Headed to Des Moines, where is a good place to meet a member there? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I meeting Leinie from Minn and getting a one of the two blazers I bought from him, where is a good place off the interstate south of Des Moines to meet up with him? Thanks for any help!!!! Randy

Da-Burb and I met Joesjunk and his buddy at the Walmart just off I-35 on the north side of DesMoines (technically Ankeny).
Plenty of room and light in the parking lot, and the Chili's across the street was a good place to eat.
The walmart we went to is labeled 1 on this map, the exit off I35 is IA-160 W exit, exit number 90.

Yep, As Chris said, Good place to meet. What Blazer's are you getting Randy??

Thanks guys, I think he's going to rent a car when he gets there so we'll have to find a rental place.
Joe, I running blazer and I got one that doesn't run up there to get in the near future. Thanks Randy

Scrapped that rental plan, my wife is following me with the Jimmy. She changed her work schedule and got a sitter for the baby.
We plan to visit my uncle in Carlisle after meeting so south side would be better.

I would vote for the Machine Shed Resaurant at exit 124. I believe it's named Clive Ave. There's a big Flying J truck stop at the same exit, only on the West side of I35/80...they are running together at that point. Go East a few hundred feet, be on the North side of the road. We have one up here in Lk Elmo and it is great !!! Big family sized portions. So you bought the Blazers, eh', Randy ?? I don't think you will be dissappointed with your purchase.

That sounds good Mitch, surely I can find that and meet him there. A BIG THANKS to you for getting me the pics and taking the time to do it, YOUR A GOOD MAN!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again Randy

Leinie · 04-12-2004, 11:14 PM

That sounds like a good place to meet.
Mitch, I also want to say " Thank You " for all your help making this deal happen. I hope your next ride is a bit warmer

I think the Machine Shed Restaurant (a very good place to eat) is on Hickman. You may have the exit mumber correct. I don't pay attention to those. The rest of the info is correct I think.
