That would make it about the seventeenth of march.

There's a Sonic, a Taco Bell, and some pizza joints. My idea was to take over the Sonic parking lot - but there is a parts store right next to it!!!

Whatcha say?

Kids are on spring break, so I'll be on the Little Red River trying to get the trout to bite the flies I tied last week. Keep trying and I'll make one!

It sounds good to me. I will try to make this Meet.

I can be there if nothing happens. I don't miss many local truck meets.

That saturday will be the 18th. What time did you have in mind? I would like to try and make it.

What time is best for everyone? We have a week to work this out and spread the word.

I think it should be a low cost "Hey - HELLO!" with no strings attached.

I may also bring out old blue for it's last ride until it is out of "PROJECT TRUCK" status (the plates are only good til the end of the month). Depends on it's fuel system... There is air in the lines.

Do we go with sonic, or Taco Bell/KFC?

Taco Bell has a bigger parking lot, and I love mexican food.

I thought early afternoon so that people with other things going on could work around it...

I may try to make it. It's my wife's birthday this week, so we may be doing stuff this weekend (not sure just yet). But I'd like to meet some of you and get some tips...

I've never been to Atoka (only been in Memphis for about 3+ years now), so if I come, I'll need directions.

Yea I need to directions as well to see how far and such.

Lets call it 2 in the afternoon then. Probably we can all pull in to the Taco Bell parking lot as a join-up point, we can decide which food place we want to invade from there...

Atoka is on highway 51 just across the Tipton county line from Shelby.

If coming from the west - highway 51 is the best route.

If coming from out east 385 to Millington is quickest, and go up 51 from there to Atoka.

From south, Austin Peay to 385, to 51 north I think... I may have Austin Peay confused with another road. Seems to me the 14 went right up to the back gate of the navy base - that's the road.

Its a no go on me for Saturday. My truck Ive been working on is giving me problems and I have to get it started so I can sell it and get me my OWN truck. Its in the 80-84 thread under distributor issues. If you wanna read and maybe know what I should do.

If you were near Atoka - I'd push for a "Mercy Run" as a G2G.

- Bunch of us come out, and see what we can do to help out right there!

Who is near Murfreesborough? Can we do something like that?

It's always better to be right there and see it when trying to help...

lariat97 · #14 (**permalink**) 03-17-2006, 08:03 PM

Is the Atoka meet still on? I'll be there if it is.

Greywolf · #15 (**permalink**) 03-18-2006, 03:05 AM

IT'S ON!

I'll be there too.
