Sandy and I will be hitching up the fifth wheel to Babe the Blue Ox Saturday and heading to Wichita Falls, TX. I will be making a couple of presentations on the alcohol drying process at the South West Association of Turners symposium. Hope to see a lot of old friends and make a few more.

We will be traveling I84 through OR into ID then picking up US 30 in Pocatello to I80 and on to Cheyenne, WY. Then head South on I25 through Colorado to Raton, NM and hang a left onto US87 to Dumas, TX. From there we will be traveling on US 287 to Wichita Falls, TX. Any intrepid souls along the way up to a short visit or cup of coffee? We will be checking email along the way and checking into the forums.

Lots of folks will be waiting for you Dave. My trip wont be quite as long, as I live in Ft. Worth Tx. about a hundred miles south. Hope to meet you there. Drive carefully. Lots of idiots out there with a couple hundred horses under the hood and want to show them off. Max

Hey Max

Hi Max,

I guess that means you will be front and center for the first presentation. I got 300 horses of my own to help stay out of the harms way.

Hi Dave,

Your route to SWAT is a little north of me. I'll be heading into W.F. for SWAT on highway 82.

BTW there is a bluegrass festival going on at the RV park on 3rd & Burnett that weekend. Paper reported over 2000 people attended last year.

Things will be hopping an'a turning in W.F.:D
