Thursday caravan to Austin - Page 2

LREYBURN · #21 (**permalink**) 03-24-2008, 02:41 PM

Here is THE CARAVAN PLAN Thursday March 27th...Everyone who wishes to leave with the North Dallas Group: jdean, parkerpower, lreyburn, etc., plan on gathering in the parking lot of Vista Ridge Mall at the Sear's upper level lot, next to Avis Rentals, around 9:45am. Depart Vista Ridge Mall at 10:00am sharp JOHN, and arrive at the "Flying J Travel Plaza" Exit 330 around 12:00 Noon.

There, the small bladders in the crowd, can enjoy a "P" break, and get a snack/lunch. We then can all hook up and head on to the Round Rock Marroitt. If this sounds good, then we'll either see you at the Vista Ridge Mall or at the Flying J or at the Marroitt.

Our phone numbers are on HLC's list...so call if you encounter problems along the way.
Have a safe trip!!

Bad news, my wheel's toast and must be replaced.
I'm going to try and put the 15's on and see how they ride.

Miles just take the 15's and go, Damit

Miles what kind of wheel is it? I am sure there is one that can be overnighted from somewhere if you want another one.

Hey Guys,
I will be leaving my house no later than 9:00am-driving- with my wife following in the van bringing all the "stuff" we need for the Dallas Dinner. I have three insulated coolers to transport the BBQ, potato salad and cole slaw in, cups, plates, napkins, knives, forks, serving utensils, and trash bags for clean up.
Kristen, are you bringing any tables to serve the food from? I have a roll up camping table I will bring, and a few chairs.
I will be hooking up with Alan Halbert South of town & heading down the road with hopes of making Round Rock around Noon to 12:30, most likely with a fuel stop at the Flying J in Waco.
The last time I went to Austin the exit (250) was blocked, so plan on taking #251 and staying on the access road.
I am also on Kristen's phone list so we can keep in touch.
John & Mary Russell
Miles, put the 15's on & GET DOWN HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FST Fox,

I am going to leave directly from the warehouse, I am so close to the G. Bush no need to go north first and will hook up with you and J Ross on the way down or at the Flying J.

John,
The exit to the Flying J is open - or at least it is today.
The Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce appreciates your visit to "Tinkle Town" ..... the best place to pee between Austin and Dallas.

I will be a bit ahead of you. I am leaving #325 about 8 AM.
Have a safe trip.

Thankths John and Thteve! I thought the wheels looked pretty good but when I looked at them the next day, in focus, they didn't look all that great. Maybe need more polish!

FST FOX · #39 (**permalink**) 03-26-2008, 10:07 PM
