1st leg only I just plan on doing the drive from the starting point to Texarkana on Sunday, June 2nd, then coming back home on the 3rd. Hope to see a bunch of wagons out and about! :2_thumbs_up_-_anima
We are going to be in Arlington on Sat. to get our credentials, then go back home, and will meet the group in Winnsboro on Sun. At least thats the plan today.
I'd like to join u guys Friday and Saturday, but I'm having a procedure done on Friday so I will be out of pocket those two days, but the Dr says I should be good to go for Sunday so I hope to meet yall in Texarkana! It's amazing how quickly Hotels have filled up. Also Painless is hosting a Movie Drive-in night in Ft Worth if yall are interested. Just FYI: Saturday night of the Power Tour there will be a cruise to the NEW Coyote Drive-In in downtown Fort Worth! Go to http://www.coyotedrive-in.com/ click on purchase tickets, go to the date drop down and click on June 1st, There you will be able to purchase tickets to the all time car classic American Graffiti! There will be other movies as this is a three screen drive in. It is limited to 1500 cars so get your tickets early! Food is available as well as beer and wine. Check out the web site for complete info about the theater.
