^^ SWEET :lol:

I am so ready !!

We will be leaving this afternoon ,after another member gets here to caravan down with me

[packrat427]

So has anyone really come up with a time to meet ?

I was thinking that we could have lunch for sure, and possibly dinner at Lamberts .

There are a bunch of little shops right behind Lamberts , like flea markets and antiques and such .

When we would go to Branson , we would eat the shop :lol:

We should be at Lamberts mid morning on Saturday .

Some of you have my cell # , Those coming that may need it , PM me today and I will PM it to you .

Near Future

When Ever Enough People agree to Meet Down There or Here in Chicago,I Think We Should Make It somewhere in Chicago ,There is so Much To Do round here ,We can Make It a Summer Event,What's Your Opinion?

Whew! Just got in from Ozark! Drove there and back in one day, a total of roughly 10 hours of driving. Stuffed my face at Lambert's. It was great to finally meet all of you! Special thanks to Packrat for the FF.com decal, and the radio bezel for SIBladerunner.

I let Scott drive Dudley about halfway back to Carbondale. I don't think Dudley likes him very much. His check engine light came on three times briefly while Scott was driving, but never for me. It's doing about the same thing Packrat's check engine light is doing, so maybe it's contagious. We filled up at Boomland on the way home, and drove through snow and rain, but old Dudley never missed a beat. By the way, Scott says he wants a Festiva now! We talked him into it!

How sad for a Missouri (Ozark) meet .

WE had a great time , Will and my wife and I checked in Friday night at the BarnAgain Bed and Breakfast in Nixa I believe .

Sat morning we had breakfast there , and then we went to the Bass Pro Shop in Springfield ,MO.

Then we all went to Lamberts and had a GREAT time , we all ate well and all enjoyed the THROWED rolls , and I only ate 2 - 16oz. Ribeyes and I think Kemp did also , I was full as a tick

:lol:

Then we went back to the BnB and refreshed a bit , then we all went to the Branson strip , and we went to the Titanic , it was Awesome .

Then we went to the 76 mall and did a little shopping and goofed off a little :lol:

Then on the way back we stopped at the Sonic and pick up a little snack on the way back to the BnB .

Sunday we went to the main house for breakfast , it is always served at 9 am. WOW it was great !!

Got to hear some really good stories about the place we stayed , and the owner played some music for us , and Dan (Levitan) joined in , It was GREAT !! Dan can actually play really well .I wanted to hear him play more !!

We went back and packed our things and talked for a while , the went and topped off our tanks , then was East bound and down .

Will and us stopped at Sullivan,Mo. for some KFC
Then it was back at it .
WOW , I am glad to be home ..It was a great time .

I have more than 100 pics and some videos , I have loaded them , but I will post them tomorrow .

I should have stuck around longer. I had a feeling the Festiva-ties continued after me and Scott hit the road.
