The last overnight stay on our trip will be at Lake Havasu City, AZ, where we'll meet with the local FReepers and tour the world headquarters of VetsCoR (Veterans for Constitutional Restoration).
Looking forward to a great trip and seeing old friends again and meeting lots of new ones!
Howdy everyone! Checking in from Ft Collins, Colorado. Had a heck of a time getting connected tonight, but finally made it. Will be FReeping with the Ft Collins chapter tomorrow!
Alrighty! Glad ya'll made it safely.Have a great time in Ft. Collins !!
Right now we have 30 confirmed NTX Freepers coming to meet Jim! If you want to join us, please freepmail MAF so I can make sure we have plenty of room for all and send final notice of time and location. We may need to move to a bigger place.
You have freepmail.
You have freepmail.
You have freepmail!
Howdy, Meek.
You have freepmail!
Jim told me you are coming. I have added you to the list (now up to almost 40). I am looking forward to meeting you in person.
Let me know if you need directions. I think I already sent you the other information?
It will be nice to see you again. :)
Where and what time are we getting together?
Howdy everyone! Checking in from Colby, Kansas. We had a great time FReeping in Ft Collins today and had a great lunch! The very enthusiastic support displayed by the passing motorists was really heartwarming. Will be heading out to Columbia, MO, in the morning.
Despite what the leftists would have us beleive, America ain't dead yet, and is not even seriously ill.
Thanks for checking in!
Sounds like you're getting some new FReepers along the way!
Just keep heading toward that BIG old state to the south of you.
Y'all be careful now, y'heah?
Hi Jim. When are you guys going to be in San Antonio? Are you planning on meeting with any freepers there. My husband and I live in the Hill Country and are interested in attending. Thanks, Dudley
We're hoping to stay at the Menger Hotel in San Antonio on Saturday and Sunday nights the 12th and 13th of June. We're hoping to meet the Texas Termite and family while we're there, but haven't heard if anyone else has made any plans for a get together. We're pretty open.
Give Bluesage Woman a big hug for me!
She's a fine lady! And she likes Don Williams!
I don't know Dogrobber, but give her/him a hug, anyway!
If they're FReepers, they've got to be good people!
Y'all take care and be careful!
If God is your co-pilot, change seats with Him.
I could meet you in the coffee shop about 11:30 and wait for everyone else to go to Jim's room.
I'll be the young, good looking, muscular guy............oh, you said your husband is coming...
Oh, well. I'll be the tall, old guy with a pot gut and a Western hat.
Thank you Texas Cowboy!
