cut date, I'll be down at some point and share the ale & stories with ya, don't worry about that.

**Ron 586** · 06-18-2009, 12:33 AM

Well boys and girls we do need to have an idea of how many mouths we are going to feed. Please watch for a thread to follow wherever we are allowed to post it.

Kurt, we will cross paths if I have to do the driving. Good luck my friend.
