whole list event.

Who knows?  But it might surprise you how many will.

Thats is why the "route" idea won't work it needs to be a PLACE where we can 
meet up.  If some people want to do a "route" to the place (Indy) thats great.  
What we need to do is have a few people do the planning, once the interest in 
the event is shown, and inform the group of the details as it goes along, thus 
keeping the list traffic to a minimum.  I have volunteered my time, as Eric 
has of his time, and others as well.  If people want to do this I will help, 
if not then I have other things to do.  But, this could be a great trip!

Let the List-members speak.
