I'll be there. Don't know if I'll be running the Jeep down the Mile, but I'll certainly be there with my 35mm snapping some cool photos.

Dude, this is Goliad, TX. The entire country envies TX for having the event. DFW isn't that far, there were guys from Canada there last time.

That's what I was thinking. It's also a good excuse for a cruise.

Well, I got up at 5:30am to load the car on the trailer, and it is raining here. Radar in Goliad looks like they just had showers too.

I'll give it an hour, but I'm about 75% not going. That is one boring *** drive just to get turned around when I get there and come home.

It just POURED down here Tony, now just a drizzle. But that would suck to waste all that gas/time to go out there for rain.

Peace,
Craig.

A long cruise in rainy weather still beats a good day at work.

If I didn't have to work lastnight, I'm still at work, I'd probably just go to get some more seat time in C-HOG. I never get tired of that.

40% now. What sucks is that it is going to be cloudy, if that strip gets wet one time, it will stay wet.

PaiN just called from Victoria, he said it has been raining on him all the way down from Houston.

Screw it, I'm not going. 400 miles round trip means another $150 in gas towing out there and back. I'd be irritated if it rained and I wasted my Saturday, and less irritated if guys out there actually have some fun and get some runs in.

I'll go look at some cars instead
