What time? I'm still not sure how long a ride it is to checkpoint alpha but I figure an hour max from here.

I like wandering around truckstops anyway...

Hey Greywolf,
Tonight will be my last time to post on this. Have to leave out at 0dark30 in the am. I will have my wife keep an eye on this forum to give me updates while i'm on the road as to what comes of the meet times and where. Whatever saturday morning will be fine with me. I can meet up with y'all anywhere from Jackson to Milan. just give me a time and place.
You might want to try and P.M. some of the TN users that are not signed up for the chapter and give them a heads up on next weekend. Just a suggestion. I also sent a thread to the Kentucky Chapter as an invitation, but was apperantly snubbed. O'weel. till next weekend.........................................

I think it's Lariat97's ball...

What time at exit four-two? That will lay down the travel time from there out...

I think we are still looking to the AG Center just outside Milan on the East Side as checkpoint BRAVO.

CB will be channel 4D, with 4DEE as the alternate.

Whats good for you Greywolf? I can be there by 8am or earlier. I get up around 5 am so I can be there earlier. How long is the trip to Paris. I haven't looked it up.

I'm thinking it's a good two hours from I-40 to Paris, if not three.

I think 8AM is a good time target. I am not at all sure how long it will take to get to Milan. We go 222 and 79 - there will be a little bit of slowdowns through towns. Go I40 to 45 and the length adds to it.

The original 222 and 79 plan looks best for mileage. I think we should go with that and stick to it. But the time to Milan from there I can't predict dead on...

Tennessee is looking at our second state meet - and it seems just like ZZTOP.

Same three guys, same song....

Whats up with that?

Remind me to bring along a Poke-Chop sandwich.

I've been meeting with about 4 or 5 from another Ford site for yrs. We aren't a big group but we have a good time every meet. I enjoy getting out of the house & seeing Tn. This will be my first trip to Paris. I hear its a nice place.

I want to see it - sounds fine.

The little towns are the best!

Paris looks bigger than most on the map though

Well,

Looks like we gonna need a rain bonnett for 2maro. Dangit!
Are Y'all still going (as in Wolfie and Lariat)?
Since it's only gonna be the three (stooges) of us( I'll have a cab full of kids i think. Wife and youngest daughter done bailed on me. the 2 oldest are bringing a friend apiece) do you want to redirect a place to go? The rain ain't gonna bother me a bit. If anything, there will be less crowds there.

Just found another two cents in my pocket and thought i would throw it out there.

I caused the rain. I took the cover off my boat (Rainmaker). It causes floods everytime I use it.

We're going to get rained out. I hate to say it, but it sure looks that way.

The forecast for tomorrow is 100% chance of rain in western Tn, and 50% right smack dab over Paris. It looks like a pretty wide storm too.

I guess we should postpone and maybe think ahead to the F100 nationals or something.

Oh well. I need to hang on to what cash I have for now anyway.
