Dayton, Ohio GTG July 25th @ 8:00am

[dmbluebeetle]

This is my first GTG here in Dayton, Ohio and I hope to get more going as I get better at setting things up.

The link below is for the meeting point to start the GTG at 8:00am.

From there the plan is to visit Wright Brothers Memorial and Interactive Center, then off to the Air Force Museum. After that we are heading over to BD's Mongolian Grill at "The Greene" for lunch.

After lunch we can drive downtown to see a couple of monuments, then visit the Wright Bicycle Shop.
Hopefully the weather will be nice and provide some good photo op's.

There are several Hotels and Motel's close by for people who might want to spend a night near the Mall at Fairfield Commons if they have to travel far for the GTG.

The AF Museum is at least a full day for folks who've never been there--you just doing a "drive-by"? As many times as I've been down to events and visiting the AF Mus. I've never made it to the Wright Bros. Memorial or Shop. Can't make this trip because of work, hopefully you'll get a good turnout.

The Museum opens at 9:00am, I had planned on about 2-3 hrs of looking around inside before heading back out, maybe a little more depending on how everyone feels at the time. It is a big place.

It's a shame we can't do a "drive-thru"

[Smurfy Soupergirl]

Cmon y'all...im driving 4.5 hours each way....where's the love?

Anyone else comin?? I'll be there either way

[Gus'Dad]

I am definetly coming. I might also get a co-worker of mine who has a '78 vert.

I am so excited for this, I can hardly wait.

[Smurfy Soupergirl]

Just booked our hotel

Honestly, I've been looking for a reason to take a weekend trip

[Gus'Dad]

Is it the last Saturday yet? I can't wait to go to Dayton. I'm trying my best to find other NB owners that I know to go.

I think this GTG is gonna be great!

[dmbluebeetle]

I'm hoping that everyone who comes will find it enjoyable.

BD's Mongolian Grill is a unique experience.

[Bugman]

[Gus'Dad]

Exactly one week to go!!

I can't wait and I'm getting soooo excited.

I know this will be the LONGEST week ever, but at the end I will get to meet all of you guys attending.

I can't wait!!!!!

[dmbluebeetle]

I just saw a advertisement for a Celtic Festival at one of the stopping points planned on my GTG for a photo-op, so I'm not sure if they will have that street blocked off or not, we might have to detour a little.

Paul, calm down before you explode.

[Gus'Dad]

I know, I know. I just need to chill. LOL. 5 days is'nt that long of a time.

I cannot wait to get some pics of Gus with other NBs.

I will see you all Saturday.

[dmbluebeetle]

Really looking forward to meeting everyone myself.

Paul, are your friends coming?

[Gus'Dad]

Unfortunately they cannot make it. The one with the techno blue '99 NB will be at the beach then and the lady w/ th '78 vert can't make it either.

I was hoping they would tag along but they just can't. But, Gus and I will be there for sure.

I'm sure I can come up with another GTG later.

I had hoped to go to the Volksfest19 near Columbus on August 8th, check you calendar and see if you are able to go to that.

[Growler]

You were in town for Goodguys and DIDN't Come over or even call...

Sheesh :P

Sorry I cannot make it to this GTG, it would be fun but I already have plans to drive to Michigan this weekend.

Hey, best of luck guys, sorry I can't make it - it's a busy time of year for me, and I just can't fit it in.

If there's some interest on a fall colors rolling rally somewhere that would be a day trip for everyone - maybe in the Buckeye Lake, Senecaville area, let me know.
