Pulling out of the parking lot at 0400 on 29JUL04 (that's 4:00am on July 29, 2004). Running straight through to Indy. Welcome to join us if you'd like- low key trip (70-75mph). Why Sanger? I wanted something north of the 35W and 35E merge so there wouldn't be any backtracking for Dallas or Fort Worth folks. I know Maury and the Nowlins will already be in St. Louis by then but didn't know everyone else's plans. South Texas folks- does this fit anybody?- love to have y'all.

Dan:

Do you have an idea on how many are going in your group?

I am considering going, but I have to be in Denver by 5:30pm on Sat to pick up a friend at the airport, so I'm still on the fence.

Not a clue, Sir. It might just be me and Logan (or maybe just me and the wife). I figured I'd draw a line in the dirt and say here's where I'll be and let folks join me if they are inclined. I think a lot of people are inclined to leave earlier in the week but I can't swing that.

MIB do you have any independant confirmation that there is a 4:00 am? I know that there is a 4:00 pm but I haven't seen a 4:00 am in years.

Sadly, yes....I'm up at 3:45 during the week for my 62 mile one way work commute. I also don't believe you Dan- there's probably a couple of "stay up past 4:00am nights" in your recent past... :D

Where do you plan to stop (or do you)? Maybe we can catch you on the second leg of your trip.

Buckwheat and I are leaving Ft. Worth Tuesday morning (time to be set this week) I-35 /I-44 to St Louis---overnight and on to Indy on Wednesday via I-70 (I think that is right) Could adjust departure from St Louis to meet with anyone enroute thru St Louis or joining I-70 enroute to Indy---let us know--the more the merrier, Maury

Maury-
My brother & family will be in St Louis, so we can ferry with you. Let me know what time you plan to be where (like if you're going through Texarkana rather than Shreverport) and we'll exchange cell phone numbers & etc. Looking forward to it!

Jim, We hope to have all details this week---presently planning I-35/I-44 thru OKC and Tulsa to STL--then I-70 to Indy--sure we can hook up somewhere--will PM you my number as soon as I know something, Maury :banana:
