Do you have definate arrangements for Wednesday night in PA?

Actually, was planning to book accommodations this week and settle on the PA stop. Was hoping to get some input from you (and rest of the crew) on where would be a good place to stop. Looking for a decent inexpensive hotel just off the interstate that won't have us running too much risk of having the cars stolen/broken into/vandalized etc. Hard to know which would be the best place.
Is Lenhartsville the best choice? We were thinking maybe Harrisburg (get more miles down on the Wed) but not sure if that's got some good options or not.

I don't know Harrisburg that well to speak intelligently. I can tell you that Fogelsville area is pretty nice and that's exit 45 off of I78 and about 10 minutes East of Daves shop. There are plenty of hotels/motels there. BUT, staying there means an early morning and 11 hrs of driving. The farther west/south you get, the later you can sleep and the more miles you can put down Wednesday.

I txted Whoopie who lives in Harrisburg, hopefully he'll hop in here and give his opinion and offer some insights.

Harrisburg is an hr south of Lenhartsvill, so we'd be passing through around 9....

Whoopie, reporting for duty.

I plan to meet up with you guys at ~9AM on RT 81 around mile marker 69 (giggity).

You wanna stop in at the Turkey Hill off that exit, or just call when you hit exit 77 and I'll meet you on the road?

Yep. The only thing I *need* to do is re-wire my front primary injector at the injector. I will be driving it down rear interior installed or not.

If you want to stop near Harrisburg right on 81 outside of the city, may I recommend one of the hotels at the truck stops off Exit 77 (rt 39). There are several there.

If you stop in at the Comfort Inn there, I can tell the General Manager to keep an extra close eye on the parking lot that night as my company owns that hotel.

If you want to leave earlier, beat the traffic and take the leisurely route/pitstops/food thing, we can communicate via cell phone and pick a spot farther south to meet, or leave later? I dunno... what do you think?

It's really a crap shoot with B-more traffic, so I think I'd be better off leaving early to beat it. According to Mapquest, if you start from Lenhartsville PA & I start from home, we both have about a 3 hour run to Strasburg VA. Given my planned start time, I should arrive there by 1000 or so. By then I won't mind stopping for a food break, so you guys will probably catch up with me. Did you have a meeting point picked out in Strasburg?

That sounds like it might be a winner. I'll try Exped-locity-hotels.com shortly to check on some rates and availability etc.

Cool, thanks.

Probably stop off at the Turkey Hill and grab a coffee or some Turkey Hill Iced Tea or something. I like it. Is it literally right off the highway? Easy on Easy off?

Meeting ya on the rd I feel has the potential for bad shit to happen. Either we'll fly right past ya, you'll attract the attention of a piggy, who knows. Probably better to meet off the highway. Quick meet though, gotta get to Strasburg by 11.................... ish

What's the traffic like around Hburg @ 09:00? Cuz where I am it's a bloody fucking nightmare

I don't have a spot picked out, I really have no idea where we could meet. Perhaps Rxtacy cold chime in? He seems to know the area somewhat well. If no one knows of a spot than I'll hop on Google Maps and find a spot with a restaurant and a gas station near by right off the highway. That way you can enjoy some b-fast and we'll just gas up, hook up, and split at a high rate of speed..... well, as high as the truck will let us

So are you planning on meeting us at that Turkey Hill place @ 09:00 on Thursday? That would be really fucking kewl

Redshft · 04-13-2011, 07:44 PM

I think so. Trying to find a hotel in Harrisburg as we speak... although I'm not sure what Turkey Hill is.

Turkey Hill is a local gas station convenience store chain.

Brian,

Yes it is right off the highway, you can see the ramps from its parking lot.

Take Exit 69, turn left at light at end of ramp. Turn left at next light, Turn left into T-hill.

Redshift. It is very easy to get to this place. Coordinate by phone when you're here.

Edit: Also there's a red 3rd gen with CF hood that drives past there a lot. I don't know who it is 'cause I just started seeing it the other day. With any luck he'll drive by and bricks will be shat.

Not be me... I own a MazdaSpeed rep CF hood

I'd be curious as to who it is and if he's aware of what's taking place in his backyard...

I was thinking more along the lines of him looking up at T-hill going what the shit than us being amazed at his ride.

I don't really know Strasburg it's just where I would hit 81 so I used it as a point of reference. I can look at google maps maybe find a Wawa or something.
