Reapercon Caravan, 2021

[Sylverthorne]

Yup, we're doing this again.

Anyone else who's planning to drive may feel free to chime in; we'll be rolling down from Washington, but wherever you're coming from, welcome to post!

 

More details as plans evolve, of course.

Since I quite recently have acquired a real, actual, grown-up salaried job, my vacation days are going to be quite limited for...quite awhile. So as much as I'd like to go on a Most Epic Road Trip, I think in the interest of time I'll have to fly this year. :(

 

Huzzah!

I'll be driving.  In the car for an excruciating hour and across 1 and a half whole counties!

Job = good!

Insufficient Vacation for Roadtripping = not good!

 

 I feel I should ask; should we make a note of dropping by for lunch? And, would you like our assistance with Hyuge Dragon Transport again?

There's a better than average chance our path will lead us through your neck of the woods, either way.

I will be driving from Virginia. Happy to join any caravans coming from the east coast.

Thst would be lovely!  You can see our new place (it's only a couple miles from the previous one, not hard to find), and we can do foods.

 

I'll have to think about whether I'm bringing Ma'al this year or not; I'm hoping to have a smaller example of LOOK SHINY done by then. However, if my entry plans work out, I might request a ride for a large aquatic tentacle monster from space. 

 

Huzzah!

I wanna take another shot at riding this year if you don't mind a tag-a-long.

You are welcome to also stop by for foods! If we time things right, we could all do lunch together.

Don't mind at all! We might snag on the scenery occasionally - seeing stuff is On The List - but I sort of expect pauses for leg-stretching and whatnot.

Ooh! Yes. That would be fun. You warned Mr.Boot, right?

This would be a fun thing to do, but alas my vacation time is just a week + flights are booked (thou I do need to inquiry about that as I got a email the other day with a flight change (whole 5 mins later!!!!!) but at the  top of the email I had a flight of Chicago to somewhere in South Carolina & was a 25 hr trip......)

Our wagon will be on the road, but likely a different one than yours.  Most of the route, at least.

We enjoy a good road trip and look forward to the drive to Denton.  It's 16h for us without stops from the eastern midwest.  We'll break it up into 2 days - first leg after work Tuesday, driving through the day Wednesday to be onsite in time for the meet and greet.  We've had a couple of different formats going home - one year we did it in one shot (never again!) and in 2019 we departed after the Auction and made it as far as Tulsa before finding a hotel. 

 

This year I'm using the trip as the milestone wherein I need to have a new vehicle.  Will be our shot to break it in 'right.'

I'll be driving down from Iowa, North of Des Moines for a lovely 10 hour, 37 minute drive, possibly on Tuesday before the convention. Thankfully I have a 2-room corner suite at the Embassy to relax in before the Wednesday meet & greet. Not looking forward to the drive back. Lol.

Yeah I’ve done the 13 hours to and from Atlanta a few times. I fly now. If I had like 2-3 people with whom to carpool, and we got along well enough, it could be a fun tradition to start. I just don’t know any other local painters. 

[Jeepnewbie]

We will be driving over from GA. Planning on being there for the Meet & Greet.
