Were to meet in Little Rock

[Solsticefun]

I know it is still some time befor we leave for LR, but has anybody decided were we all could meet, so we could all get to meet with the people we have been corresponding with on the forum. Maybe some of you that were at LR last year could fiqure out a good place for all of us to park.

Jim, I'm not sure when you will arrive in LR, but I'm planning a run to the local VA Hospital on Friday. All the details and time haven't been ironed out yet, but when they are, I'll post them here. Last year in Cleveland, some of us went back to the hotel before heading to the Quaker Steak and Lube.

Steve, why did I expect that response from you. ;D Cheaps, I will be arriving Sat. I wish I could make the VA visit, but trying to get everyone off would be difficult. I think it is a great thing you are doing, and as a vet I thank you!!!

Hey Dave!

Yes there will be a VA run even though we won't make it. Matt (orange95Z) and trucklvr (Jim) will be my eyes and ears once I have everything worked out. I will make sure you all go to the rehab hospital like we did in Cleveland last year. More details will follow after we get moved, etc... :D

Re: Were to meet in Little Rock

i know there are quiet a few people staying at the ramada on shackleford on friday and saturday and there is a resturant right behind the hotel(mexican i think). i think some of the others went to the resturant so maybe they could say if it was any good. there was a river district(i think this was in little rock) that had a few places down there. i think there was a big dock like area there, also a river boat with gambling. i personally like the hotel idea.

Re: Were to meet in Little Rock

That restaurant was Cozy Mels (Cozumel) I believe.

The food was OK, actuall quite good after the second (or third) margarita.

Re: Were to meet in Little Rock

When is the VA run on Friday. I am wondering if I can make it there in time to be part of the run. I missed the VA run last year because we got to Cleveland too late.

Last year we were at the VA Hospital from 10:30-almost 1PM. It's better for the patients in the morning before it gets too hot. Most of those folks in LR last year stayed outside the whole time we were there! Awesome group of people with some great stories. It's something I will always rememeber.

There isn't any gambling on that river boat... it is just for dinner cruises... the only gambling in AR is the the horse races in Hot Springs and the dog track in West Memphis...

I'm glad somebody remembered the name of that place. lol.

I love Mexican food so I was happy and what made it even better was the fact that it was walking distance to the hotel. It was right next door.
