No wagon this year, A/C crapped out and I don't have the SDL back together yet (almost!!!) so, I'll be in SWMBO's ride, Lilly, the Arctic Blue 300D. If she won't let me take Lilly, I'll just have to slum it in my F250.
Glad to hear it!

To everyone else, I'll see you there. We'll have reserved parking at Woody's, and reserved parking at Fort Boggy. We'll also have someone from the Centerville News there. Primetime, baby!

Just 12 hours left.

Note:
I don't have any official caravan leaders from San Antonio or Ft. Worth.

If you are coming from San Antonio, please note the departure time and proceed to Round Rock from the HEB. If there's enough people, you can appoint someone to lead, I just won't know who they are. You will meet with the Austin crew at the Dell Diamond in Round Rock. Bryan Harter will lead the caravan from there on out.

If you are coming from Ft. Worth, you may consider either
A.) Going to the departure location in Hutchins and proceeding with "JimmyL"
or
B.) Proceeding from the Starbucks in Waxahachie without a leader.

Whatever the case, it'll all work out. I'll see you in Centerville at high noon!

I plan on arriving in Hutchins around 10:00. We really need to depart sharply at 10:20 to make Centerville by high noon. The Dallas contingent always gets stuck parking in the dusty rock lot....... {insert baby cry here}

Can't wait! Have the camera battery charging.......

Thanks to everyone for coming out to the get together! I was so tired that after I got home around 6:30, I plopped into the bed and didn't wake up until a few mins ago. I'll post my pics tomorrow.
Here's some pics from ragtopman over at slkworld.com

That's the kind of thing that I expect to see in the middle east. As a matter of fact my parents had a Toyota Crown (70 luxury Toyota that never came to the US) back in the mid 70's when they lived in the middle east with a built in fridge.

Very cool car.

For those who have or have not attended this gathering. It's a lot of fun.
June 1st is the date for the 2013 gathering. Mark your calendars. There's usually a great turn out and great food.
