mrjsbu96 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I've got no idea about your question Jim, but want to give a big AMEN to that trip! This is my 5th straight year of making the drive up from NJ on Friday night. Saturday is golf, Anchor Bar, Canadian ballet, Chippewa, Jim's Steakout, closing time, 3-4 hours of sleep, and then lot 5 at 9am!! Drive home that night around 6 or 7!

BillsWatch Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Best bet is fill up at every half tank and pick routes with enough gas stations so you can always miss a few on the way. It will take longer and cost more but you will make it. If you have a truck you can carry gas but do not carry one in a car even in the trunk - people have been known to have fumes overwhelm them even from closed containers. Memphis Jim's pictures from last year: http://members.cox.net/billswatch2/MJ/ Maybe he can stop by this year .... I'll be flying in from California if airline has gas and Northwest strike does not stop flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm going to spend about 10 days in BUFF, haven't spent that much time there since I moved away in 76.. Looking forward to catching up. So when did you move from DC to CA? Where are you living now? Where is the tailgate, same place as last years? If we can believe the 10 day forecast, it's looking perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tailgate is same place: Hammer's Lot People start getting there at 7:30 or so ... Pre-tailgate party is at Danny's (also on page above) I'll be in town Saturday night and heading to Buffalo Brew Pub and Danny's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsWatch Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Love too but I get in at 6:30 at airport (if I am lucky), beg a ride from R. Rich who should already be at Buffalo Brew Pub, and then need to head to Danny's. Saturday and Sunday until Texans are Toast . Catch up with me at tailgate or we need to do it afterwards or on Monday or another date. I'll be flying in for at one other game, probably two (free airline tickets I need to use this year).

Dirt floor and 3 OV Splits for a buck!! 427950[/snapback] Yes! Brunners on Main, That the spot...did well at that place! Enjoying this sweet sweet BUFF weather. It's like living in Air Conditioning. The gas here is nuts, no issues on the drive up last Saturday. I paid $2.92 Fri in Memphis, On Sat -$3.19 in Nashville, Louisville and Columbus for premium, reg was 2.99. As soon as I hit NW PA - $ 3.39reg, $3.69 premium..and I saw 4.09 premium on Sunday just off Route 5 in HAmburg by St Francis....ufb.. Did my best time ever 940 miles 13.5 hours.. Sunday will be a beautiful day. Saw on the news they are going to pat everyone down as we enter TheRalph, that should slow it down a bit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
