MOOT MaG #11

I can meet you for lunch Thursday, having no other plans but to ride mornings when it is cool and avoid rain and wet roads.  I'm taking scenic highway 77 up from the TX-OK border, adds about 25 minutes but heard it is worth it and map shows some hilly twisties in the Arbuckles.  I called Turner Falls Inn and they have free wifi.

Sorry, I meant Mountain View Inn, glad I figured that out before showing up at the wrong hotel and wondering why they don't have my reservation

I should be there at Turner Falls Inn around 6 or 6:30 looking forward to seeing everyone. Praying that everyone arrives safely.

It's been raining in Davis all morning so I've postponed my departure, arriving closer to check-in time if weather permits, and will look for David  C down the road after I'm checked in.

[buster]

Ahh, glad to hear others are arriving today.  I'll look for ya'll.

I too left this morning from Houston. Hopefully be at Smokin Joe's about 3, find a tent spot.

I may look at taking 77 north also from what you are saying, probably be a seat-of-the-pants decision at the time. I would not mind meeting for lunch except with work I don't have a permanent time of departure, where might the gang have lunch at or where are good places to have lunch at?

77 was very relaxing, never saw another vehicle except in a couple of towns.  2 lane with no shoulder, easy to look around. I would do it again. A series of construction signs that warned " centerline and sideline may not be marked - motorcycles exercise caution" but there was no issue today.  Most of it was posted 65mph, then at Lake Murray switched to 77S (for scenic not south) was 45 and I passed 3 cops in a short stretch.  That ends at hwy 70, turn left and then right on 77 again.

If no one decides on lunch, I'd guess the default location might b Smokin Joes.

Showers early expected to end before 9 and still a nice 68 degrees so I'm thinking ride 9 to noon.

Here's the update since I have good web connectivity. 

About 10 of us at dinner tonight, decided to meet for breakfast at 9am if not raining, at Boomer-something or another in Davis on the north side of Main street near C.

Also mentioned at dinner, Phillips 66 at the first exit north of the Red River has 100% gas (no ethanol).  Theres also a Phillips 66 about  2 doors down from tomorrows breakfast location but not sure is they are 100% but will find out b4 breakfast.

Wishing the rest of you safe travels.

The Sinclair station at 77 and I-35 has 100% gas for $3.60. They do not have a card reader so you have to go in and pay.

[TLRam1]

Hopefully I will have good Verizon phone service at Turner Inn so I can connect with my netbook, otherwise I will be searching for places. 

Thanks for the update I will see you guys tomorrow.

The WiFi at Smokin' Joe's works well with this tablet.
Speaking of which... I gave everyone a bum steer on the direction.  Smokin' Joe's is just NORTH of I-35 on US-77.
Right now (7:25 A.M.) it is raining, but expected to stop soon and be nice the rest of the weekend.
Hope to see everybody soon!
