*MN* - CED 2012 info/chat

CED MEET 2012 _ MN ROOM

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/mid-...a-meet-272398/

Date:
June 22th, 23th and 24th (Fri-Sunday)

We head out from MN early Friday morning.

Hotel Info:
Fairfield Inn - Gurnee, IL
6090 Gurnee Mills Circle East
Gurnee, IL 60031
(847) 855-8868

Rooms are being held under "Crate Engine Depot"
@ $89.99 per night plus taxes.

Friday AM meeting location:
Meeting up at 6AM
Maybe Perkins in Hudson like last year???

Keeping cost down:
* Share rooms
* Carpool - if you'd like.
* 5-10mph max over the speed limit on route out and back. The speeding tickets in Wis are spendy...trust me a few years back they pull us all over and handed them out.

what to bring:
* folding lawn chair
* hat - sun burn sucks
* sun block
* roll of quarters for tolls
* whatever it is you like to drink
* snacks / munchies
* GPS - unless you like being lost, LOL
* 2-way radios (walkie talkies)
*
*

Should you do something fun to your car? YES
P and I did the Polizei theme last year so thats now old news, please do something different.

Try to keep it clean. We will already stick out and we'd rather not have any contact with the highway patrol.

Remember your not required to do anything, this is just for fun.

Who's going from MN:
Northvibe
Kretty
Rallyracer - TBD
CrateEngineDepot

northvibe and rallyracer in the polizei car!

You MN guys are usually cool, so I'll warn you now.

Bring more than "a roll of quarters" for tolls. Prices went up, to around $1.90 I believe.

Welcome to IL!

How was it confusing? We took 45 north to 50 and then 50 to 94. Takes a little longer but saves you about $10 in tolls.

Eh, sorta. You still pay half of the cash price, so it still went up. For me to get to/from GLD from the city is still $5 with one. Was $2.50 with one before.
