I am in and I am showing also.

Here are some directions that I got off of Mapquest. Probably the quickest route.

1: Merge onto I-78 W toward HARRISBURG/TAMAQUA. 56.9 miles Map

2: Merge onto I-81 S via the exit on the LEFT toward HARRISBURG. 8.4 miles Map

3: Take EXIT 80 toward PA-743/GRANTVILLE/HERSHEY. 0.2 miles Map

4: Turn SLIGHT LEFT onto BOW CREEK RD. 0.5 miles Map

5: BOW CREEK RD becomes LAUDERMILCH RD. 4.7 miles Map

6: Turn LEFT onto GRAVEL RD. 0.1 miles Map

7: Stay STRAIGHT to go onto N LINGLE AVE. 3.0 miles Map

8: Turn SLIGHT RIGHT onto PALMYRA RD. 0.2 miles Map

9: End at Campbelltown, PA US


That is about 75 miles so it isn't too far. The problem is that those directions only get you to Campbelltown and not right to the show. I will try to get something better. I am looking for the quickest way to 322.

The forecast is calling for showers for Campbelltown on Saturday. We will have to see what it looks like closer to the show.

Well Help a dubber out. I don't think jumping on the turnpike is the best way from Allentown. Atleast getting on the North East Extension here and going all the way down and then onto the Turnpike is definitely not the best route. Lets here some suggestions because it is in a few days and I have no idea how to get there.

You ask my friend and you shall receive
take the grantvill/743 exit like mapquest gave you. you will be on 743 for like 5 or 6 miles. You will come up a hill and there will be a stop light. the intersection is Hersheypark drive and 743. at the light trun LEFT. its a new road they put in within the last year. you will be on that for not even a half of a mile. then you will come to a light at a T. make a right. it should be N LINGLE AVE. you will go through one light that will be 422. go straight for like 2 mile untill you come to a stop sign. then make a right... then you will come to a light at 322. make a LEFT cambelltown fire dept is about a quater mile or less on the RIGHT hand side

Depending what time you guys want to roll in i cant meet up with you guys at one of the gas staions by the highway and we could roll in so no one gets lost. let me know. it wouldnt be a big deal. If anyone need s more details on the directions email me at Captainmorgan48@comcast.net and remember that the first 200 cars get a free goodie bag

Sounds pretty decent. I will put together a time roster when I get home and compare my directions with yours . We are all leaving around 8:30 so I guess we should be there By 10-11we have to get there before 12 to be able to show.
Thanks for the Help Cappy see you there =)

Hey check this out. I got some directions from APTuning. Those guys are great. I sent an IM on VWVortex to them and they sent this:

No problem...78 is definitely your best way, which brings you in north of Lebanon. Unfortunately mapquest isn't too much of a help, but the address is 3 E Main, Campbelltown, PA 17010. I would say the easiest way is 78W to 72S to 322 E. The fairgrounds are right in the middle of town right on rt. 322.

So from what I gather here are the directions:
78 West to 81 South to 72 South (exit 90 I think) to 322 East

The Fire Dept. Fairgrounds is right off of 322 in the middle of town so we can't miss it. Not to mention the Dubs that will be all around.
