You, Mike, Terry and I have reservations at the Holiday Inn Express this time
The Host Hotel was nice but no extras

Looking forward to more DACC group this time.

Hey was just wondering if there was a plan to go in a group again this year?

Larry Epperson · Bel Air Joined: 05 Dec 2006 Posts: 300 Location: Dallas

Bobby
That's the plan and I think we will have a much larger grou than the four of us
You have ten months to get ready and hope that you have a room in Bowling Green. They are just about gone if not already

What do you expect to be the plan on arrival in Bowling Green (what day?) And then will the group leave on Sunday 8/14 for the return trip? I am finding plenty of rooms, and thought I would reserve mine also as I hope to make the trip in 2016..

Last year we left on Wed one night on road Thurs night Fri night Sat night in BG leaving Sunday morning. The 55 give away car was drawn late Sat night. Got back to hotel about 10. Lots of cars on that two lane roadside

I guess we'll do the same unless something comes up to leave earlier

I have not heard from everyone who have made plans or thinking about making the trip. If you are planning on going please send me an email so I can keep everyone informed. eppld@sbcglobal.com

We have three different cruises so far:
Irv & Peggy Engelbrecht are leaving early to secure a good camping spot at Beech Bend.
*If you are thinking about camping out contact Irv

Mike Thomson is leaving Wednesday and driving straight to Nashville

Mike & Lupe Jones & Larry & Dianne Epperson will leave Wednesday with a overnight stop halfway

Terry Sealock is going but not sure if he will be going with us as he did last year

Let me know what your plans are so we can coordinate a meeting place either on the road or in Bowling Green

Thank You
Larry

This is a Show you don't want to miss!!
