This is the route suggested by Google Maps. If you're somewhere near the blue line and feeling sociable, let us know and if the timing is right maybe we can stop by. It would be great to get together with a few groups now and then to stretch our legs and fill up our tanks. Also, if you know of any points of interest along the way that we shouldn't miss, please let us know.

ps. We're not looking for donations or oxycontin and we won't smoke in your hotel.

Would Sunday work better for our OKC get together? We may be spending some unscheduled time in Vegas on our trip back due to a job site visit for work. If I do, I would get another day off of work and not need to be back home until Tuesday. I'll know for sure Monday but if Sunday works better I could probably make it work. Could any more of you DFW guys make the trip if we did it Sunday?

Not a DFW guy, but Sunday would be fine for me.

I didn't think you were, I was just responding so RKD would have an accurate head count.

Sure. It's the Veer Towers in City Center. Actually, I'm looking forward to seeing it. Interesting architecture for sure.

You got lots of time. . . I have some pics. It's, uh, 'under construction', still. . .
Yes, some interesting construction going on, indeed! Quite a copmplex. . .

Valentine and Escort both have 30 day trial periods with a no questions asked return. You'll want to keep it by the end of the trip. My preference is the V1. YMMV

I was late to notice this thread. Overnight shipping at this point.

I'll know for sure on Monday whether or not we will be spending an extra day in Vegas and will post here as soon as I find out. If I miss you this go round, we'll see you (and your car) at the OCIC.

The Vegas job site visit is a go. Sorry, Sterling.
We'll be arriving in OKC the same time of day but Sunday afternoon instead of Saturday. We hope that everyone that was planning to come Saturday can still make it and maybe a few more too.
