Thank you all for the friendly invite's.
You should try every effort .... You will meet a mindset of folks and feel like family, like you've known them forever.
Do go and enjoy, stay for the banquet...my bet you'll come away a member.
Davenport is a bit of bridge to far for me @ about 19 hours , @ 2.5 hour that's a breeze
I've been to KC ( flew) , Shepherdsville (drove 11 hours ) , and it was 17 hours to Springfield Mo. that was ONE long day.
After that one and drive home , I expect I have no more interest in solo marathon drives.
I even two day the 835 miles driving distance from Evansville, Indiana to Orlando, Florida for the NCOWS National.
And speaking of the National , and should you join NCOWS, go to that , just about 6 hours East.
If you go , I'll leave a light on for ya
