Sounds great .... I prolly missed it, but I thought only you and Eric ... As far as I'm concerned I can leave 6AM, but I don't know about the others. Have to wait and see about that. Stay tuned

EDIT: OK .... went back and read some of the posts. Is Mike the same as +fireamx? If so, then only Steve (zip439) and I will meet you guys in Salina. Larry Hitze is still a maybe.

 

Same person

 

where are you guys eating dinner at in Indy Friday? I'm sure you won't be long, but I'm sure Johnny, and maybe some others would love to meet up to send you on your way. I wish my cars were done, I might of been able to slip away too. Just wasn't sure if all my work would have been done by the time this event rolled around. Turns out it is, but cars need some work for a trip this long. Anyway, if it works out, love to meet up...if not, be safe. There are some places to eat in Plainfield. This is just past Indianapolis International Airport. On the west side of Indy. Be a good place for you and Mike to meet, as that would allow Mike to come around the top side, while you come the bottom side James. Just a thought. If you decide to try this. It is 267 and I-70 Plainfield exit.

 

Doc, I know the exit you are talking about and sounds like a good place to meet. If it is ok with Mike, its ok with me. Just keep in mind that we need to keep on schedule. I'm not after fast fast food, but not a steak dinner either.


Let me know your ideas. James


edit: If my gps software is correct, there is a Bob Evans and a Perkins.

 

Evan (Itsky) and joejet, I am very disappointed in having to cancel out of CAA II. Tuesday I had a malignancy removed from my cheek. Surgery went well and lab said it was all removed. Wed I became very tired in afternoon and took a nap. Woke up about 18:00 with a` 104 temp. Wife got me to hosp and was admitted with pneumonia. 2 days in ICU and 2 days in a recovery ward and got sprung this afternoon.
Doctor told me in no uncertain terms not to go to high altitudes with my lungs not fully recovered.

Have a great time....

John, I am really sorry to here that,for me, you and Eileen are half the fun. Please recover soon and get well and rested for TMS. Youse guys are the only ones that understand NuYAWK.Take care of yourself my friend.I be in touch.
Joe Nevin

 

We're game, it would be great to break bread with you guys, even if it's just for a little while.
John I'm really sorry you can't make it, I was lookin forward to meeting you. But of course it goes without saying your health comes first, and there will be other GTG's. Take care of yourself.

 

John, sorry to hear that you and Eileen can't make the GTG. Glad to hear you're okay.
We'll catch you both next time down at TMS in Sept.
Be safe and well.
Terry and Diane C.

 

John,

You take care of yourself, that is more important than making a trip up to Colorado.
Best of luck to you and hopefully we'll catch you at another meet.

Eric

 

John,
No worries. Recovering fully is your main activity right now.

 

On Wednesday we are planning on some drives in Northern Colorado (RMNP and Mt Evans). Monday is an "open day" and will probably have a drive over to Central City/Blackhawk, through Golden Gate Canyon SP, and to Golden for a tour of the brewery.

I'll keep you in mind for a drive on Sunday if we get enough interest.

 

Get well soon John, pity you cant go to Cuba to Scuba

Reservations 719-598-4000 or online at www.flyingw.com/ReservationDate.aspx Please Note: Since this is a family attraction, No alcohol will be served). Since you have a large party, seats will be reserved for you and your guests.

Dinner is on Tuesday, July 26.

 

Itsky, sounds like a great time...wish I had planned better, but work is just so unpredictable.
>John....Chief, you take damn good care of yourself as I expect to see you next year when I come out your way.
>James, I will try to get in touch with Johnny and any of the others, and I understand the schedule. I think there is a Bob Evans there. So, I will plan on meeting up with you both there and bring re-enforcements if I can.

 

Unfortunately, work will get in the way of anything during the week.

For the drive to Mt. Evans, I recommend you take 74 through Morrison to Evergreen, then 66 to 103 and up to the top of Mt. Evans. I think that's a great drive.

 

Two more days until ROAD TRIP!!!

Can't wait - it looks like we'll have 4 cars leaving from OKC on Saturday...really looking forward to seeing everyone and especially all these Crossfires in the mountains.

 

Everyone drive safe, we will keep the light on. Mary and I are looking forward to meeting everyone.
