HA! RTT 2010

From left to right...Jim, Billy, Shermo, Jack Daniels and Peter R.

That was a great year.. HAHA..

Was that the first or second year? Remember when there was a state trooper following each car..haha.. That was classic... they didnt pull us over though...

I forget which year, but I remember getting flashed as we were traveling in the opposite direction.

The pic was taken during RTT # 1. Five years ago.

In my opinion, Jack did not look too bad considering he died in 1911.

In fact, Jack said he enjoys the odd shot of his bourbon in the afterlife.

Please note, the above is my opinion and is not related to any kind of agenda.

An email has been sent to those who have signed up for RTT 2014.

Check your inboxes! Book your hotels and lets is know if you are coming!

Wow, an RTT tailgating grilling competition. Count me in!

I'm really bummed to be out this year. Keep me in the loop in case I can pull a rabbit out of my bum but have fun all!

Rodney, I think you said you are free Thurs - Monday?

Consider caravaning down with us and peeling off for home early.

Coming from the North, you could take a ferry across the Mississippi north of Memphis.

Jim,
You volunteering to be our Road Monkey Captain?
If so, what time and from where?

Sherman,
I'm in. Have reservations in El Dorado and Eureka. If you haven't made any yet, I can share.
I have a route in mind. Mostly avoids the Interstates and includes my favorite lunch spot in S-port. How does 9AM depart from Panera Bread - Conroe. That way we can load up on coffee and hit the road. Alternate would be the Donut Wheel - Conroe. Should put us in El D about 4PM. I'm flexible. Let me know what you all think.

That's one of those "if we told you we'd have to shoot you" things.

Mark,

Thanks for the offer but I already made other plans. I'll be camping somewhere between PA and VA with a friend from New York City. Amy couldn't let me be gone that long during that week this time. I was really hoping Halloween was still on, but I won't even know if I can do that for another month or so.

Have fun and post pics!

Folks, I am out of RTT this year.

My youngest daughter is getting married Sept 27th so both RTT and OktoberFast at Road America are no shows for me. I know the 27th is after RTT but her wedding puts both a time and money squeeze on me.

I shall return though.

Sure thing and enjoy the camping trip.

I saw Mario last weekend and he asked about the pic of the M's you took last year. Given you can't hand deliver them, how would you like to proceed.

Good point and an interesting problem. Is anyone passing through Columbus, OH?

Pretty sure I'm out guys. I really hate it since it's so close to home, but too many things going on. Carry on and have a good time!

Alright you cheapskates, just pay a little shipping, geez! I can tell you they are worth it! I got two.

Looks like the spouse will need an MRI and likely repair of a partial or total rotator cuff repair. I told to stop throwing heavy items at me but some people never listen. Saving time off and $ for the copayment. See you guys at another time.

Sorry to hear about your wife's shoulder. Tough joint to rehab as you know. See you next time Rich! Best wishes to your wife she must be a saint.

I'll be passing through Columbus, OH on my way back.

I think I'll be able to head up with the Canadians for a bit until we hit NY.

Cool jayjaya29.

I don't think a detour to Columbus is in the cards since we'll be crossing back into Ontario at Detroit.

Anyone passing thru Memphis TN on their way to RTT and have room in their ride for (4) 17" wheels? If Greg has time to meet you, I would greatly appreciate it. I'll arrive Tuesday for the Eureka Springs portion.

Many thanks in advance.
george

We'll have to figure that out next year then darnit.

I see. I'll be able to ride up with you guys until Indianapolis, IN, then I'll head into Ohio.

Just picked up a case of Ithaca, NY beer. Car prep is in progress.
