[Coco] CoCoFEST Road Trip

[KARL SEFCIK]

Gary,
  I've been  driving  from Dallas  for the last 2 years, never made it in less 
than 2 days 1 way, I split my trip[ up into Dallas to KC (at least, farther 
north is better) and hit a rest area for a few hours,and then do day 2, with 
rest stops. Also, my rpute goes through Des Moines,Iowa, it saves a couple of 
hours instead of going through St.Louis. But the road in Iowa is hilly. I'll 
have my car packed, as I too rent a table, wouldn't want to cut down on your 
cargo area.  Just a few thoughts.

Subject: [Coco] CoCoFEST Road Trip

It is less than 5 months until the next CoCoFEST. I have too much equipment I 
want to take to fly. Also, I really hate fling. So I am considering driving to 
the Fest. I thought it might be good to rent a van and drive there picking up 
others as I went. Here is a link to the route Google Maps plotted.

The route can easily be changed to pick up other people. Google Maps says it 
will take more than 19 hours on this route. I thought I would leave from the 
Austin Texas area some time on Thursday, arriving in Elgin in the late afternoon 
on Friday. Probably leave the Fest late on Sunday and arrive back on Monday.

I know everyone will want to know how much it will cost and I do not have any 
idea now. It will depend on the number of people, the size of the van, how far 
out of the way you are and how close you are to the fest. Might give an 
allowance for people willing to drive. If anyone is interested in joining the 
road trip send me a message. I will keep a list and we can work out the 
logistics. I know 5 months is a long time, but it will take a lot of time to get 
this type of trip planned.
