Don't know bout time. Delorme says Bob has about 694 miles and and 9 hours and 20 minutes drive time to get to his roomin house in Manhattan. Thet don't include stops ur maybe a detour I heard tell bout fer the flood. I have an e-mail sent to him.

 

Said he should be in town about 5:00 and wants to check in at the Super 8. Says about 6 ish to eat and *** is fine with him.

 

6ish is fine with me-- I should be @ the campground @ about 1:00 or so-- should give me enough time to set up camp before we eat.

 

*** BBQ is directly behind Walmart. I am on call, I will plan for 6, and do everything in my power to be there.

 

Chad, are you camping down by the lake at Randolf where we usually gather? I'm still debating on whether to bring the 5th wheel out or just drive up and hang out.

 

Yup, tough choice for me. It's going to be cooler but with the rain this week the bugs are going to be bad. And bugs like me a lot. Last time I camped up there this time of year I brought home one with me. And driving to camp tomorrow night will bug up the front of my truck really bad. Motel 6 has a $35 room for me in Manhattan. And I'm sure coffee and a breakfast sandwich somewhere close. Camping fee is $8.50 plus $4.20 for a vehicle permit.

Sundance says he is leaving TN today and will stop over in St. Louis tonight. Says Sunshine is having some health problems so they will most likely not stay for saturday.

For saturday it looks like I'll either leave by 6:00 pm to head back to Wichita or spend the night at camp. Again I don't want to run at night with headlights and attrack bugs. All I plan to bring is an ice chest with drinks and a sandwich for noon and evening saturday. Clint says Chads trailer won't cost his SD any mpg like it would my truck so he'll stick with the plan to bring it saturday. I may have some folks from another board showing up. One is driving up from Wichita saturday morning with his 2 kids. The other lives in Manhattan. Not sure when he will be up but I posted a 9:00 AM time for meeting in the parking lot at the ORV area.

Not sure about sunday yet. Might camp saturday night for a campfire and see if folks show up to wheel sunday or not.

Garrett says he is staying home with Ben.

 

I told several other people 9:00am too. The more the merrier :-)

 

As i said i'll be there hopefully providing they don't make me work Sat if i don't work Sat i'll be there Friday night for the dinner in Madhappy and camp fri and sat

 

OOps Del just saw you question-- Yes I hope to be camping there I should have the banner up by my little tent.

 

I had a prety good night. Not many bugs in my room. One brown spider and a black bettle. And ac soooo cold I had to turn it off for I went ta bed. Coffeeeeeeeee. In search of coffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will have pics up a little later.Update found that i have a broken alternator belt must have happen sometime yesterday.

It was awesome, and I don't know why, but I am exhausted.

 

Had a great time at the bbq friday night. Thanks to Del and Curtis for helping some stuff "fall" off my truck. Even managed to do a bit of wheeling.
