Dallas/Texas (and others?) Pelican Caravan to Sioux Falls gathering in Sept?

[efhughes3]

ROAD TRIP! Who's up for this? Mark Wilson and I are talking about making the drive up for this meeting 9/16-17. Sounds like it will be a fun time to meet so many of the others on this board. Having a Squadron head up from Dallas will make it even more memorable. What say you?

From my house in Highland Village, it is 869 miles to SF. That is a long day's drive. Or, we could make it a mini-Cannoball Run, and do it in 8 hours or less... Or, we can look at doing 1/2 on Thursday, which would ensure our arrival at a decent hour for the Whore's D' Orvers on Friday night

At any rate, we could plan some kind of group thing which could include our South Texas compadres and anyone else on the way who wants to join up (OK, KS, NE, IA, LA, etc). Let us know if you're interested, and what dates you'd like to shoot for departure and return. Maybe head back on Sun/Mon?

I'm not good a spelling those fancy French words....I came close?

Correct spelling should be Hors d'ouvre ... but I prefer yours for a 800+ miles trip

Ask to be directed to in-house reservations when calling this number. They do have it set up under the no-gruppe name, but not at the national reservation desk.

Good call Ric...this is looking more and more promising...plus I might be out of a job by then...perfect!

[ricwon]

yeah,sounds like Glen committed, so if we can get Peter to go, we would have the makings of a real caravan. A fast caravan. ric.

[Drago]

I'll chat the wife up about it after Mother's Day...if I am out of work the last thing she'll be into is me taking off for a week or so...such is life.

[ricwon]

Out of state business conference? Ground travel only approved, so must use personal car?

arg, this snuck up on me. if it's not too late for reservations i'll call and make it today.

also, the phoenix(tm) 951 started leaking oil this weekend under full boost, so i'll have to get this figured out and fixed before the trip.

[Gunter]

Wait until Dane is back from ID, he'll set up the caravan and the time.
