*** St. Louis to Memphis Stop ***

[Bucky67]

Big Dave- Thank you sir!! Life has been extremely busy.... Good, but busy. The Good Lord has blessed me in so many ways, not to mention things couldn't be any better with my wife Houdini (Giselle), Chase, & Chyanne. School kept us busy this past year and I'm definitely looking forward to summer!! Three weeks ago I was in Savannah GA, then Two weeks ago I was in Missouri, and now this week I just got back from San Antonio. Looks like I might see you guys in Memphis!!

Hey Buckey would it be worth going this way and staying off 57 and 55 completely?

Hey Buckey would it be worth going this way and staying off 57 and 55 completely?

that route looks okay......what Bucky say?

[Bucky67]

Dana, there maybe a possibility that I'll see ya'll in Memphis and Birmingham.

Scott and Rexx- I can't view that route at work. I'll check it out tonight when I get home. IMO- The concern & issue is bottle-necking when I55 cuts down to 2-Lanes at Mile Marker 19. Just normal traffic on the interstate gets backed up. Then add in, oh I don't know, 2500+ cars AND you can imagine the mess that will take place....
