Hey Ace, first congrats on your wedding. May you have many years of bliss and happiness!

As for the directions, they are just what I was looking for. Mapquest show route 33 W just off of I-81. Here are the directions I was given. See if these look like they are pointing me in the right direction to hit 33 so I can meet up with you and the others at the Shell station:

Thanks again ACE for the clarification on the directions. I am basically packed and ready for the trip next week so it is just the misc stuff to throw in the Runner when time comes.

BTW, I plan to leave in time to get there by 10:00am ( bout 5hrs drive)but if I am running a bit late, what CB channel will some of you be on so I can holler at you as I get closer to the station? Is there a standard one you use? Lemme know. Oh, I almost forgot, the stickers are in hand and turned out awesome! I found a backdrop of the GWNF off the states official site and had my graphics guy put it together with text banner of Fall Colors Ride '04 and then GWNF just below it. They be lookin good man! I hope everyone likes em.
