We want you there (at least your car.)

Would you like to meet Fri. morning around 9-9:30 at the same I-Hop on 290 ?
We could hook up with zainossr in Austin around noon.

Leave some coffee and breakfast for the (much saner) noon crowd.

gmpartsguy · 10-16-2006, 06:17 PM

I don't see my name on your list for noon departure. We'll be there.

SSR03 · 10-16-2006, 06:37 PM

I can't wait!

pfisterlevel · 10-16-2006, 07:07 PM

I'll probably arrive at IHOP around 11:30 and have lunch there if anyone wants to join me.

Great - sorry I left you off the list - can't remember hearing back from you. Wouldn't be the first thing I forgot this week.

Just got off the phone with my contact at Peggy Sue's Diner confirming our 6 pm reservation on Saturday evening 10/21/2006 for our "car club" to meet, eat, drink, and be merry...see ya then.

Yipheee

Thanks Owen

This is the route I am taking to Marble Falls on Friday morning.

For route "Click Here

Then from Marble Falls to Johnson City down 281, then travelling west on 290 to Fredricksburg.

WAYNESWORLD · 10-18-2006, 02:11 PM

I just noticed that fourhounds won't be joining us.

We met them at Ruidoso and enjoyed visiting with them. Maybe next time.

It appears to be a rainy forcast for the area. Oh well, my truck is waterproof. The Houston contingency certainly is no stranger to rain. You have really been blessed lately!

We will be in San Antonio Thursday for a funeral and then arrive in FB on Friday. You guys have a safe trip now, ya hear?

OP · 10-18-2006, 02:46 PM

Weather forecast at noon today shows a cool and sunny weekend for the Fredericksburg area.
Cool front moving through tonight and tomorrow bringing a little rain and at least 10 degrees cooler temps.

WAYNESWORLD · 10-18-2006, 03:13 PM

I'll be driving down on Thursday. That's when the rain will be heaviest. You are correct, your OPiness, we will have a pretty weekend.

Zainossr · 10-18-2006, 03:53 PM

Skip, Bill, Thumper, and Zainossr (don) are gathering up in Austin around the 12:30 Friday time frame if anyone else wants to wagon train on in with us! Channel 8 on the walkie talkies!

OP · 10-18-2006, 04:05 PM

Those leaving from Austin, be aware that there is some construction along 290 between Austin and 281 through Dripping Springs. Last time I encountered it, there was lots of loose gravel from highway resurfacing.

A smoother, but further alternate route out of Austin would be to travel West on 71 toward Marble Falls and then head south on 281 to Johnson City where you will head west on 290 to Fredericksburg.
Further drive but a very scenic one, lots of hills.

OP · 10-18-2006, 04:42 PM

Hey, just thought of this, those that have name badges, please bring them so we can put the name to the SSRfanatic ID.

texster68 · 10-18-2006, 09:57 PM

Where is everyone going to be at noon on Saturday? I can't make the whole weekend, but I'd like to drive down and meet for lunch if there is a group plan.

Mamacita's Mexican Food at 6pm. It is reserved in my name and SSR car group. I requested separate checks and he said that would not be a problem.
The cafe is directly across the street from the Sunday House.
I told them I would call Wednesday night late with a more accurate number attending since we are leaving on Thursday morning.
Please let me know who will be attending so I can make a better guess at the number.

Melvin and Johna

blueroadster06 and redrodder will be there about 7 00 or 7 30
Will there be any food left for us??? (4)
we are leaving from New Braunfels around 530 or so

Come on over, we will all probably still be visiting at that time. Not everyone will arrive at the same time. Our group dinners are never short and alot of fun for everyone.

Hey Chris, I think Saturday everyone may be scattered but I would suggest you drive to the Sunday House there on Main Street as you arrive in town as I am almost certain there will be a parking lot full of SSRs and owners gathered around them. Hope to see you there.
You have my cell# if you need to get in touch with me. If we decide to do a ride, I will call you.

houtex · 10-19-2006, 07:52 AM

Count the Houtex's in for Friday night (and Saturday night)

nelson · 10-19-2006, 08:33 AM

We are leaving for Fredericksburg now. We will double check our reservations for Friday night. We counted everyone that is coming in the reservation No.
Everyone take care and have a safe trip. Looking forward for a great SSR-Fanatic time.
