Who lives in Illinois?

Moab itinerary!

Listen up. I know we won't even try to make it to Moab driving non-stop so we have to figure out where we're gonna crash for the night. I just came up with two choices for now. From Chicago to Moab is like 1350 miles so I figured that somewhere on the border of Nebraska and Colorado would be great. Two places: one in North Platte, NE, that's like 740 miles from Chicago @ $33.00 per night and another in Sterling, CO, that's 880 miles @ $49.00 per night. Can we make it all the way to Sterling? I'm figuring that it will take us about 14-15 hours to get there with all the stops. Share your thoughts on this. Some of you are even further (Ohio) so please, let's just set something so we can get rooms booked. Hope this helps a bit.

You can add me and my wife to the list.

Hello Dennis! The list is growing longer every day. I hope all you guys show up. It's gonna be something. Don't you think that we should go and see the manager of Hooters? They might not like the idea of all the trucks in his lot.
Heck, we'll see.

Updated list:

Andre
Pete (RFR2212)
Austin (COMMOCOZY)
Eric (Cameron)

Which HOOTERS will it be?

 

[COMMOCOZY]

The one by Woodfeild Mall in Schamberg (spelling)

 

[Cameron]

Outstanding!

11 people and counting! I’m going to stop by Hooters tomorrow and see if I should make reservations or something. Also, I will talk with the manager about a photo shoot with some of the Hooter girls! Thanks to RytM1 for the photo idea and COMMOCOZY for the Hooters suggestion! So I’ll let you know what they say!

 

[RytM1]

Parking shouldn't be a problem, they have a huge lot at the office building behind them that's usually empty on weekends. Hopefully, the manager will go for it, without all the "legality" issues, although I don't think anyone here will use the pics in an inappropriate manner. Thanks for getting on that right away Cameron.

 

[Dre]

Sounds like this might be a great beginning for the NIEC. Like an Explorer owner get together. We might be able to draw some attention. Wait, let me make a few phone calls. I think I should talk to some people at ABC and others. lol

Who's not on the list?

Guys....I've got an idea....okay, I'm back the Feb 10, 11, 12 and I hear the Auto show is in town that weekend....if so, anyone wanna meet up...go to that and then hit up hooters to wrap up the night?
Pete

 

[Dre]

yeah but I would strongly advise to visit the Auto Show sometime during the week if you can. Weekends suck. There would be zillion people there on the weekend. Any more feedback on Pete's suggestion?


Later,

 

[RichSport94]

Pete if you are talking about the Chicago Auto Show at McCormick place, I definitely want to go, I missed last years and really regret it.

 

[Quick]

I think I'm going to get some free tickets to the Auto Show, so I'll end up going (hopefully). Though I don't know if you guys want to hang around with a youngin' like me.

 

[RichSport94]

You think your the only young guy. Riff (Scott), Pete (RFR), and I are all about the same age: 20.

 

[Quick]

Well unfortunally I'm 3 years younger than that. Yep, only 17. Would kind of feel out of place.

 

[RFR2212]

Dude, it's Hooters! Yer a male, you'll fit right in....Andre, I'm gonna go some time that weekend cause of school....I know weekends tend to be bad but last year I went on a weekend and it wasnt bad at all...I still plan on goin....Um I'm 19 btw.
Pete

 

[riffman]

explorer explorer explorer explorer explorer DODGE explorer explorer explorer

oh well..what can ya do...

 

[Dre]

Age does not matter, does it? what do you think this is? a retirement community of some sorts? lol

Well, Quick? are you coming? you might not be allowed inside the Hooters but you can always bring your own, lol,,,,,,, just kidding.

Sign up everybody,

and Riff, get your truck in here. That's the main reason we're meeting, to see all the rides. or you just want to show off in your new ride?

well?
