Centralia, PA trip Oct 24

[KJJosh]

yea, i will be picking a place that should be easy to find... there is a hotel/motel just off exit 119 on 81. i think it is a Howard Johnson or something like that... can anyone confirm? that is where I am thinking we could all meet, parking lot has plenty of space for all the jeeps to meet up and not be on the side of the road or something...

Don -

Looks like the address is 100 Keystone Blvd East, Interstate 81, Exit 119, Pottsville, PA 17901. If that is correct google is showing that to be a Country Inn & Suites. Is this the correct location??? I agree that it does have plenty of spaces for all of the jeeps.

Josh,

from your description, that sounds like the correct place. I use Bing Maps and could not get a solid address or anything on that spot... I thought it was a Howard Johnson from looking at it from their birds eye view... from my direction, i would be going 81S getting off at 119, making a Left going up and making the 1st Left I believe after i cross under 81... if you are going 81N, exit 119 make a Right, then 1st Left to get to the hotel/motel...

Thanks for getting the address Josh

Based on your directions i think we are talking about the same spot... So is this our "official" meeting location??

not yet, I looked up the addy you gave, found a phone number to call. I want to call them just to make sure that it is ok for us to meet there first. i dont want to give us jeepers a bad name by just assuming that we can meet there and then have the cops escort us off property. I would rather ask and be safe than assume and be wrong. I dont see why they wouldnt let us use their parking lot as a staging area especially since we would be there in the middle of the day and only there for maybe an hour tops...

I will know by the end of the week if we can use that place to meet at.
