Is there any interest in a HAXFD and CTC GTG next year in Jan. 2011? Murphy's Steakhouse has been brought up many times since our last group GTG. Good food and the price was right. Would like someone in Houston to take the rains for planning to include a fun run and see if we can drum up interest from both camps. Hopefully there would be some interest from the DFW group.

 

Where is this you are wanting to go, may be interested if weather is not bad. Got to many irons in the fire now to organize it, but may attend. Let me know if something gets going.

To Winchester from the centers of:

Fortworth: 206.02 miles, 3 hrs. 40 mins.

Kerrville: 179.04 miles, 2 hrs. 52 mins.

San Antonio: 117.94 miles, 2 hrs.

Houston: 115.31 miles, 1 hr. 54 mins.

Austin: 54.45 miles, 1 hr. 4 mins.

 

Not bad distance from Houston, hope weather will work out. I'm always i for a good steak. Driving the Crossfire is a great bonus.

Bill, I'm going to take 290 from Fredricksburg to Austin, tie in to 71E thru Bastrop to 95S thru Smithville to Murphy's. It's 150 miles that way and saves some time. What is your route, maybe we can tie up if you're routing thru Bastrop.

Not much to organize here. We Houstonites meet at McDonalds on fm1488 and 290 in Hempstead at around 10 like we did last time. We make Murphys around noon.
If the weather blows, we scrap it and move it to another day.

If this is cool, lets start another thread and just go for it.

btw, my mouth has been watering ever since. That steak was fabulous!

 

Thought maybe you all would like to designate the run or sight see? I did the last time got a little lost trying to find the lake.

 

Start the thread, Carmen and I are in. Can't wait to bite that steak, go for a great drive and meet up with some great friends. how good do we have it, My Dad used to say" Boy, this is as good as you will ever get, enjoy it!"

 

New thread started for the plan and the attend list. CTC and HAXFD GTG Jan 15.
