Anyway, I was headed back to Lambert airport after being on business in Farmington, MO area for the week. I'll be back in that area again next week.
I do not recall a black Limited coupe in the group. Ora mamber in that area

For some reason,most of us are in West St Louis County or St Charles county..

Erzer works near the intersection of I-55 and I- 270 so if you see a red SE convertable annoying other drivers in traffic around that area, that may well be him

What's up in Farmington?

I'm supporting a rock quarry site located in Annapolis, MO. Nothing there but the quarry. So I stay in Farmington while working at site.

Here it is Franc, get ready...I know you are getting anxious...down right giddy I bet

DAWT MILL

Friday May 31 - Sunday June 2
Meet at the McDonalds at Hwy 44 and 141, no later than 1:00pm.
We will drive to Dawt Mill in Tecumseh, MO. You can call 888-884-3298 to reserve your room.
There are currently three more rooms reserved under wife's name (don't know it, contact me).
There are River Cabins for $139 a night. There are other options also available at a cheaper price.

Saturday we can do a "float trip" at 10:00am. They will take us on a short 15 minute drive to the drop off location and it takes about 5 hours to canoe/float back.
You can purchase a sack lunch for $10 or bring a cooler and lunch. You can pick between a canoe for two or a kayak for one.
Floating in a tube is also an option (will take a little longer).
Please make your reservations as soon as possible. If we use up the rooms reserved, I can call to try to add more.
Also book your preferred method of floating when you reserve your room.
Rooms not reserved by May 10, I will need to released back to them. We will drive back Sunday morning after breakfast.

I just now noticed the posts Eric. I'll get Crumpy to set things up

I believe she wants to Kayak but with her frozen shoulder still hurting we may just do the canoe thing again.

Been through that frozen shoulder myself. Never really hurt, but sure limited me from doing anything. Took the surgery and then PT to get it back. Which means tell her to make sure she does the PT!

Right now she is trying to avoid the surgery. So, the PT is in play. Hence the constant pain.

But her arm is improving.

I don't mind doing all the paddling. Then I'll have the sore arms and need Extra medication when we go out to the bar.

Wished we could Franc .. But as I had thought.. daughter is playing games with popping the grandbaby out.. LOL.

False alert run to the hospital last night..

So guess we'll be staying home the weekend on baby watch.. "thought" those days were behind us.. LOL.

We'll try to catch up to your group on the next get together... have a feeling every chance to leave the house is going to be a welcome one soon..

You guys be safe and have an extra round of fun for us..

Sadly, the Dawt Mill run was cancelled today due to inclement weather.
The good news,,,,it wil be rescheduled and perhaps others maybe able to attend.

Fine dining, music, Ozark views, crysatl clear water abound. The only negative would be a few half naked drunk girls on the river. WOWZA!


The Weekend event is a hoot. I highly recommend it.

Hello all, I don't think I have ever officially been to a Gateway group event, but I have met a couple of you in passing. I just traded in my 05 Crossfire SRT6, it had a Cold Air Intake made by a local shop (JMB Performance). It's silver with some flake in it (powder coated), overall it's in good condition but has some marks (mostly on the bottom so you won't really notice if you're showing off the engine) and some used K&N air filters. I know there aren't many local SRT6s around STL, but if anyone is interested in it, and will actually use it, just post here and I'll sell it cheap, but you have to come pick it up!

Helo,

Well, sorry we missed you when you had a crossie. Our group is rather active and you missed some fun times.

As for your SRT CAI, I believe I own the only SRT in the group and have a CAI already.on it.


However others inthe club might find interest. Put your AD in the Clasifieds where more folks will view it.
