There are a few of us thinking about making the drive out to Maryland and attending the East Coast Bimmerfest. Just kind of wondering if anyone else was thinking about going??

I am considering heading out sometime on Friday Aug 5th, hopefully meeting up with some fellow M5'ers, getting out to MD in the early evening, and starting the party. I plan on heading back Monday morning.

The wifey is going with me, amazingly, so if any of you are thinking about bringing the Misses, they will have company.

My plan now:

Leave Friday Aug 5th around noon or 1pm.

Meet up with anoyne who is on the way to MD. (NY, PA, where ever)

Arrive in MD Friday night around 7-8pm, hopefully.

I plan on staying near Adam's house (Clemster) which is 45 min from Bimmerfest. I will spend the majority of my time with him and don't mind the 1 hour caravan over to the meet Saturday morning. I have the info on the hotel we stayed at last year, which was pretty nice except for the restaurant. It took us 1 hour to get our food last time. Wtf?

Saturday, obviously go to Bimmerfest, then head back to the hotel, get cleaned up, and go to dinner to enjoy some of MD's amazing food. That restaurant we had last year was awesome Adam, parking was perfect too. After the restaurant, we can party anywhere you guys want to, but we WILL party and consume mass quantities of frosty cold adult beverages. Peter, let your beautiful bride know I will bring some plastic spoons. Lol.

Sunday, I will be attending Clemsterfest 2011!! Enjoy some gravel brats for lunch and get some more MD food Sunday night.

Monday, we will head home first thing in the morning.

Thoughts?

Your plans look sweet, I wouldn't mind hanging closer to all the guys who ended up at Timmayfest. I probably would stay at the same hotel then and do look forward to buying you a nice cold drink Tim!

What happens at Clemsterfest? This is actually within driving distance, subscribed.

Once we establish who all is going, we need to layout waypoints, meeting times, and figure out a route. Is everyone on board with the schedule of the Ohio crew leaving around noon on Friday?

Yesterday I ran into another member driving his beast on 390. It was sweet!

Been looking at the map.....

It is a straight Southern route for you NY boys. It doesn't look like we will be caravanning to this one! Not unless you WANT to travel West for a few hours. LOL.

Mike, we can meet you in Washington, PA, 2h 45m after leaving my place if that works for you. It is directly on our route. Right now, it looks like we will be leaving my house around 12-1pm. Chris is driving up Friday morning and rolling with me. I think Brian (Lunker325) might be coming as well.

As far as coming home. I was thinking about either just staying Sunday night in MD or starting the drive back late evening, somewhere around 7-8pm and just stopping 3-4 hours en route and getting a hotel for the night.

Thoughts?

Oh, I booked my room as well.....

Avoid the sunday night rush to get back is my advice. In MD, traffic can be a real pain in the butt on the main highways as people rush to get back before the work week starts. I'm sure once you get out of the suburbs, you'll be fine; but, if you're going to get a hotel, you might as well avoid all the hassles you can.
