Let us know a date ASAP.

 

Kansas City is probably the more central, but St. Louis is cool also. Either city is large enough to have the hotel accommodations required and food troughs aplenty. I know the steak is great in KC!!!!

 

If you need any help in the GA, FL area, I would be glad to assist.

 

As a list of members forms it would be required for everybody to become geographically involved in the planning and coordinating in there areas to connect with others and create small convoys to the final destination.
Similar to what Danimal and several others did when coming to the Dragon meet back in April.
It's a huge task but we have a great deal of time to think it through.

 

I would love to participate but....
I live in St Louis.

Where would I drive to?

I'd be interested also.

 

Franc, that's really nice of you!

 

Franc since you won't have to travel, you will need to go around the state three times before landing at the meeting place.

 

this sounds like a great idea.Get the date set and lets have a party

 

Great idea, just let me know when and where.

 

Thanks Dan.

If everyone comes to my place, and you all are welcome to do so, I will have somewhere to drive.........AWAY!

Sounds very interesting. Kansas City or Topeka (who doesn't think "Heartland" when they hear Topeka?) would be a lot closer to the center of the US.

 

I don't think you will be able to get out of the driveway.....

 

For now... count me in
Anyone coming thru Dallas, TX and need a overnight stay in a motel, I can give you a deal for sure

 

I would love to see this happen, I think St. Louis would be a great spot, but one member did mention his mini club meeting here in Indy and getting to do a lap around the Indianapois Motor Speedway - wow that would be extremely cool....

 

This sounds fun!
Of course getting to the start point from Seattle would be... interesting.
Anyone from this side of the coast going?

 

This sounds like fun. I am a definite maybe.

 

Actually, St Louis is not a bad idea! I'm not blowing our horn here, but we do have some interesting things to see and do. Plus, there are some magnificent architectures here making for wonderful photo shots.

Old Town St Charles is just west of St Louis. Great place for shopping, eating and several Casinos. Wonderful brick streets and old French colonial buildings. Great for photos.

Wentzeville Mo is 'The Crossroads of America" and features old car club,corvette club,rat rod club functions throughout the summer. Wineries dot old HWY 94 through to Herman. A cool drive along the river with plenty of scenery, eateries and wines.

There is, of course the Arch. The Original A.B.Bush Brewery, Forest Park and the Zoo. Forest park has a lot of Greek architecture left over from the 1904 worlds fair. Great for a "Meet me in St Louis" event photoshoot.

A Crossfire Club event at a Cardinals Ball game might be a cool group function. Accross the river is Alton IL and the Great river road. The lodge at Pere Marquette puts out a fine feed and there are again shops for the gals all along the route. Check out my Gallary for some shots of that scenic trip.


I am assuming that the covergence of 100 or more Crossfires will take more than a single Saturday/Sunday to pull off. That said we should think about a four day event with multiple activities arranged kinda cafeteria style. This would give everyone a chance to taste the pleasures of their own preference as members come and go to meet their personal schedules.

St Louis is beautiful in Spring, summer and fall. But, June and early July can be unbearably hot and humid. Spring is unpredictable here. If the world endures extreme unpredictable climate change, we won't know it here 'cause that is kinda normal, especially in April, May.

Our most stable and comfortable weather is during August through early October. A Burmuda high typicaly parks over the Mississippi, Ohio river valley and we get Hawaii weather. Daily patterns of 60 - 85 degrees and occasional showers.

I would suggest late August early September as a target date, if St Louis is indeed the place you all want to end up.

I think you all are crazy but, you are all certainly welcome here!

Cathy is President of the HOA here. I thinking I'm going to get her to put no overnite parking signs up on the street.

Just a pre-emptive defense.

I'd be willing to take the road trip down from Canada. I'll keep an eye on the dates and confirm.....
