Gotcha on the list.

Anybody else who has not contacted us, make sure you do so because we have to update the reservation.

1st Stop, 8:00 - Cracker Barrel for breakfast, Hwy 40 & K, O'Fallon, MO
9:30 Leave Cracker Barrel

2nd Stop, 11:00 - Eco Zipline Tours, 487, S. Hwy 19, New Florence, MO

3rd Stop, 1:00 - Double J BBQ Ranch, New Florence, MO
Leisurely drive back to the St. Louis area
Join in at any point on the trip.

Zipping would be with 10 lines, taking about 1 1/2 hours.

Regular rate is $75, but if we have 10 or more, it would be $65.

Payment must be made in advance. Please send me a message (or those of you on Facebook to Ruth) right away if you intend to go and we can give you payment arrangements.

Right now we only have 3 owners and one non-owner (potential) for the zipline. We need to know by the 21st of Aug for those zipping or we will have to change the reservations.

We spent a hot, but fun day out on the Harley. On our way back to the ranch we had to make a mandatory stop at DQ for some ice cream. We pull in and parked right next to a beautiful black SRT. After ordering our treats, we sat down across from the owners and struck up a conversation with them. We talked about all of the fun we have running around all over the country with you guys, and they seemed interested. We gave them the forum address and noticed when we got home that they had signed up as "Jonsy4fun". Hopefully we will see them signing up for some of the fun we have coming up!

Hi everyone, great to see a Gateway group based out of STL. I'm a new Crossfire owner in Columbia, MO and I'd be delighted to be part of your group.

Incredibly, I drove by the zip line place on 19 last Saturday on the way to Herman on a long drive!

Welcome Rockster. ERZER seems to be the lead dog here. At least for now. He and his wife will likely give you a holler here or via the PM system about September 10th.

Did you check out the Fall Tail of the Dragon event?

Also, do you ever come thru St Louis?

Most of the Gateway crowd is located in western St louis county or St Charles. Cruxpyre Femella and I are in St Peters with a packaging company in Wentzville.

Swing by for lunch sometime.

Franc,

I get to St. Louis pretty often to visit family or to fly in and out of Lambert which happens more than I like at times. I'm checking on my schedule for the Dragon run.

Thanks for the warm welcome-
R

Hi Rockster, glad to have you join us whenever you can. Couple of things...no "lead" here, we (misses included) seem to be the organizer lately, but no problem. You can also get to us on FaceBook, send me a PM and I'll get you the information.

Here is the next trip. If you are interested, we need to know right away so we can adjust the numbers. For those of you still on the fence, please jump one way or the other and let us know, we need to get the reservations updated.
Ok, the next GTG is going to be going to St. James (hmmm I do believe there is a winery somewhere near there ) But were going to have lunch Sybills, yeah that's the reason.

Saturday, September 10
Gather at 9:30am - McDonalds at Hwy 44 and 141.

We will take some country roads to St. James to have lunch at Sybill's restaurant: Sybill's Saint James

After lunch we will go to Three Squirrels Winery: Three Squirrels Winery - Missouri Wine and Art - St. James, Missouri to sit, chat and have a relaxing afternoon.

As much as I would like to meet our new member, Rockster, Crumpy and I must sit this one out in Hippie Ridge.

I don't know how I missed this discussion.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to join you in St. James this weekend as I will be traveling to Chicago for business. There are some great roads between here and the I-44 corridor.

I look forward to meeting the group.

Rockster
