Hmmm, so maybe 7:00 is too early? Are you suggesting that 7:30 would be better?
I was planning on leaving at 6:00 (but now maybe 6:30) and heading down Hanley to 44 then south on 270 to 55. I'm up for meeting anywhere along that route or just keep the CB on 15 and find each other.
I don't think I'll make it. I'm too busy preparing my truck for Hot Springs in 2 weeks and Flatnasty 2 weeks after that.
You guys should have fun though. It will be a muddy mess.
Make sure you get some pics.

Yeah, I think the rain will definitely make for a muddy mess - and my aging tires will probably really show (that's me second-guessing my plan to wait on new tires until closer to the winter so I can take full advanage of the new traction in the snow/winter weather 
).
We'll miss you, but I'll take photos!
Where does that leave us now? Here is the (short) list I can think of at the moment:
Miescha (me)
STLCruiser
WFD175
MoJ
X Factor
Dirtoyboy (maybe ?)
Of those going, who has been before that can 'lead' the group? I think WFD175 and maybe MoJ?

Still in. Will be going riding solo. Many of the trails are rock. MoJ may be riding along with me. He'll decide tomorrow. Probably leave Washington about 7 or so. It's a little over an hour for me.

Wait, MoJ isn't taking his armored cruiser for the rocks? Should that concern the un-armored folks like me?
Either way, it looks like if you are leaving Washington around 7am then you wont' be at the McD in Farmington at 7am. I'm liking the later time. Sounds like meeting at the McD in Farmington at 8am is the plan and that gives us time to gas up, grab a coffee, and be at the park by 8:30am or so.
So there is the plan.
FWIW, STLCruiser and I will be meeting at 55 and 141 around 7am to head down. If anyone else is coming through and wants to met us for the caravan, feel free. We'll be on CB 15 to figure out exactly where we are meeting (gas station, fast food, etc. . . ). I'm sure we'll find an easy spot at the hwy 55/hwy 141 intersection.

Were there any other takers besides you and StlCruiser?
BTW The last time out at FN, my CB wasn't working so great. Keep the cell phone handy. I had service for often than not at Wa Shi Ta

X Factor is coming. I didn't hear from Dirtoyboy or anyone else.
Do you have an antenna? I may have a spare CB you can plug into the cig lighter for quick temporary use for the day. I may also have a spare mag mount antenna - let me know.

Dirtoyboy has a new job as Manager of Jakes Steaks on Lacledes Landing. He has been very busy and can't spend all day online while at work anymore. I don't think he's going to be able to go due to his work schedule.
Bring something just in case. I'm going to the truckstop tonight to get a different antenna.
We will try to hook up with you at 141.
Impatiently waiting for pics from Farmington.

Other than a few dents, a few mangled running boards, and a couple slashed tires I think everyone had a pretty good time.
I'm anxious to see the pics or the video of wfd175 doing his impression of the Buchanan Mud Fest.
If anyone wants me to host higher res pics let me know.

Jason, Joe, and Bill:
Thanks for the spotting all day. Couldn't have done it without your help. Other than the body damage, it was a great trip. Now off to the body shop and a call to Hanna.

I'm pretty sure I know which tree got you because it almost got William also. I should of been in front of you guys on the way back to spot more.
On a lighter note we had an EXCELLENT time and definately need to go back with everyone again.

Still waiting.
One toll free # dial up will test your patience.
What you need to do is get a laptop and go sit in the parking lot of a nearby hotel that has wifi. Hop on their connection.
