Exactly! We need a few Brave Souls to lead.. Your leadership skills will be subject to ridicule at evening gatherings! (Ask Pizzaguy)..


I'm not sure about Franc's "complete" run.. it looks like his overlaps into what we've laid out. Posting up Routes and information now.. will be below attendees.. if the forum page co operates.. LOL

Greg,
Excellent job on the runs !, are they spread over Monday to Thursday? They all look good and i especially want to do the runs with any waterfalls or scenic locations and elks and everything else, lol, you know me, i will be doing my Ansell Adams wherever i can, with tripod in hand.
They all look to be great runs with superb locations hopefully i can go on as many as i can if they are spread over the week. assuming if many people want to go on the same runs we can stagger the start times to avoid the problems associated with too many folks in each run.
I am alomg for the fun and comradeship so whatever the plans will be good for me.
I'm easy to please, just give me some scenery, friends, wildlife, my Crossfire and i will be a happy bunny

With some other leaders Andrew I'm looking for "jump on which route you want for the day" kinda thing. 5 options with only 4 days . All routes loop back to Eureka so if enough want a specific route that day.. we can just head off in different directions to keep car count manageable. We will add locations to the maps along with potential restaurants and laminate them to help out group leaders.


If anyone has a "favorite spot" on these routes we haven't included feel free to chime in and we'll get it on those maps.

I remember parts of that route that goes thru Southern Missouri, you have it as a yellow line. When workign out there two years ago, I was in the area bounded by that yellow line - the beauty is way beyond what I expected of "boring" states like Missouri and Arkansas.

That yellow route will be my Monday drive - I may even lead if no one qualified is found.

(The only question now is, "What the hell car will I be driving?")

No one, even I, can say ....

Franc's Off Road run goes through some very pretty scenery. But it is for aggressive drivers who want a new challenge road.. It is not for pictures and pleasant sunsets.


It can be made shorter to accommodate other activities.


I will have alternatives available for those who wish to join other activities. Flexibility rules.


It's about fun, not Cruise boat activities.

As far as I'm concerned mine are just some "suggested" routes. As you say - It's all about getting together and having fun! I would love to be able to stay together as one big group.. But nobody would be happy at the end of that day! Just picture 120 people walk in for lunch together.. LOL.

. Big groups are hell to keep together. Especially in the back woods and mountains.


Cafeteria style is much better. Small groups at the table. Fill your plate with what you like and eat it clean.

Also a reminder for everyone to bring walkie talkies, an essential item to enjoy the runs and stay in touch.

Greg I don't know if it makes a difference but Mickie couldn't get off work so it will just be me coming so you can scratch her off the bar-b-q list.

Agreed. I have trouble remembering names. That's why I keep mine handy in my wallet.
