How would it be if we actually stayed in Downtown by the arch? I would assume most people will be coming inbound on Wednessday morning, and we will be heading out bound?

Teachers have a hard job in my opinion - especially if the kids are anything like I was. I got a taste of the other side of the desk during a career day, the sleepers were best left alone I guess. I never slept in class, I was always doing homework from the previous class so I wouldn't have to take any home. There are a couple other teachers that are on PT regularly too. I look forward to saying hello over a cold one.

yes, the tour is my present from myself, of course the "boss" agreed to let me go. I'm a business Ed teacher, taught computer classed for 17 years at our HS, moved to the middle school 3 years ago and teach Keyboarding to 5 through 8th graders. They gave me a break for the last 3, Love the kids and will miss it a little.

I was on it (Route 66) in the 70's on my full dresser

Is that like a hutch on steroids?

Sorta kinda - 1973 - just before it blew up outside Grants, NM. -

Thanks for clarifing that. Statements about the 70's can sometimes be confusing

I'm hoping Earl will fit in their parking lot.....sounds like a neat place, I'm planning on it.

[70chevyC-10]

looks like a really neat, offbeat kind of place. got 4-1/2 out of 5 stars. when i goggled it though, they showed three other BBQ places near by that got 4 to 5 stars also.

See - they're half again as good as those other places - but I heard it's mostly a biker bar so we'll fit in.
