As mentioned before, I stated I'd post all of the caravan departure points for each city. Here they are.

Dallas: The caravan will be leaving from Carl's Jr on I-45 South. The address is 2500 S. I-45 Service Rd. Hutchins, TX 75141. It's exit 272 on the southbound side. They will start assembling at Carl's Jr at noon, and leave for Centerville at 12:30 pm.

Fort Worth: The caravan will meet at the Starbucks inside the Barnes & Noble Bookstore at 1612 South University Drive, Fort Worth, 76107. From I-30, exit University Drive and head south. Enter the University Village shopping center on the right side of University Drive after the Conoco gas station. The caravan will leave for Centerville at 12:30pm. Arrive earlier if you wish to have a late breakfast or early lunch. There are many restaurants in the University Village shopping center.

Houston: We'll be meeting at the Cracker Barrel at 14765 North Freeway. Houston, TX 77090. Take the Airtex exit (exit 63) from either direction to get there. We plan to meet up at 12:00PM, and depart for Centerville at 12:30PM. If you would like to have a late breakfast or early lunch while you're there, you're welcome to arrive earlier than 12:00PM, but just be ready to leave at 12:30PM.

Austin: The Austin caravan will be meeting at the Dell Diamond in Round Rock at 10:30 am. They will leave for Centerville at 11:00 am.

Could we announce the cars we would be coming with. That would allow instant recognition

I won't be coming with the W116 unless i can find a windshield.
So i will come with the lowly China Blue 240D

I don't have anyone coming from LA, well, at least those who have made their intentions known. Are you thinking about coming over?

Getting psyched!

I bought a couple of cases of bottled water at costco yesterday. I'll ice them down and bring them for everyone Saturday. It's probably going to be a real scorcher!
