Wednesday
The journey is 950 miles, depending on the
starting point. Leg one is 650 miles from the various starting
points to Freddie Rice's place near Memphis, TN.
Jay and Cliff started in eastern
Virginia and headed west to start the Big Dog Caravan.
Hal joins the caravan on I-40.
Frank, Jay, Cliff, Hal, and Jerry headed
to Nashville.
The day ended with ribs and lethal
concoctions at Flyin' Freddie's in Memphis. Joining the Big Dogs were Wes
Banks SP 1481, Ron Frohs SP 723, Rich Bowden SP 1406, and Richard Price
SP1301.
Thursday
Big Dogs and friends from Freddie Rice's
rib feast joined early in the AM at the Cracker Barrel for breakfast
before the Big Dogs hit the road again.
On the road covering the final 300 miles
to Branson on back roads through the Ozarks.
Friday
Friday we busted out early for Eureaka
Springs. Hal, Jerry, Frank, and myself. Cool morning but great roads.
Heading out crossing the dam.
Same dam thing (ha ha) . Great day, not
a cloud in the sky.
Overlooking the Beaver Dam at Beaver Dam
State park. Actually we were lost. Hal, Jerry, Bill and myself. We have
great cars....as navigators we suck!
Jerry Witt showing the new guy how to
snap off a hard left hander.
Saturday
Snakes lined up in formation. I learned
fast, stay with people that know where they are going. 1956 is ready to
go.
Carroll and Pam DeWeese in the hard top.
Cliff and Karla Adair without the top! It was cold, Cliff said we were all
wimps. I think he was too embarrassed to admit he didn't know how to put
his top on.
The pictures don't do justice to the
site of 30 plus snakes winding through the countryside.
Steve and Linda McDonald showing their
fangs! NICE!
Randall Thomas parking at the bottom of
the dam. He was lost. The rest of us were waiting.
Waiting to board the diner train. I was
late! Followed RT. He was lost again. Diane needs to take charge?
Check out the smiles! Everybody was
having fun. Woodsy got a part time job as a conductor!
My wife Barb and I enjoy dinner with
Steve and Karen Brown. Good to finally meet the "Den Mother".
