If people decide to go on Lime Creek, please follow these rules:

1. Do it sober
2. Don't cross the centerline due to blind hair pin turns. Head-on collision is bad for your health.
3. Watch out for the other idiots that cross the centerline
4. Drive at a moderate speed if it's your first time there
5. Watch out for cyclists
6. Leave plenty of space between cars

I'm just waiting on a few phone calls before I can make a definite yes, but it looks like I'm going. What time do you guys plan on being back? Not that it really matters, just wondering.

Ok, I think Josh is wanting to come too, but I'll have to check. So far my plans for this trip have been terrible! And I was the one that started talking about a "Road Trip". Thanks, I'll let you know.

Ok, if you and Josh come out then that will put 4 of us in deluxe room #2. Looks like I'll have plenty of money left over for LOTS of alcohol!!!

Unhappy

I'm thinking about joining you guys on Saturday. I'm not sure though.
I had plans for the weekend, and my kid has a soccer game that day. We'll see...


For sure I will at least show up at the Rig on Friday Afternoon and wish you all a
safe trip. You guys are still meeting there friday night right?

We've got one pair of walkie talkies at our house, and there's a slight chance we might be able to get another pair.

Jenkins and Jackie,
I've PM'ed ya to confirm, as well as left a vm on Jackie's cell.

Not sure if we can keep up with some of ya'll on 6th street, but we're definitely going to try!
Scalli- hope you don't snore! =)

Ok, talked with a co-worker of mine Fred, "cobra-conv" said he is going. So, for deluxe room #2 looks like: Shari, Brian, Brian, Josh, & Fred.
Chris, could you update the first page for me?

Don't have one I can post, but it runs along the N side of Lake Travis. You can pick up Volente from 620 near the Lakeline Mall area. Lime Creek comes out near Cypress Canyon.

And yes, do what Parmer8 said. Be very careful. Help is a long time coming if you screw up, and there are cyclists. If you want to run a little quick you may want to send someone ahead to give yoiu a heads-up.

I know... that's always been my problem. I'm considered young everywhere I go... work or play.

Exactly. Somehow, 23 sounded so young and 24 sounds so close to 25 which is SO close to 30 and we all know how women feel about 30. I might as well just give up now.

You sound like you are having a mental breakdown! It's OK, just relax and grab yourself a margarita.
