mini-MINI caravan from Boston area to Area 51

Mr. Paul Taylor, the General Sales Manager of MINI of Peabody offered his facilities as the gathering point for the Boston area caravan, to join the Yankee Candle/Area51 Caravan at Area 51 for MINIsOnTop, on Friday 6/15.

The departure from either location wil be no later than 11:30.

The voting will end May 20.

It's out of the way, but if a fun crowd gets together for it, I'd partake.

Well, not to pass up an opportunity to visit MOP (will there be snacks?) but meeting at Commerce Ave last year worked out very well -- it was on I93 and had a Starbucks, and was ideally suited for cars originating in the Greater Cambridge area or from 128.

Last year I drove out to Yankee Candle and met the caravan there. Meeting at MoP works for me - sign me up.

Ivan -

Everyone should be at Area 51 by 1:00 that day. That will allow time for folks to get gas in Concord, attend the Driver's Meeting at 1:45, and to check-out/choose one of the four different sub-caravans leaving Area 51 for Gorham at 2:00.

It may be prudent (with Bike Week and all) to leave MoP a bit earlier than 12:00.

Just a thought,

Theo

As much as I love MoP, I think that meeting there before heading north is too far out of the way for most folks coming from eastern Mass.

I'd be much in favor of meeting at Commerce Ave., like last year.

Of course the nice thing about MOT is that, so many are going up at the same time, that without a meetup you usually meet and can travel with a dozen or so others on your way.

Personally I don't care. I was just throwing it out there, because MoP offered

Ivan,

Would you consider keeping a list of those who will be meeting you on the first page? That way it will be easier to predict the number of folks arriving at the Area 51 meeting point.

BTW-- Check out the Yankee Candle & Area 51 Caravan website for information on the Area 51 meeting point.

It looks now there is a group that wants to meet at MoP. As we get on I-93, we could hook up with another group waiting at Starbucks off Commerce Ave. Richard?
