I need a couple of the 50ml bottles to use as gear shift knobs. Oh wait Renaldy just gave me new gear shift knobs. Back to the hood ornament plan. Maybe a bobble head like T-Gator.

I am also thinking I picked the wrong week to shave my head.

No Batboy, This stuff is the SKULL, Tits are other body parts.

I like my fancy pants tequila we get at the tiawana(sp?) tequila festival every year. I'm always drunk so I don't remember any of it hardly

Indeed sir, it is.

So Kevin / Jonas, what's your game plan for the trip there? When are you guys leaving on Fri?

 

[Grouper]

I'm up for whatever time on Friday. Since it's a small group and I know Kevin and Suzi don't like to leave super early I think we could probably all run together. I will defer to Kevin on that. As usual I am up for whatever.

The plan, for now, is to roll out at around 5ish on Friday morning.

I'm flexible if that is too early. Do you want to try to meet up with Mike squared and convoy?

 

[dockbox]

When and which way are they planning on going? I guess we could try to meet in Slidell. Or Pearl River if they are going up I 59

I believe Mike L. Suggested Picayune.

 

[dockbox]

Picayune has a Hardees, and Steak Biscuits are tasty! num num num

 

[dockbox]

6 hours from Picayune to Hawk's Pride would put us getting in at 4-5. Sunset is at 5:44pm That dosn't leave much time to get setup. I would prefer to meet at Picayune at 9:00 AM to arrive in Hawks Pride between 3 and 4.

 

[Bang Bang]

I say Picayune because it's an easy on /off the interstate and there's food and fuel right there. We should be in Picayune around 9:30ish. We are at Mike J's mercy. He has some work he has to get done but we are shooting to leave as early as possible. I am going to call Tim in the morning to see if he wants to join the convoy.

 

[dockbox]

Lets Rally at Hardees at Picayune Exit 4 go left and go about 1/4 of a mile and its on the left.

 

[Bang Bang]

I don't want to hold you guys up. We will call you when we are leaving the Mandeville area and if you guys decide to go on ahead, then we will just catch up to you at the park.

I haven't heard anything about camping, but I am planning to. The web site doesn't mention reservations, so I hope to just show up. I have seen a lot of departure times, from 0500 to 0930, but I am planning to leave Slidell at ~0700 and drive in 2-hour legs because my back gets to aching in those lousy seats. I plan to have a glass (paper cup) of wine in my hand at dusk, so I plan to get there no later than 1600. I may even leave as soon as the kids are up (~0615).

OK boys and girls, the Mike and Mike show is pulling out the "Old Man" card. We have a room booked at the Mocrotel Inn and Suites about 10 miles from the park (at least that's what it says on Google). It's looking like the temps are gonna be in the high 20's at night and in the 50's during the day for the pre-Krawl run. Neither of us relish the idea of sleeping in a tent in those temps. If you want to join us at the hotel, click here. It was ~$75 a night and it's one of the closest I could find to the park.

We will be leaving from Mandeville on Friday morning around 9am (may be closer to 9:30, depends on Mike J.) if anyone wants to convoy up there. We could meet you guys in Picayune if you want to.

That will give me a chance to check out the 0 deg sleeping bag. I need some misery, which is what camping always is, but I am keeping an open mind. We shall see...

 

[Bang Bang]

Great to hear it Tim. I was planning to call you to see what you were planning to do as far as heading up there and camping / hoteling. We will see you up there......we might even catch up to you.

 

[4xphoenix]

Just in case...

I can take the rain...or the cold, but I am not willing to set up my camp in the rain, followed by <30 degrees, so I booked a room at Microtel Tuscumbia-Muscle Shoals. Maybe the forecast will be wrong!
