2nd executive decision, Jim suggests getting to Haymarket earlier than 12:30 pm - Anyone wishing to caravan from the north and central pa, I'll start us off in Frederick, MD at 10:00, not 11 as previously mentioned.. So who's with me? (Belushi, Animal House 1976) starting point Beckley's store, Rte 15 So and Willow Rd - Frederick MD

next thought, skip the stop in Leesburg, unless some one wants us to, and meet in Haymarket. Some body tell us where!

waddya all say?

I think it would be convenient for most drivers to meet at the intersection of Rt 29 and Rt 15. I don't have a specific store or anything for that intersection other than picking a visible parking/gathering spot so others who arrive later will not have much trouble spotting the gang. There is always the cell phone to help gather the herd. I think the intersection is convenient for drivers from Frederick because they can take 15 from Frederick and continue thru Leesburg and not do a bunch of driving around in unfamiliar territory. It's also convenient for drivers from closer to DC because we can just drive down Rt 66 then get off on Rt 29 at Gainesville. The intersection is being built up and there is probably a Sheets or other Quicky-Mart with enough parking.

We can have a cell phone number for stragglers (maybe not the "best" id but...) or people who can't meet the caravan but are using the same Rt 29 route, to catch up or call if they have mechanical problems.
