Since it seems this is a Nomadic trip and based on who is going so far I am thinking down through Ripley, you can meet us there. That puts us all in the same spot at the begining of the trip. Then we cut through to Lexington and maybe down that route you and I took last fall and stay in Townsend. Gonna be a long day for the CLE peeps but f' em, they will get over it.
On the way back I am pondering, but maybe we can get to Beckly WV by Saturday night. That isn't too bad for you, rest of us can blast up 16 to get home.
