Indianapolis Meet (7/10-7/11)
hbelkins:
Any updates on the activities, daily meet-up site, etc.?
I've already got my trip north planned on Thursday. Gonna get all the tier of counties one county west of the Ohio state line on the way up, all the way to Noble County, then south along the next tier of counties west.
Counties to be visited include Jennings, Rush, Fayette, Henry, Delaware, Blackford, Wells, Huntington, Whitley, Noble, Kosciusko, Wabash, Grant, Madison and Hancock.

I'm looking forward to this meet! See you guys there. :)

Well, July is almost here, and the Indy meet is fast approaching! The two-day event is taking place on Fri., 7/10, which will feature a corridor tour of the future I-69 southwest of Indianapolis...and much more, as well as on Sat., 7/11, which will highlight freeways, roadways and projects of note in the Indianapolis area.
Our base of operations each day will be at the northwestern US 421 interchange off of I-465 (Michigan Rd., Exit #27)...specific destination TBA. I'm figuring, right now, we'll probably kick things off around 9:00 AM EDT each day. Also, we're currently working on feature spots for Thursday & Friday evenings around the Indianapolis area, including hitting the vicinity of the Indianapolis Speedway one of those nights. I will aim to get that info up by this weekend.
We hope to see some of you out there for some fun in the Indiana sun...well, at least hopefully not in the rain. Remember, as things are set up, if you can't make it out for the entire event, we hope you will be able to join us for either one tour or the other. Please message me, or post here, if you are able to join us for either day or both days, or if you have any suggestions for either tour, or for our evening events.
Thanks. See you at Indy!

Might I humbly suggest the Microtel Inn, 9140 North Michigan Road? By coincidence, that's where I am staying! :-)
This is good news for me since when I asked to redeem my free nights I put the one on Rockville Road as my first choice and it was full, and they gave me Michigan Road as my second choice. So I will be in the area already with my overnight accommodations and will be able to get to the meet site in only a matter of minutes with no crosstown travel required.

I left a message with my dad about the meet. Hopefully, we can talk more about it when I see him this weekend, but if he plans to be in town and offers me the guest room, then I'd most likely be down for it. It must be most people are getting rooms near Michigan and I-465, and I could do the same should Dad not want to offer his place. Dad may want to attend Saturday's events (he most likely would have to work Friday).
As for stuff to do in Indy, it has quite a vibrant downtown, and I'm sure there'll be something to please just about everyone. As for the Speedway museum, I can't imagine that it's open later than 5pm, but then I'd have to check to be sure. The NCAA is also headquartered in Indianapolis, and it has a museum located along the White River Park.
