With the heat getting "Nuclear" hot, what time do we want to kick this ting off. I'm for earlier the better. Place opens at 9 am, if I not mistaken. I'll meet everyone coming from columbus, under the overpass on Hwy 82.

When I left Friday for Cleveland (5 AM) it was nice through 8. I'm sure if we met at the overpass by 7 we'd have half a day nice ride, except for you, Mr Freeze.
Rhonda had a temporary idea of placing those ice packets in sewn pockets inside the jacket. We're still looking at all designs.
We're not night flying so. . . . an early rise won't be an issue.

So the plan is this:
Everyone in Columbus meet at Dutch Village at 6:45 a.m. We will then get on 82 and go into Starkville and meet BJ at the Craig Springs Rd around 7:30. We take Hwy 25 to BPS and hang out there for about 1 1/2 hours. Get something to eat and fuel up and hit the Trace back to Mathiston...wave bye to BJ and head to Columbus. I am sure we will be back by around 3:30 pm. Input?

Bill, I won't need the camelback if you don't want to bring it. I've got enough water to get me through. Thanks for the offer. See you on the road.

Well gents and germs, I had a great time - with the exception of the loss of hardware. Hope everyone else did too. I'm looking forward to the Arkansas trip. Would have been nice if everyone had comm on board. Would have been interesting conversation and made the time pass by faster, especially when I quote 5 more miles to go and it turned out to be 25. Sorry bout that. Must be getting half timers disease.

Boomer, glad to see you made it back to the metroplex ok. Guess everyone else did the same. Checked out the new spotter's scope - sweet! Can see flowers on the slew (aprox 600 yds out)
