    Looks good to me.
    Can we have an alternative longer return route. And take the ferry, up Bolivar, up to Winnie and back on I-10. I would prefer that drive although longer to driving up 45.

    I didn't put a return route on there because I figured once we hooked up at east end, we'd drink too much to worry about when people left. :D

    I like the fish fry or crawfish boil idea. We need to figure out a head count over the next few months and get a plan up on how we feed and where.

    I doubt if anyone would want to do it the weekend after Roundup so how about April 26th? We can also do this before Roundup but I would prefer to do it afterwards once the "stress" is off. I'm think about what Kat said concerning the crowds mostly. I doubt there will be that many people at east end.

    Hell. We could have a good old beach party down there if anybody has a pig to cook. :D

    April 5 is Roundup.
    April 12 is a recovery Saturday for everyone who attended Roundup.
    April 19 is open.
    April 26 is Pate.

    How about March then? Take a pre-Roundup run? Shaun and I were talking about running this anyway in the next few weeks just to see how it looks.

    We could wait until May but then we're gtting into the heat and beach season. Up to you guys. I'll drive anywhere in mine. :D

    The 19th?

    You guys SUCK. I had plans. Looks like I can see the Astros play the Rockies some other day. :D

    So now what?

    We have a date. We have a place (hopefully). What else do we need to do besides scope out places to hit on the way down.

    19th works best for everyone.

    I won't be able to make it, I'll be in B-ham, Bama racing!

    Brad, video the drive, so I can watch it and feel like I was there.

    Ok:

    April 19th is the date.
    We've got a route from Houston but we need to decide where to meet up in Houston.

    Return route is wide open. This ought to be good.

    Dark Horse is a central location
     
  18. Really sounds killer, I'm sure there will not only be alot of guys thrashing for the roundup but some, thrashing for the galveston run to. Hopefully I'll have my T goin.

    I dig the Dark Horse. It's nice to be in a central location, and I personlly enjoy the look of fear in the eyes of the moped riders at the coffie shop next door, when Shawn lights off that monster he drives around. It gets even better when Brad rolls up with zoomies on and they wet themselves...
     
  24. I was just razzin' you city boys, I don't mind coming out to the dirty metropolis once a month. Still wish it was on Sat.
     
  25. I might could dig a saturday.... but man I sure as hell don't want to go to galveston once a month. And Saturday is kinda more of a work day for me.
     
  26. I used to go to Galveston once or twice a week! But gas was less than a buck back then...
     
  27. Now its just less than the price of a gallon of milk
     
  28. Milk was less back then too, I'm told. I always drank beer.

    Not trying to piss down yer back and tell ya it's raining but the 288 route going due south seems a little too "straight" to me. Now I haven't driven as much as some of you but signals and a flat view of trailers and random business' isn't exciting to me. But I'm just going off the section I've driven.

    Other than that I'm supportin my bro brad.
