We're Ba-ack

We're back from our west coast wanderings and unpacking between beers. It sure is good to be home.

For those that were ragging on us to show pictures of our cowboy hats, we have a teaser for you.

Simply awesome!! :clap2:

Glad to hear you had a great time and looking forward to seeing you soon. On a side note, the BluRay disc you ordered got returned to us. If you want, I can bring it out next week.

That will be fine. It must have been too heavy for the mail carrier. ( Just kidding. All you mail carriers have been doing a great job under trying conditions. )

Hey Tom, when are you heading out? Will you be meeting us for the ride to Vegas or meeting us there?

Good question. Originally, Susan planned on a straight through drive by leaving zero-dark-thirty for the meet up in Utah. Now she's rethinking the time in the Jeep after our road trip. She will make up my mind sometime before we leave and I will let you know.

Right now, I can tell you that the convoy and pit stop in Las Vegas is looking mighty good after spending time on the 99 to get home on this last trip.

More Info

Hey Tom, when are you heading out? Will you be meeting us for the ride to Vegas or meeting us there?

OK. Susan likes the convoy/pit stop solution. But...Susan checked the Silverton and there are no rooms available. We are getting a room across the freeway from you at the Hilton Garden Inn. A tad pricey but within CB, race radio, telephone range so we can co-ordinate with you.

Also, it is a Friday and that is the heaviest day for traffic to Las Vegas. What time were you thinking of leaving? The I-15 gets progressively worse after 10 a.m. until it comes to stop and go accordion driving after the I-210 up and over the Cajon Pass.

A few have rooms at the South Point that couldn't get rooms at Silverton. We are meeting at 1:30pm at Bravo Burgers in Victorville. That is what time we can all make it there. Let us know if you are going to meat us there.

No Convoy to Vegas for Us

A few have rooms at the South Point that couldn't get rooms at Silverton. We are meeting at 1:30pm at Bravo Burgers in Victorville. That is what time we can all make it there. Let us know if you are going to meat us there.

Owing to my tendency for road rage and lack of patience around crowds, we are going to make it out to Vegas on our own at an earlier time. Barring unforeseen circumstances, we will meet the main group at the Silverton for cocktails/dinner and lively repartee before returning to our hotel for the night.

Cowboy Hats

OK, so here's our real cowboy hats. Will these be acceptable within the wagon train?

We should meet around 6pm at the Mermaid bar at the Silverton then head on over to the Mexican restaurant for dinner.

Used it for 20+ years before they made me transition to an auto-loader. Never the same after that.

I still carry a wheel gun as a backup. You never have to worry about whether it's going to go "bang". The hats, Wild Turkey, and cowboy guns is a good look for this trip.

Got it. Sounds good.

I'm in complete agreement with you.

Have a safe trip everyone. See you in a few weeks.

Hey Russ, you taking off somewhere? Or are you just wising us a Bon Voyage before the Bon Voyage?

Hoping I can find room in the Jeep for the metal detector. Would be cool to do some relic hunting on the trail. :yup:
