I just got back in town, and the car developed a squeak in the front suspension. It's going in Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. The next few days will be really, really busy!

I'll be doing that too, the painter will not like me. It'll be in the shop getting some rust touched up and rock chips taken care of next month. VW won't warranty it unless it's rusted thru and I won't let it get that far!

Me too Nate. I've done nothing. I'll probably start looking around for stuff Tuesday or Wednesday.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I don't pack until right before a trip, or the night before if I have to get up real early. As long as you have some underwear and a toothbrush, you can pretty much accomplish anything.

CLEAN is a relative term.

CLEAN is a relative term. That is true, but when an odor wafts up, it becomes subjective!

OK, I've been flip flopping like a fish but I'm pulling the trigger. Flight is confirmed, now I just need to take care of all the other arrangements. I'm even going to make the fishing tournament! See you all there.

Blaine, were you able to arrange a ride from the airport? We'll have a full car load on the way down, but if need be I could run back out that way to pick you up. Or anyone else for that matter (guess I should check to see how far it is before I make any promises.  ).

I arrive in Branson Airport at 11 AM on Thursday and am renting a car, so if anyone needs a lift to Big Cedar, let me know.
On Sunday, I'm flying out of Branson at 11:36 AM, so if anyone needs a ride, I'll leave the resort by 9:45AM.

Lynda and I will be leaving early tomorrow morning (Tuesday). We hope to get to around the Indiana/Illinois border before we quit driving tomorrow evening. We hope to be at Big Cedar Lodge sometime late afternoon Wednesday. We need to leave shortly after lunch on Saturday to make it for dinner in Oklahoma that evening.

Ken, you going to be coming across on I-80 and then scooting down I-57 in Illinois? I'll be taking 80/94 to 80 to 57 Wed morning myself.
If looking for a place to stay for the night, I'd look for a place either East of Portage, IN or I'd wait until I was on I-57. That is unless you know of a good place to stay between those areas. There are a number of pretty rough areas along the highway between those 2 points.

There are a number of pretty rough areas along the highway between those 2 points. Scott -- it is always a toss-up whether we take I-64 or I-70. For this trip, I-80 is too far north. This time I think we'll take I-70 across to St. Louis. It always seems to be faster going around places like Columbus, Dayton, and Indianapolis, as compared to going through/around Huntington, Lexington, and Louisville. The difference in the routes from our place to St. Louis via either route is less than about 15 miles. Tomorrow night, we figure we'll make it past Indianapolis, but not as far as St. Louis. We've made the trek a lot of times, and have had pretty good luck with chain motels along I-70. See you all there! Todd -- are you flying?
