I suppose I could plant myself there with an FTE sign in the front window of my truck, maybe a blue oval with FTE in the middle of it.
That way instead of going somewhere else like Atoka before we head out, we'd already be on I 40 at the join up point. It would also be a good opportunity to refuel and grab some road munchies/soda/coffee.
Besides - I could add to my die-cast collection!
What is the best time to be there considering the road time to get to Paris, ya figure?

Sorry to hear that Bud Dog, But I do hope she does well!!
Hey Greywolf,
What route are Y'all gonna take? If you meet at the Pilot truck stop at exit 42, you can go north from there on tn222 toward stantonville and then take U.S.79, that will take you thru Milan, tn. I could join up with the group there. theres an Ag center just east of town. From the truck stop to paris is 89 miles (2 hours or a little less).

I can see this building up steam as we go....
Need to develop some "Flight Schedules" though. I don't give a turkey if I have to leave at 4 AM, but what time do we all want to arrive?
By the way - If I get my CB transferred to the new truck, what channel do we want to be on?
PS: I'd figure 89 miles at 75 and cheating the limit to be more like an hour and ten minutes or so. What are the posted speeds on 222 and 79?
PPS: Is anyone pushing a C6 and limited to 55 - 65?
PPPS: Thangs do happen, 'Buddog. I hope your other commitment goes really well - and we will be thinking of ya.
Px4S: If all goes well, Wolf Truck Jr. will be packing a suprise from way back when...

As for a flight schedule, Depends on what everyone wants to do. The small parade downtown is at 10am, Catfish race (whatever this may be) is @ 10 also. The catfish is not being served till 11am (I ponder that the losers of the race get fried?) Junior fishing rodeo @ noon Then theres the carnival all day.
Speed limits along US79 is as follows Gas it, brake it, gasssssss it, BRAKE Speedtrap, traffic light or two, and so forth.

P.S> as for c.b. channel we have 39 choices. We call ch.19, sesame street, for a reason, sounds like a bunch of children on the play ground. I guess we could use ch. FOuR(d)???????????????

Mine does alright overnight - but i won't leave her in the cab at a stopover.
I have learned that it is real bad juju....
Twice I have had to finish a trip sitting on a plastic trash bag.
NEVER AGAIN!

Bring it (The W/T C/B).
I can find a speaker for it and mail it to you. or something...
At least we can try, shoot buddy - I worked on electronics for twenty years. Did you think I forgot it all?
