someone has lifted my rock......Me and about 6 others (the victory, warrior, wing, intruder, and a few others) will be heading down right around the same time on the 13th.

So, we need rally points in conroe, spring, and south houston so far.

I am sure it will be around 10 am before we get out of Conroe...  But I am going to shoot for a 9:30am meet time in Conroe.  That would put use at David's by 10:00. O0
Does that sound ok with everyone?

I am up for doing a Gumbo, but would ask all to keep an eye out for fresh road kill no more than 2 days old. Should be cool enough to just keep it on the back porch until then, especially fond of young skunk.  O0 O0
Title: Re: Ride to the Rally Saturday
Post by: Luckys Lover on December 04, 2008, 04:27:24 PM
Better make that one day old. Yesterday was really really warm and would have ruined any road kill by spoiling the meat. I'll still be on the look out for a fresh skunk for you.

We are still good for these times.

See everyone tomorrow. O0
