BAMF AE

Soooooooo, what's on for 2007?

Gray Fox

Great question...
I'll be working on that after the first of the year. So I welcome all suggestions

Blue Demon

I bet there is going to be a great two day Texas Hill Country Bluebonnet cruise sometime in April 2007.

I'll be putting together an Oklahoma Arbuckle Mountain Cruise in the Early Spring with a stop at Turner Falls and ending with dinner in the North Mid-Cities area. It'll be similiar to the run we did in the Fall a couple of years ago.

I'd appreciate suggestions on a fun route starting at TMS thru North Texas to Turner Falls and a good spot for Dinner afterwards. Is Sunday a better day, since some have to work on Saturday? Also, maybe some of the Wichita Falls area and Southern Oklahoma CF folks would join us.

If the weather stays warm, we could do this cruise sooner.

Gray Fox

Oh yes, that will surely be happening!!!

I missed the last one - Check with Joe Diver (Scott), he might know some fun spots to hit.

Iron Chef

We haven't cruised in a long time. I need to get some things fixed on the 'Vette soon!

Dats my Chevy!! He's too big for a "grocery" sack

Blue Demon

George, last time we took Hwy 156 north from TMS to Hwy 455 west to Hwy 51 North. That got us close to Oklahoma and is all I remember about it.

tonyh2000

From 51 we went to us380 then north on I35 across the Red River then jumped on to US77 to Turner Falls. From there we took back roads to Sulpher then went home the back roads to Madill then hit us377 to 455 back to Sanger.

tonyh2000

Here is a quick route. very little time on I35 Had it end in Decatur there are a couple places there to eat. Ignore the starting times as I did not adjust them.

Well, it looks like we have a route, now all we need is a date and a restaurant.

Tony, since this is your route plan, how about leading this one? I'll cover the backdoor.

This weekend looks like rain, but how about the 21st or the 28th?

Any eating place recommendations?

tonyh2000

Do not mind leading, but would be better if someone who had GPS to lead. There are a couple places in Decatur to eat. There is a catfish place just outside of town and there is a new place downtown.

Need to get my car into the shop before I can do any road trips. Having computer issues active handling keeps giving errors. It will actually come on while driving straight.

Let's go ahead and start a new thread on this....

Today's problem is..

[QUOTE=sxe60;1558346607]Im in for either the 21 or 28, I need to play with my new z06 shifter

Blue Demon

The Catfish Restaurant sounds good to me.

Torch Red Tim

That would be a dang good bet.

sxeC7

Hey Tim, that's great, then we'll all get to see that beauty.
