Texfire, welcome to the run. I was wondering how far you are located from the Motel 6 by the TMS? There are at least 3 of us coming in thurs to make the Fri run. Not being navigators as was Columbus (?) we don't want o discover the Gulf of Mexico, so if your not too far from the Motel would you mind stopping by for us and we can run a mini convoy behind you to meet up with Texas T???
Thanks

The pool area seems agood idea to ME. There is no reason why we can't get a bit of practice in for the Saturday night.

 

My kind of Brit.

Don't let me practice falling in!

Hi to the lost sheep Crossfire Group GTG for 10 Sep Road Rally.
How many are staying overnight Thursday 9 Sep at Motel 6?
I printed copies of Guaranteed Not to get Lost Maps so if we all go in different directions, we will wind up in the same place.

Beware...there is a LOT of road construction through this area north of D/FW airport. They are redoing the whole interchange. Just go slow and follow the road signs. At this point of their construction, I don't expect there will be any changes to how the GPS will navigate you.

 

Thursday for me and Helena.

Thanks Dan IRX, I'll follow the car in front of me, and will wave when we pass you.
Who's leading?
Any count on Sat at the TMS?

Texas is not a State of Mind, It is a State of Continuous Construction!

 

To Inferno Dan, or Texas T Dan, I notice a lot of HOV lanes on 635. Does the Crossfire qualify as an HOV with 2 occupants?
Travel time any better?

YES it does,

 

John, we will be staying at Motel 6 on Thursday Night.
