I gotta tell ya, the time difference is minimal. The route mapped out by BB is not a bunch of farm-to-market roads. They are good roads, they are direct and you can travel at whatever speed you like. You may rest assured they are in better condition than 35. And damn sure prettier. We used that route last year and the first thing that I thought of upon arrival is the irony that it really took no longer and was a beautiful ride in the bargain. I really didn't have it in mind to roll down there at 90 knots anyway. But one of the reasons I want to leave early is to arrive early also. In any case, I'll post up the link for the meeting place map after awhile. I'd like to meet at 6:30. That gets us ahead of traffic coming from McKinney and I'm thinking probably from Carrollton too. Should be about right for breakfast in Hico I'm thinking.
