HP convention in Iowa - driving from the west?

A person just joined the HP Club and wants to attend her first convention, Iowa, in a couple weeks.

If anyone is driving from the west and can pick her up at the Omaha airport, late Friday morning, and return Sunday, let me know.

Also, she'd like to share a room in Worthington (female non-smoker).

Beckie & I will be travelling from CO to Iowa on Wed July 22nd for the
Konvention. We will be driving out I-80 through NE, and possibly visiting
Seward & Dodge cohps in northeast NE. There is a small chance we will cut
over into Iowa and visit Iowa Prom Point Carroll IA cohp, and 2 miles away
Crawford IA cohp, then straight N to Sibley and Hawkeye Point.

We are of course staying at the host hotel, the Comfort in Worthington MN.
We can post notices by the Merc there.

On Thur July 23rd I was hoping to spend much of the day cohping. I would
like to do some variation of the following. Warning - this is a bit
ambitious, but not overly so. FYI - I have a few IA cohps due S of Osceola
(Hawkeye Point) but that's it in the area.

>From Worthington MN, head E on I-90 about 100 miles to Faribault and
Freeborn MN cohps, both easy. From there, head S then SW into IA, visiting
Kossuth (Moderate), Humboldt (Easy), Webster (Mod), Calhoun (Mod), then
northwestward to Pocahontas (Easy), Palo Alto & nearby Emmett (both Mod),
west a bit to Clay (Mod), north to Dickinson (Easy), up to Martin MN
(Easy), west to Jackson MN (Easy) and arrive in Worthington. Total of 13.
Possible for part of group to break off and bag Buena Vista, Cherokee,
O'Brien IA (all Easy).

For Friday, I would like to get back early, so am envisioning a more modest
schedule, sticking to MN. I was thinking of heading northeastward to
Watonawan (Easy), Brown (Easy), Cottonwood (Mod), Redwood (Mod), Murray
(Mod), and Nobles (Easy), arriving back to Worthington, in a large
counter-clockwise circle loop. We could bag the Pipestone Nat Mon HP if
people wanted to, and if so could also hit Rock (Mod). Total of 6,
perhaps 7-8 places. I want to be back by 3 or so. Others could go on
further. I need beer....

A close one I have left off is Lyon IA (Mod) which is not far west of
Sibley. Perhaps Saturday morning after breakfast, and before the Hawkeye
Point festivities?

There are many more cohps further southwest in Iowa, and northwest in MN
and SD. More adventurous souls could test those waters..... Fred Lobdell
has mentioned focusing his efforts in the latter direction.

I would like to meet at the Comfort Inn lobby about 7AM on Thursday,
perhaps slater on Friday. We could all agree to get breakfast at a
convenient spot, perhaps a McDonalds.

Please chime in with your thoughts, if you plan to attend the Konvention.
I look forward to seeing many fellow cohpers. I know Ryan Courtney will be
there. Beckie too. Maybe Gerry Roach will come, be sure to stick him in
your vehicle for a few hours and listen to his stories if he does come.

Mary and I will be at the Pre-Convention Ice Breaker on Thursday evening.  I would be interested in joining the outings on Friday as long as I get back in time for beer.
 
I would also be interested in going out on Saturday morning.
