TNTDFW Caravan to Houston Feb 25th

Tattoomee · 02-01-2007, 07:23 AM

I scouted the territory (@I-45 and I-20), and found at the First exit passed I-20 (south-bound I-45) at exit #274 Palestine/Dowdy Ferry there is a Wataburger immediately on the right on the southbound service road with ample parking.
We should meet there between 7-8am (leaving there AT 8am, Wally) lol.

Here's a map (with Coordinates for the Tom Toms) of the route:

Bring your FRS radio. (Channel 11, like last time)
there is an Exxon nearby for fuel (if needed)

Although the meet starts at 1pm Memorial park, and it roughly takes 3-4 hours to Houston, the Traffic in Houston is Notorious, so we need some extra time for Piss-stops, and Navigating Houston to the park.

I (personally) plan to return to DFW that afternoon/evening, (work on Monday), so I'll probably leave @3-4pm.

Give a shout, and we'll start a list!

(1) Tattoomee/Kopperking
(2) rays05titanse
(3) BigRedTitan
(4) lanespd200
(5) ttugrad95
(6) WallyBFTW
(7) dodson914
(8) TruckinTitan
(9) Landman (?)

WARNING!
Some people have Experienced Extreme Enjoyment while Driving within the Ranks of the TNTDFW Caravan,
to where the Meet itself was Boring.
You have been Warned. LOL

Any one of you Dallas guys can feel free to PM me with any questions you may have. Directions, etc. I'll keep my eyes open so that I can get your issues answered quickly. It'll be great to have you guys down here and obviously we'll be returning the favor. I really wish I'd see Landman on your list. I've wanted to meet this fella for over a year, now.

Steve............did you hear that? Ok, I have to be back that night also! Now the big task for me is to find where the meeting point is!

One of these times I will be off when yall have a meet. I work 7 & 7 and I always seem to be working when you meet.

Maybe...that would be a good reason to visit...US!! lol

I'd like to speak for Steve, but he left our meet before we discussed going to the Houston meet. Hopefully he'll chime-in.

John, if you prefer (since Wylie is Due-East of Plano), I can meet you somewhere in Plano off Hwy75 @6:30am? Then you can follow me to the I-45/20 location.

I wish, I work in southeast La. So it is a 6 hour drive for me. I will get a chance to make one of these meets soon.

LANDMAN · 02-02-2007, 05:25 PM

Hey Gents,

I don't think I will be able to make it to Houston that weekend. I will see if I can work some angles to change that. If I can make it I will plan on drinking and would stay........Sorry, I haven't read the whole thread yet.....thanks for the heads-up Sean.
