Bring your friend - he's more than welcome - but hey, talk him into competing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickr104 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 What time do you want to start? What time would you like us there? That way we can get the guys at the park and ride at the right time. TO car pool over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way we can get the guys at the park and ride at the right time. TO car pool over. Start time is 11 AM - be nice if everyone could be here by 10:15 or so - we have some paper work to do for a lot of you still. Then go over the rules real quick and try to get started right on time. It's about 30 minutes from the Park and Ride to my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickr104 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I would guess if we all meet at the park and ride At Exit 132 SR13 off of 70 around 9:30. Dose that sound good to everyone? THen we can park some of the cars and get everyone into a car. How many will be coming to the park and ride to meet us? Just to get an idea.

THen we can park some of the cars and get everyone into a car. How many will be coming to the park and ride to meet us? Just to get an idea. Since my wife is dropping me off at the contest, if possible, maybe she could just kick me out at this park and ride and I can grab the back seat in someone's car??? She would, of course, be able to pick me up at Chris's house, since I intend to stay until Chris says, "umm, could you please leave, like now".

nickr104 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I am sure we will have a spot for you Eric. Are you staying In Columbus ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Well we finally have trophies - after a nightmare of problems and technical issues, and me starting to get a little worried if they would ever be done - we have them done and I'm real happy with them. It's my own design and making and kind of different - I hope everyone likes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I am sure we will have a spot for you Eric. Are you staying In Columbus ? Thanks, Nick. We'll be shopping for hotel as soon as we get off the plane in Columbus. I'd like something fairly close to the park and ride. Anson mentioned a Best Western on 1-70. Do you have any suggestions?

Scott Styles Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Eric, This hotel is where I, Mike, Josh, and Dan have reserved rooms. It is close to the park and ride: http://www.super8.com/Super8/control/Booki...;propBrandId=SE Super 8 Motel - Buckeye Lake OH I-70 & State Route79 Exit 129A P. O. Box 1206 Buckeye Lake, OH 43008 US Phone: 740-929-1015 Fax: 740-928-2115 Nick, I am planning to leave from the park and ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How nice you looking for Eric? They have some real nice places near the airport off 670 and 270. Also some good ones along 70. The Buckeye lake super 8 probably is not the best place in the word , but it is as close as you will get to the exit off of 70 for the park and ride. I myself would stay a little closer to C-bus and get a nicer place since you got the wife and stuff. http://book.bestwestern.com/bestwestern/pr...pertyCode=36128 Is this the one Anson was talking about? Looks good to me. Anything you get on the east side is not that bad of a drive to SR13 off of 70. We live on the south west side so we have to add 25 mins. on to our trip just to get to the east side. If any of you guys want my # In case you need to call PM me. We sould probably make the meet time 9:00 just so we are sure to get there around 10:15 It should be a good time. Looking forward to hanging out with everyone. I hope this helped Eric.

jad Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Is Buckeye Lake Super8 just crappy or dangerous/shady? I'm more worried about ID theft with my credit card number for the room vs. unfriendly environment. Thanks, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more worried about ID theft with my credit card number for the room vs. unfriendly environment. Thanks, Josh There's not anything around in the way of a town per se - I really doubt there would be any trouble - I stop and eat at that exit all the time and it's not bad at all. I wouldn't worry much about it - it's just a smaller cheaper hotel than some of those closer to Columbus. It's not the Ritz but I would trust the place myself.

I would be all over the cheapest, not so fancy, type motel if I was alone. It would be cool to stay with Scott, Josh, and the gang, but like you say, Sandy's with me and her standards are higher. Thanks for all the help, guys. So, should we all meet at the park n' ride at 9:00? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch1963 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I think Chris ought to install a webcam so chickens like me could watch the contest over the internet. Seriously someday I will make it to a competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be driving my own car to Climbers: I have an Inch replica to haul back so I wouldn't want to take a chance on it damaging anybody's vehicle.

Mitch - start making plans to attend next year - as for the web cam - heck I had to ask someone to video it for me - technology and I are at war - and I'm afraid it's way ahead!
