Who's Going to Arkansas - June 7-9, 2019 ?

[Ron Ward]

Nine hours from Wichita to Blytheville? Odd... It takes me exactly 8 hours from Topeka.

[SuperBuickGuy]

There will be no bloodshed, I assure you (unless this is a subversive plan by P to lure me away to my death).

my MIL lives in Arkansas, you never know, Pdub may have hired her to do his dirty work.... she's a former teacher... be careful buddy.

I really don't believe that Pdub has a subversive fiber in his entire body!

According to MapQuest, it's 9. But I drive fast....

I can't even spell subu....subvo.....whatever that word is.

GPS says it's about 6 hours from here on the interstate (no, thank you) and more like 8 on the cow roads. Which is why I give myself two days to get there. But last time I didn't use it, the closer I got on the first day, the less sense it made to stop.

Y'all drive safe and have a Great Time! (pun intended)

One week out, weather forecast is GOOD.

Regardless, pack for both hot & sunny and cold, windy, rainy weather and you're covered .. because you never know. Have fun, it's a great event.

If I had a dollar for every time I've traveled this time of year and had the wrong clothing.....it may not be a steak dinner but I could feed the family at Taco Bell. You'd think I'd learn the lesson, but apparently not.

Yep. The NC mountains, way up on the ridge, it fools everybody almost every time it seems. There we are again....dang it's chilly up here and we forgot to bring a jacket again. AGAIN. But, look at those poor folks over there from Florida parked in the minivan. The kids opened the side door and all poured out. Ten seconds later, they all pile back in the van and close the door behind them. Can't handle it, no clothes, no tolerance.

as a well acclimated Floridian - anything below 70* should be posted with warning signs as uninhabitable!

[Deaf Bob]

Went to a softball game at 8 am. (it's what grampa does). Dewy and wet..
By time 2nd game started hot and dry..
Now sitting by the heater...

A friend of mine in Florida refers to the rest of the world as being, "That frozen wasteland north of Tallahassee."

[studemax]

There is a whole BUNCH of the world that is NOT in the temperate zone. And yet we thrive. And we can beat your pansy asses, push come to shove. Just sayin.

Had a few wonderful minutes on the phone with P whilst I was enjoying a snack of strawberries and cream at my local Mexican ice cream shop. Making plans for Arkansas, should be a good time! ON TO BLYTHEVILLE.

The beauty of the East Coast Land Speed thing is, I'm gonna get my ass beat by about 100 mph, thereabouts, in the Arkansas Mile setting. And nobody really cares, I sure don't. It's all about fun. Go fast, be safe, have fun. That's what it is. That really is what it is. Been there,done that, I'm gonna do it again.
