Note: Understand that some may have to leave at some point to get back home or they are not coming from Dallas area and will be leaving to go home a different way.


Members traveling from directions other than Dallas should exchange MP #'s with the others as so to stay in touch of where to meet up.


Need everyone's input on the below:

•  
  • Picnic, eats?
  • Cafe, eats?
  • Other?
  • All is open for discussion or suggestions.

We want to reach out to other Crossfire owners in Tyler, Longview, Athens, etc. So we can meet halfway from time to time! They may have their own group or maybe already a member of the DFW Xfires. All are welcome regardless. Bring a friend and let then enjoy the Xfire experience.


Note: I have 5 or 6 2-way radios that I will bring because some areas do not have mobile phone service. So we can keep in touch with each other if needed to when driving in a group.


Note: More aggressive drivers should stay to the front of group.
