[Jan 8, 2014] I 10 road trip to the Keys. (I 10 Road Trip)

[STRIPES]

I just noticed my industry (The National Pavement Contactors Assn) is having their bi annual meeting in Ft Lauderdale in January. I normally do not attend as it is usually located in places much farther north ie Charlotte, Memphis, Nashville and the like. Being it is where it is this time got me to thinking. (That is when I usually get into trouble.) But, the more I think about it, the more I am encouraged to make it a trip ultimately ending in the Keys. Still not fer sure but I can't think of a reason not to go. On the contrary, the more I think about it, the more attractive the thought gets.

No need for anyone to commit but I think I am going to do it. No iron butting. No pressure. No agenda. No nothing. Just a relaxing albeit long ride. It would be 3-4K miles roundtrip for me but this is my slower part of the season. Morris, Steele, Norton et. al. Same with all the FL crowd. All y'all would be on the way.

RAA event winter event?

Cool!

I'm going for sure but the date is not in stone yet.

Poor timing... We'll be in the Keys (Marathon) 12/28 - 1/4.
Hoping for good weather for our dates and yours!

Sounds fun, I always wanted to ride to the Keys. But I'm off the 2nd -15th. When y'all pass by I can jump in the group and ride maybe a couple of states. Keep us posted.

Ken...I assume you would come I-20 to I-49 putting you on I-10 in Lafayette? If so we could meet up in Lafayette. What day would you be leaving?

Nope. I plan on heading south on I35 I45 to your neck of the woods in order to take advantage of the more southern latitudes. I will be taking I 10 the whole way to FL. It will be a week earlier though. I was mistaken about the expo dates. Looks like I will be heading out on Friday the 10th of January. We can meet up wherever you like.

Steel, this looks like it fits your schedule. Sounds like more fun'sa brewing.

How many Rockets would it take to qualify as a RAA event? This would be the first "winter" RAA.

Spent the night in Marthon Key a couple of years ago. Too bad we are missing you this trip.
