Every year, several people take it upon themselves to organize groups of SHO's traveling to the conventions.  To help that process, if you want to be the organizer, please fill out the ONLINE FORM and let us know! If you want to be PART of a caravan, just look below and contact that caravan's organizer!  We will post caravan info here for all to see. You can also send us an E-mail with your name, contact info and if organizing a route, the starting and stopping points and times for each day, and the stops along the way. 

From the Central Illinois area
The Mallinson clan (Don and Jan) will once again be taking off from Central Illinois hosting a caravan; more details to come. As it stands now, we may not go through Salt Lake City. The route Jan and I are looking at takes 76 through Denver and then 50 to Sacramento etc. This also takes us near friends just south of Carson City.

Texas
Here’s the proposed route/timing for the Texas-California Caravan.  

The assumptions made are that we leave Fort Worth on Saturday Morning around 7:00am, and that we average 70mph.  That should not be too difficult, as that is the speed limit in most of the territory that we are covering.  Also, the below times do not include the time to actually stop and refuel/eat.  But this will give an approximate overview.  We can work out details as we get closer, and know for sure who is coming along.  I know this is two long, hard days, but it gives us a Monday to sleep in, clean up the SHOs and fix whatever we broke on the trip.

We will be using FRS radios for inter-car communication, so grab one if you don’t already have one. Feel free to e-mail me at kerbyh@netzero.net for suggestions and complaints.  Although, don’t expect me to react to the complaints! J Your humble Trail Boss, Kerby

The tentative route puts us in/around Wells or Elko Nevada on Sunday night for our stop. This is 480-530 miles for our drive on Monday, and if we leave at 8:00 AM MDT, we can be at the hotel in Vallejo by 4:00 PM PDT. I considered SLC, but that adds 2-4 more hours of driving. If there are SLC folks who want to join us, I would recommend either (1) hook up with us as we pass through SLC on Sunday and stay at the hotel with us on Sunday night, or (2) leave early Monday morning and meet up with us at our Nevada stop and drive with us on Monday.

After 775 miles on Saturday and 825-875 miles on Sunday, a 'slightly" shorter drive would work better for us on Monday! FWIW, Wendover would have been a good Sunday-night stop mileage-wise, but there virtually no hotels for miles around there!!
