***New Dragon Thread*** Caravan info
please reply in this thread if you are going and where you are coming from so I can plan a caravn and pick-up points for those in Fla or Ga who may want to tag along
current plan is to pick up any N Florida people on 75 just North of I-10...working on a place for GA
I am looking at meeting Tampa folks at 5am and leaving by 5:15....N Florida that should put us there by 8am
pick up point for Tampa Clearwater folks.....
rest area between SR56 and SR54 mile marker 277 or 278 I think
http://mq-mapgend.websys.aol.com/?e=...c%26yt29%40%24
larger map:
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp...te=fl&zipcode=
for anyone up Jax way we can meet at exit 439....
http://mq-mapgend.websys.aol.com/?e=...c%26yt29%40%24
as you get off the exit it loops you back and there is a little gas station directly across the way...met folks there for the trip to Cruise in...worked out well....
***********times for meeting are tentative right now check back....

You mean 985...? I've gone that way 19/129 or 441/23 via I-85.
19/129 is more singular whereas 441/23 is two-lane really spread out.
19/129 is far more twisty but a few more little towns, 441/23 is rather
non-stop but a little boring.
