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!
haha ! :^)
What are the defense and offense systems?Hmmm ??? I dunno. It may have a Star Trek Cloaking Devise on board ??
Please hug the Termite's NANA for me! She's home from the hospital, btw. :-)
Oh heck, and while you're out there hugging....hehe....hug TexasCowboy for me.
Excellent !
If I'm off while he's in Phoenix, I hope to take a ride up to meet him.
Thank you !
Hope you have a Safe and Fruitful Trip! Spread the Good Freeper Word!!! Colorado is a beautiful state, but when you travel at a high altitude the Van will not go as fast...just watch out for falling Rocks, and Rattlesnakes!!!
Great Trip ~ Bump!
I would like to contact ms. antifemanazi as well. I would really like to go to Frisco for that meeting. I live in Ellis Co. so it is a drive but if I leave early enough should be able to make it before traffic. Traffic going north that time of day is so horrendous.
I think it needs more arms.
Hit me with info on the Dallas Area Dinner!!!!
I am up for it.
Thanks, TLI.
Yikes!!
Fresno to Cedar City on the first day...that's a pretty good haul. Wish I were there to drive through central Nevada. I could tell you tall tales about when I was a cowboy out in the Austin, NV. area.
Have a good trip, and cheers from Chile.
An extra hug for TC from me too! I gotta get in on that!
I plan to be in Frisco, Houston and San Antonio with the Freedom tour.
'Pears to me that y'all could be on one of those places!
That is one KOOL bus!
