Yeh yeh
Here's my $.02. The Plymouth Meeting mall works out well, was going to suggest that since it's just off the Blue Route as well as the NE ext AND the regular turnpike. Only problem I know of is that I don't know how to go from the NE Ext to the mall - I somehow miss it everytime I try to do it since it is a popular spot to meet.
The parking lot between Ikea & Strawbridges was also my next suggestion - very easy to get to, can't miss it. Might be getting crowded around that time, but sure it won't be hard to miss people.
As for a time, how does this sound? I say we all meet at the mall parking lot at 9:30am. BE there at 9:30, or at least plan to. We will plan to leave the lot BY 10:00am. This way, people that have a little bit of a hike don't need to kill themselves to get there real early as Friday at Carlisle isn't a critical day to get there early (Get there early and you WILL get stuck in traffic.) Any objections?
(Oh, and Dave, we can still meet off exit 4 of the Blue Route since I'm taking the Blue Route to the mall, but you pass the mall when you get off the turnpike, so it's a wasted trip down to my place for you. But then again, like I said, I have no clue how to get to the mall from the NE ext - I've only tried twice and messed up both times!)
