Just so I know how many people I might be corralling?

itsky - Not sure where you are at in Colorado, but from my point of view, looks like it'll be easiest to take I25 S to Albuquerque, NM.
Granted, all of this is just speculation, considering we haven't gotten anything hammered out, but it's a thought. Also, Valk or SRT SIX, do we know where the members are at that're going? Just so I know how many people I might be corralling? =P And like I said before, anyone down here (that isn't in SoCal, I think SRT SIX is picking that up), drop me a thread here or PM me and let me know, and I'll start putting things together.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help!

itsky - Totally understand not wanting to add an extra day to the drive. =)
tighed1 - Got your info, and I'll get in touch with you later so you can show off that shiny SRT-6 version of the car (since I've got a stock NA). =P
Valk / SRT SIX - Was looking over 'the list' and noticed that DJ and myself were the only two that are in Arizona that are going to St. Louis. I did notice, however, that there is the one NM volunteer, ZOZ, a person in OK going, and a handful in TX. I was wondering if I should start coordinating with them? Thanks for the input!

re: Join our first Crossfires Across America Rally - St.Louis, Mo. June 22, 23 & 24 -2010
Is there any possible way to somehow get an interactive map posted somewhere so everyone can pinpint their locations?? I think this would be a lot easier for those trying to coordinate logistics with folks they may have never met. Just a thought.
Looking forward to the GTG, but as Scott eluded to the fact, I think the turnout is going to be less than we were hoping because a lot of people can get away for a day or two around a weekend trip (like the Dragon or Woodward) but to have to basically take an entire week off is going to be a tall order for many, especially those with children who only get to take one 'long' vacation per summer. I understand there is no way to change anything, nor am I advocating that, but I am bringing up a concern I am certain some will voice....

I can't beleive I'm the only one listed for Oklahoma 
. I'll PM some of the others and see if we can get a bigger Oklahoma response. This is only an 8 hour drive to St.Louis from here. What a party this is going to be.

Not a weekender in the least. That's why the dates were determined to be June 20th - 30th, so as to accommodate travel time for everyone heading out. It's going to take some planning for everyone to be able to get there, and that's why it was planned for next year, and not this year. (At least, that's my take on everything.)

Just hope that nothing lame like...WORK gets in the way of this!
So. Any plans in the works yet?
Figured that if I spend $$$ for a hotel room I'm more or less locked in to attending and can't back out!

I have a route in my mind for traveling down to St Louis, but we all have our own Ideas EH 
I will only voice the last day of the trip, Monday nite the 21st June 2010, all drivers from the West and Texas converge on Kansas City. Tuesday morning 22 June we meet up and form a convoy down I 70 into St Louis, and meet thr North , East and South drivers at the Arch, before going on to the Hotel as one large eye stopping group

This is exactly the reason that the dates are set as they are.
It will require a full week off work for the folks who have a long distance to drive.
It's better to use one week "Mon-Fri" and use the weekends on each end for travel.
Tell your employers that you have a out of state funeral to attend.
After all your dying to come aren't ya....LOL
