Default Convoy run to JK Fest from Canada

Ok guys the Canucks have sorted out some timing issues and it looks like stuff is getting set in stone.

A bunch of us will be meeting on the Canadian side of the Ivy Lea bridge at around 0815 or 0830. From there we will go in a convoy basically down 81 right into PA. My GPS is telling me it is about 5.5 hours straight there so we bank on getting to the hotel around 2 or 3 on Friday 10 Oct 08

It would be extremely cool to link up with others, as of right now we have I think about 7 JKs crossing.

So obviously if we see anyone pulled over or what not at a gas station we will pull in. We wont be hard to miss as I think the majority of us will be running the Canadian Flag somewhere on our rigs.

As far as I know we will only be doing a few stops, one for lunch and the rest for your cheap gas lol. The stops should be right off the main drag so we can be seen and link up with others. The goal would be to wheel into PA with like 20 or more, that would be nice. So if anyone is going by and sees a group of JKs with some guys in toques frying up back bacon on the side of the road sitting on our chesterfields...thats us...(not really, it isnt toque weather yet )

We will be on Ch 4 on the CBs

Most of us are also staying at the Comfort Inn, so if you want to come and gawk and us like we are zoo animals so be it.

Other than that we are a good bunch of guys (jesus we are Canadian. ALL of us are) and I for one invite anyone to my room to tip a beer or two. I am however staying with some guy from PA (Rock Sniper) so he has dibs on the second bed. Unless he snore way too loud then I am auctioning it off

Looking forward to meeting all of you.....and for the record we dont know Joe in Toronto, and yes we ALL live in igloos.

Yup....looking forward to meeting you yankees!
*cornholes* and all!

Slightly off topic, but I know pretty much all of the Canadian crew are into watching the UFC...and interestingly enough there is a fight on Saturday night. Even more exciting is St.Pierre is fighting Fitch....Canadian vs. American! Could make for some friendly competition while we have a beer or two! Anyone know of somewhere close by where we can watch it?

Can't wait guys!!! I'm pumped!

Oh man I totally didnt think about that. If anyone has a FTA Sat we could always hook that up in the room, but it would be nice to find a local watering hole to watch it at. Preferably with scantily clad waitresses

Sounds like a plan. St. Pierre is the man!
