the directions from the website:
south on 23, east on 475, north on 75, south on 280, east on 80 to exit 118,
turn right onto route 250
that doesn't seem any simpler than teh way we usually go. We just take 280
a little further south to highway 2, and avoid having to pay the toll on 80.
I agree with the directions on one thing, though. I think it did take 2 and
a half hours. So we should plan with that.

US2 is actually considerably shorter than 80 to get to Cedar Point,
when it's not under construction.

I agree with the U.S. 2 route. That's what we always used.
I can't make it, but I'd be up for another trip. :)

Probably cell phones would be better than walkie-talkies, since there isn't
a range limitation for the phones. We'd just need to remember to trade
numbers before starting off.

re 27: Did I or anyone else ever imply that this would be the ONLY time we'd
go to Cedar Point? :)

I think I'm gonna bring a person along that expressed an interest so I may
have a car as well to stick one more person in comfortably...That person is
of course a non-grexer. so we shall see...

I guess we should talk about that starting when the weather forcast goes that
far ahead... right now we only get out to May 25 (which is super sunny in
Sandusky, OH right now). I guess it wouldn't hurt to set a rain date.
June 15th?

I don't like roller coasters and so don't plan on going, but I just
noticed the U-M Credit Union has discounted tickets for members.
They're $31 for adults. They don't have a discount for kids, but they
do sell tickets in advance for $20 each.

I know the MSU credit union has some deal.. not sure of the exact price...
and I'm a member there so I could get people discounted tickets if they want
them.

If there are similar places and there are grexers other than yourself
in your area, nothing should stop you from organizing a grexpedition in
your area, you know.

okay, so, I say we leave at 7am saturday. This gives us time to account for
rush hour traffic through toledo, potty breaks, and anyone who wants
breakfast, and at the very least means we aren't getting there after the park
opens (which means DEATH, of course).
Suggestions on a departure point?
I have a cell phone. Do others?

Boy, 7am. Normally I'd be totally happy, but I'm going to a wedding the night
before. Well, it'll probably be OK.

I'd suggest departing from Arborland (there's a Starbucks right on Washtenaw
there, a handy place to meet people) at 7:30.

<is curious whether anyone will be going on the walk that day. flying in
Friday night doesn't really lend itself to more traveling Saturday morning.>
