Leaving Springfield, LA at daybreak Thurs morn,will be some interstate riding, short cuts (55mph), country roads and once out of Little Rock, we plan on Hwy 7 scenic route through the mountains...looking at 10+ hrs per google maps. So, when we're tired we stop for the night. Springfield, MO will be out of the way for us, heading Joplin way (will play this one by ear)...just be on the lookout for us on I-44 (old 66) and US166 on Friday. Will be checking into BW and relax a few. Call us @ 985-351-2884, if Alden does not answer it will be because he's driving, we'll call you back once we stop.
While it's on my mind, I will be needing to use someone's extra MD, I know I have room for my gloves and 2 digging tools, & pin pointer not sure if the headphones will fit.
2 extra campchairs in the field will be needed... Burdie, you got that covered for us?
