Only one Fiero arrived at the BBQ run destination.
I have to list this as an epic GFC fail.
I'm sorry you apparently wound up by yourself. I take it that no one met up with you at the meeting point to drive down?
I totally feel your frustration. I was scheduled to meet up with a Fiero group, and rather than wait for them to drive all the way into town, I drove hours out to meet them, at the only other waypoint on their route of which I was aware. They did eventually arrive, about 4 hours late, only to decide to leave. I was about 9 hours in, between driving and waiting, and they couldn't bother to spend some time with me. So, I got to drive all the way home by myself. A 14-hour day, for nothing. I have had this experience with several Fiero groups, which has resulted in my wife's attitude. In a way, I guess it makes me feel better, that it doesn't just happen to me.
For future reference, maybe calls to each of the expected participants could help sort things out, at least to ensure everyone wound up together. Also, was the destination address posted? Ideally, each participant should be using their own directions. Some years ago, my siblings and I were supposed to be following our parents to a particular place. My parents drove right by the location, We tried calling their phones, flashing our lights, and making hand signals. Eventually, I all but forced them off on an exit. Although we had passed the location 20 miles or so previously, their directions showed the location further on. My siblings and I turned around, and my parents followed us. I dunno where that GPS of my parents' was leading them.
