Let's figure out where to meet. I live in Arlington near I-20. So I-20 is the natural route for me. I'll meet you guys anywhere along the way. I'd love to get a caravan going down the highway. That'd piss off the tree-huggers wouldn't it.
Anyone got a specific spot in mind? If not we'll pick an arbitrary point I guess somewhere around I-20 around Dallas or just east of there.

The wife informed me on friday that she will have to work that weekend..... hopefuly I can get the mother in law to watch the boys.
That said, I dont think it makes any diference taking 20 Vs 30, so yall pick a spot that works for the majority.... I'm in Plano, so 30s a little closer, but 20s fine with me too, but I dont know any places there to meet.

Well, we've still got a little time to hash out a meeting place, I kinda like the caravan idea too.
As far as a meeting place, anyone got a good location off the top of their head?
I think I-20 is the better route to Barnwell, so maybe we should think about a common location somewhere near I-20 and maybe 635 east loop or even I-45 and I-20?
If you guys would rather meet around I-30 the only thing that comes to mind is the mall in Mesquite there at 635 and 30. What's the name of that? TownEast Mall or Square or something like that?
BTW_ I need to get a CB radio, are you guys in possession of one, if so bring it... I think it's a great idea and sure makes communications between all the vehicles a lot easier.

dunno Dave about the time. heck we're still trying to figure out where to meet. I need help guys! I've not been here much lately due to internet problems while traveling. I'm good with meeting somewhere local or just meeting at Barnwell like Dave and I did last year.
Can we get a consensus on what works from all who plan to go next weekend?
If you guys are down with this then we can meet at Town East Mall in Mesquite at 30 and 635, that's the best place I know other than Barnwell itself. I'd like to get it going sooner than later, it's a few hours out to Barnwell from Dallas. Also, bring something to eat and drink, there's no food services there and nothing close by.

well, it looks like i'm gonna have to meet you guys out there. the lady friend and i are going to camp out at the st park in daingerfield friday and saturday night. its about 45 mins north of gilmer. so, i just need to know what time you guys will meet up in dallas, then i'll add 2 hours.
also, i bought a handheld cb last week. hopefully, it'll get here in time.
btw, what's up with the crappy turnout for the dallas folks? i thought we had decent representation on this forum? the jersey guys have freakin 14 pages of responses and tons of people going to their events. to my fellow dallas-ites, its ok to get your hummer dirty. the dirt washes off. i promise!

Dave I wondered that myself. There are a lot of Texas people on the forum. Ususally the Dallas guys are pretty active wheelers. Sam just took a group to Barnwell so maybe everybody is recovering.

If you guys are thinking about meeting at Town East and don't mind driving a little further East on 30 to Rockwall, we could meet there. Town East is about 10 miles the opposite direction of Barnwell for me, and they're also doing alot of consturction on the roads around Town East right now. At exit 67A, the first exit after you pass over Ray Hubbard on 30 there's a 24hr fitness at the top of the hill that's pretty easy to spot. And then there's also a gas station in the same parking lot in case anyone needs it.
That's my suggestion anyways, but I'm down for meeting at the mall if you think it's easier to find.

Dave, I wish I could go...but you and Raymond know my status (or parts of it any way).
At least I know Barnwell isn't going anywhere.
Like I say, the quickest way out of hell is to keep walking...and brother, I'm trudging my fat ass off......
Have you contacted Jay to see if he is off/interested?
Brian will be out of town obviously. (By the way, did I tell you he sucked) 
I made Raymond an offer of extraction and comm gear if necessary. You guys let me know if you need it. I just
require a bit of lead time to go pick it up from the south forty and figure out a way to get it to you or Raymond
And.....
I better see more than 3 lousy pics from this trip............Jeez
