Avenger ForumZ is planning another STL area meet & greet on Saturday, September 4th and we wanted to know if anyone from GPMM was interested in coming. We had a few GPMM members showed up for the last one on Labor Day weekend and it was a lot of fun. I know there are other events that weekend but in case some of you in the STL area can't make the GPMM gathering that weekend, we thought we would give you another option.

So here is the plan so far. We don't have an exact meeting time yet, but it will probably be around noon unless that is a problem for someone. We will follow this route:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=MO-100+W&daddr=August+Bottom+Rd+to:High+St+to:MO-94+E+to:State+Hwy+T%2FHwy+T+to:State+Hwy+D+to:38.6 27734,-91.060181+to:MO-47+S+to:MO-100+E&geocode=FbQOTAIdMo6T-g%3BFTdwTAIdvIuT-g%3BFaKMTAIdUDmV-g%3BFUi_TAIdtP2V-g%3BFapHTQIdnMWU-g%3BFbytTQIdgq6T-g%3B%3BFZR5TAIdcIST-g%3BFcMOTAIdRIyT-g&hl=en&mra=dpe&mrcr=1&mrsp=6&sz=13&via=1,2,4,5,6,7&sll=38.629611,-91.040268&sspn=0.059943,0.109692&ie=UTF8&z=13

We will meet in Washington, MO at the Wal-Mart parking lot next to Colton's Steak House at noon. Washington MO is Southwest of St Louis not too far off of I-44. We may stop at the winery if we have enough interest. On our return to town, Washington, we will stop at Applebees for some grub. I believe the drive is about an hour overall and should be pretty fun. We may also stop for a photoshoot and to mingle! If you plan to ride with us, please let us know soon. Here is our list of members that will be there so far:

The meeting time for this is NOON.. please get with myself or dmac as soon as you know if you are going to be able to make this M&G.. Thanks!

Bumping this back up to see if anyone else is interested in coming. It would be great to get a bigger group together this time around but we are still a few people shy of that.

Updated the list of confirmed people. We have several more possibles, so if they show up we should have a pretty good group this year. We need some more Charger representation though.

See you all there.

Great, looks like we're going to have a pretty big group this year.

Hey Yo I was wondering if you wanted to lead the cruise this year? Sphinx probably would have done it since he made the route but he won't be able to stay for the cruise (he is still coming to meet up with everyone though). You seem to know the area so I was wondering if you wanted to do it.

If not I will do it, but don't be mad if I get us lost, lol.

Alright no problem, I'll go ahead and lead then. I have GPS on my phone so I will go see if I can figure out how to get the route programmed in. Otherwise you're right, it's a pretty easy route so a printout would do the trick.

I just hope you guys can keep up with me since I only have one driving speed, lol :p

hope its slow..........I am not really looking to go tear up highway 47 and stuff (I did that when I was 16 - I grew up close to where we are cruising).

Guess I'm a fuddy duddy....I don't need any tickets. Hell, I just dropped 900 bucks today for some goodies for the truck......so my wallet hates me! :cool:

I will slow it down for the cruise, lol. Nah, I will go ahead and lead since I have GPS. I will try to remember to bring some print outs for everyone, but no promises since I may forget with everything I have going on this week.
