Well, I usually show up in downtown downers around 4:30-5ish. We will have to see what time we get done at the museum. I park down in the parking lot by the train station. Here it is.

O.K. I booked my room at the Red Roof Inn for Friday and Saturday. GDWriter, I hope you don't mind a madd, internet junkie, smoker hanging out in the same hotel. I should arrive Friday about 3PM.

P.S. I searched the net for discount codes and got my room for $43.99/day.

Never mind. I didn't see that JD had already posted an answer about Friday. Gizmo, I don't mind having you at the same hotel at all, but damn you got a smoking rate. I thought the $53.99/night I got was awfully good.

Plus, you'll get to meet my cool dog. I think Hoover's a little tired of being cooped up in the car, but he doesn't complain (unlike kids) and continues to be an excellent travel companion. We'll get to walk around a bit tomorrow before hitting the road.
