[Shotimes] RE: (OT) FRS/GMRS Radios for Convention Use

[Ron Porter]

Don,

I've done a route through MS Streets & Trips. With a Sunday 5:00 AM EDT
departure from my house, it puts me at Effingham IL (intersection of I-70 &
I-57) at 11:15 AM CDT. From that point, it is about 340 miles to the hotel
in Memphis, or about a 5-hour drive. Still gets us into the hotel between
4:00-4:30 CDT.

8:00 AM CDT in Lincoln is a "bit" too early for me (!!), plus I-57 makes
more sense coming from MI, as I-55 through IL & MO is out of the way until
I-57 meets up with I-55 in southern MO.

Wow, I thought maybe you were making part of the trip Saturday to stay 
somewhere in Chicago.

So do you want to try to meet up about 8am in Lincoln, IL?
