Cobey: Here is some of the info posted in earlier threads:

Address for GPS: 3507 V Ave Chelsea, IA 52215

If you are coming from HWY 30, take 21 south. 4 miles south turn right on E66. Follow E66 for 3-4 miles turn right on V Ave (will have GTG sign) first place on right at the top of the hill.

Closest town with food and fuel is Belle Plaine 15 min away. The BP station in Belle Plaine has been one of our GTG sponsors of 2 years now. They are the local Stihl dealer too.

Closest bar is Chelsea 5 min away.

Closest motel restaurant shopping center is Tama- Toledo 20 min away.

For the wives...... Tanger outlet mall is in Williamsburg 45 min away.

Iowa City is right at an hour away.

Marshalltown is 45 min as well in the opposite direction.

ADDRESS IS ACTUALLY 3507 V Ave Chelsea , IA not 3705
All other info looks good and accurate.

Updated, Thanks Ronaldo!

I will be coming up from KC on I35. When I get to Des Moines, which is the better option, turnoff on 235 going around the lower right side of the city or just stay on I35/80?

 

[Homelite410]

I can't tell you that maybe nathan can chime in on that one however it is best to take 330 to Marshalltown then highway 30 over to the get together.

 

[Oliver1655]

So that would be better than taking 80 across to 21 then north?

 

[Homelite410]

Yes, in my opinion others may differ.

 

[Oliver1655]

Thanks.

330 up to marshalltown is a diagonal, so it's a shorter distance. I35/80 is what I would stay on since you're already on I35, then look for the Marshalltown exit.....I think it's 65 north and that road turns into 330.

 

[heimannm]

You can go around the south side of Des Moines on 5/65 which may be less traffic than I35/I80 round the north side. Continue on 65 to 330 if you want to go that way, or go east on I80; I doubt it makes 5 minutes worth of difference. 5/65/330/30 will be a bit more scenic. I80 carries a lot of traffic...

By the way, I plan to be home on Friday 25th in case anyone wants to stop by and see a few old Mac's, I will be in Chelsea on Saturday 26th.

IF you are hitting des moines between 6:30-8:30am or 3:30-6pm I would take 5/65 around the south end of DSM instead of I/80 for sure due to heavy traffic on the west/and north ends of DSM. But Mark is right it only makes a >4min difference as long as you aren't hitting rush hour traffic then it could be 10-15mins longer hitting I/80. That and they have been working on I/80 north of 5/65 forever now and will slow you down...

ALSO....

Anyone got a 17-23HP 1" vertical shaft engine laying around they aren't using?

Got a clean Cub Cadet but the Kohler Command 20hp is smoking. Not sure of the problem yet but thought if you're coming and have a spare engine laying around; I might need it...
