prwlyn	The South Texas POA group(7 cars) is planning on leaving on Wednesday(June 5th) morning early and will be going through the DFW area just prior to lunch time. I'm wondering if any of the DFW owners would like to meet up with us to Kat-A-Van on to Colorado. Right now we're planning on staying overnight in Amarillo and then cruising into the Event thursday afternoon. We can arrange a meeting place you chose on the road up there or meet in Amarillo.. I'm looking to get Hotel names tomorrow sometime. Let me know if your interested in hooking up and we can then setup a meet later this week. By the way, any and all suggestions of other routes are welcome if you know a better way.. You can e-mail me at fredh@prowleronline.com or post a reply here. Thanks. ------------------ Fred J.

Alex	Yall have a safe trip now! See you in CO soon!!!! Alex ------------------ 2001 Orange Plymouth Kat
davidn	Fred, most of the DFW Group are leaving on monday..we have one owner Kandace who is planning on leaving after she picks up her kids from school on Wednesday.. I will tell her to contact you as i'm sure she would want to Kat-A-van to Colorado they are taking a PT and a prowler.. ------------------ davidn
PaulR	Thanks Fred- We should be in Denver by Tues nite or early Wed morning. A few of us want to play on the Bandemere Race track Wed afternoon. I will have my cell phone 214-533-1911 Lets stay in touch. ------------------
KOOLKAT	Looking for Prowlers from Florida, Georgia and Tennesse that are going to Colorado.
prwlyn	Well I was wrong on the leaving day and time.. After mapping out several routes it appears we will be leaving on Tuesday morning instead of Wednesday morning. Depending on the route we take we will be staying Tuesday night in Wichita Falls and then in Dalhart on Wednesday night.. Second route is to stay in Oklahoma City, OK on Tuesday night and then in Colby, KS on Wednesday night. Decisions, decisions!! PAUL I'll have mine also, 713-502-2486 ------------------ Fred J.

PaulR	Fred- You may want to consider Amarillo the first nite and then Colo. Springs the 2nd nite. Wichita Falls and Amarillo are only 200 miles apart. We will leave by noon on Monday and make at least Amarillo or Dalhart then into Westminster on Tues nite or early Wed a.m.. The route through OKC is a very long way muchless the smaller towns on Hwy 287 are a blast with the Kats and pretty good roads. We'll stay in touch. ------------------
prwlyn	I am leaning toward the westerly route myself but one of the guys said that would be one hell of a drive to go Houston to Amarillo in one straight shot, 695 miles and 12 hours drive... I'm looking at about 7 hours of driving and that gives us about 440 miles a day. I figure if we hit Wichita Falls (about 7 hr drive) and then stop in Dalhart (about another 7 hr drive) then into Westminister (about 5 hours)... I do not know any of the roads once outside of Houston area. I was in Dallas about 17 years ago and that was it.. I'm using MapQuest and mapped that route out this evening. If you know of anything better from down here I'm all ears.. I wanted to make the Drag night also but the others are not interested in that and we didn't want to drive it alone... ------------------ Fred J.

PaulR	Here is our tentative route and schedule for those of us leaving the Dallas/N. TX area. Depart Mon. June 3 @ 12:00 Noon drive to Amarillo arrive approx. 6:00 p.m. Depart Tues June 4 @ 9:30a.m. for Taos, NM arrive Taos approx. 3:00 p.m. Mntn time. Spend the afternoon and evening in Taos sightseeing, shopping etc... then an evening cruise to the Taos Ski Valley roads. I found several awesome B&B's in Taos, now to decide on which one to stay at. Depart Wed. June 5 @ 9:30 a.m. for Westminster, CO. Arrive approx. 3:00 p.m. for check in at the Westin aand then off to the drag strip. This will be an awesome drive from Raton, NM to Taos through the mountain hwys. I hope to hook up with the S. TX Kats Wed. a.m. @ I-25 & Hwy 87 in Raton, NM perfect spot to meet and then cruise into Denver area. Anyone with some ideas feel free to jump in. You can e-mail at pjr1108@attbi.com ------------------
jpo350	I was planning on leaving DFW on Tuesday. I am trying to determine when and at what point to join a herd of Kats. On Wednesday, I want to sightsee between Albuquerque and Pueblo. On my first day, I put down a lot of miles, ie 500+. ------------------ Joe Powell Denton, TX jp51@att.net This message has been edited by jpo350 on 05-29-2002 at 09:01 AM
prwlyn	Hey Joe, your welcome to join us from Houston. We're leaving on Tuesday morning and plan on staying in Wichita Falls Tuesday night. We'll stay in Dalhart on Wednesday night and head into Westminister Thursday. We should hit the Dallas area around lunch time Tuesday and Wichita Falls about 3:00 PM. I need to find a hotell there yet. E-mail me if your interested in joining in and I'll send you my cell phone number. We've got 5 cars going. ------------------ Fred J.

jpo350	Fred, I will be running a day ahead of you at first. However, I think I may be able to catch up with you guys on Thursday for a ride into Denver. We might even find the guys coming in from Arizona then. You might consider making Raton, NM (I-25) on your day two. There will not be much to slow down for in west Texas, and you will probably be running pretty good that day. You would like Raton a lot better anyway. ------------------ Joe Powell Denton, TX jp51@att.net
bbrighton	Fred, Would you do me the favor of posting (or emailing, if you prefer) the MapQuest URL for the specific route your group is planning on taking? I'm trying to work out the logistics of flying in and joining one of the Tx katavans (is there more than one?) for part of the trip West. Many thanks! -brad
davidn	brad, I'm planning to depart Dallas on monday around 9:00 am via 35e north to 380W then to 287N to I-40w stop at Amarillo for the night then I-40W for a few miles then north on 87 to to Dalhart then to Raton N.M. then us 25 North... 3 cars are planning to depart monday around noon and catch up with me on the first day... BTW I saw your car today at bankston when I dropped mine off for a oil change I will post a picture of your car tomorrow .I didn't have my camera with me today ... most of us live very close to bankston and I'm sure one of us can meet you at dealer and leave from there...that is if you get in on monday to get your car... my cell #972-670-3911 ------------------ davidn This message has been edited by davidn on 05-29-2002 at 06:43 PM
prwlyn	Brad, the MapQuest doesn't do the route we are taking, at least not in one map so here it is and you can plug it into MapQuest and get a printout. We're planning on being in Wichita Falls Tuesday afternoon/early evening. Then Wednesday morning we'll pull out of there about 8 or 9 AM and head to Dalhart, should be in there about 4 or 5 PM.. We'll leave out of there Wednesday morning about 8 or 9 AM and head to Westminster and should be there about 3 PM... If you plug in thoes cities you'll get the exact route we'll be on excecpt for the "downtown" pieces it likes to add to the directions. I'm looking for places to stay out on the Highways so we don't go into the cities.. Like PaulR and DavidN, I'll have the cell phone on at 713-502-2486 for the whole trip.. I think you have the choices now so you should be able to hook up with anyone of us.. Look forward to meeting you.. ------------------ Fred J.

jpo350	The Kat just woke up and is ready to roll. I guess I am out of here for somewhere in west Texas or New Mexico today. Clear the roads...here we go!!! ------------------ Joe Powell Denton, TX jp51@att.net
