Looks to me like we'll end up with 100 people. Now I've got a handle on the number range. I'm going to need serious help to get everyone to the collection. Bob Dunahugh
 
Bob,

I'll have 3 vacant seats in the back of the CRV. The GMC's not a good idea
for the long trip because of its lack of seat belts.

Bob,
Renting a couple buses may be the way to go. The logistics of organizing cars and a crowd this size is going to be very difficult.
Keep in mind we have an opportunity to see a unique car collection. Charging a minimal cost for transportation and the ease of everyone arriving at the same time and coordinating a group this size will make this experience so much more enjoyable.
Just my opinion!
That being said Terry and I can take 2 people in our SUV.

Bob,

It is our intent to arrive at the Walmart near exit 90 the night before. We will have our dogs with us I we do not like to leave then couped up in
the coach too long. (They are both good, but there are limits.)

You said parking at the site is limited, and if you give me warning real soon, I can set the coach up to carry 6 first then 7 on each run to the site.
That looks to be about 5 miles one way.

I have to have the warning so I can put the back porch on move the bicycles we carry to it. I must know if you like this plan by Monday and that is
when the final loading will be set.

Thank you for setting this up.

If I tow, I could take 2 people in our Corvair, but honestly I am thinking Gary Coaster may be spot on!

Gary/Mike. Bus idea sounds great. BUT. I would have to have put up abou=

are willing to take some others with you in your GMC, or tod. This must be =
