As an intro, I have a red w/black 1991 and I would like to join the late option group. I have spoken to Scott about the trip and it all sounds great to me. I will most likely trailer the car back.

For the San Antonio meet, silverNEEK suggested that we meet at the Lowe's located in "The Rim". I think this is a good idea because it has easy on and off access to I-10 and a big parking lot.

Well hell. I missed the posting asking for the head count. I just spoke to Donna at Fort Bliss and she says that she does not have a room reserved for me and none are available. Any suggestions?

Sorry about that. Douglas. Larry Douglas. See you in the a.m.

Call or text any time.

Guess I'll be by myself at the meet point. Let me know if any gets lost. Should be easy to find.

My name is Moses by the way. :biggrin:

 

[gdae]

Just touching base with you folks. I've confirmed with Fort Bliss lodging (thank you Moses) and dropped a line to ladougl offering a place to crash if he needs it.
So I'll be seeing you guys bright and early tomorrow. If I'm not there on time then something really bad (or really good) happened to me.
If you need it, my cell number is (281)814-6172.
