Midwest to TexFest 2013 Caravan

Post by Nebraska_e28 »

Figured I'd start early.

Our current plan is to depart the morning of 10/17 & stay overnight in San Antonio. From there we'll be hitting up one or 2 select locations (primarily salvage yards) & then continuing on to Leakey the afternoon of 10/18.

Our planned route looks like this.

You will be going right past my house in Ponca City, OK off I-35. If Dave gets his kitchen pass that makes three. :ohyeah:

Here's our route.
It's what we drove out weekend before last which included this nice little stretch of 337.
Pretty sure I recognized the spot where you, LJ, and I were forced to take a brake, ;) , a few miles east of there, but didn't slow down this time.
I did find up on 336, your and Luis' rest area is still there waiting for you, again. :laugh:

We should pass through the 1604 @ 16 intersection, northwest of SA, around 2:30 PM on the 18th.
There's an Exxon station there if you wanna try to meet up and :haul: the rest of the way together.

That last leg on your route from SA on 90 to 127 to 83 is pretty boring, especially the 90 part.
I know, because that's the way we chose to come back home.
That won't happen again.

Cindy mentioned Underwood's chicken recently so I think I'll take the hint and plan a route going through Brownwood for lunch:

I'm a slacker... Going to install tonight. I recall one spot where I almost bottomed out last time I made that run.

Was it an ez install??

Yep took us 20 min to do mine, considering Sherman did his the day before. But it's a nice kit. You can still do oil change and get to the drain plug with it on.

Fixed that for you. Something looks odd on that picture... hmm
