Texas Mile Caravan from Austin (March 29)...

**TxSwimDad** · 02-25-2009, 11:29 AM

CARAVAN INFO FROM AUSTIN to the Texas Mile:

Depart from Rudy's (Duval/183) location @ 7am Sunday morning (March 29). Estimated travel time is 3 hours according to the yahoo site. I think it was less than that for us while maintaining close to legal speeds. Anyone south can catch us along 183. I'll send you my cell if you want. http://maps.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTExNmIycG51BF9TAzI3MTYxNDkEc2VjA2ZwLWJ1 dHRvbgRzbGsDbGluaw--#mvt=h&lat=29.463825&lon=-97.511125&zoom=8&q1=Research%20Blvd%2C%20Austin%20 %28Travis%20County%29%2C%20TX%2078759%2C%20United% 20States&q2=28.609985%2C-97.611278

Pls let us know if you are planning to join the caravan.

That early in the morning we can use 183 most of the way down. Please gas up before 7 am.

Pls RSVP if you want to cruise there w/ Capital City Modern Mopar.

I'm ok with that, not that I'm scared of the power (its not quite up to the Alcohol Dragster) though I sure got a lot of grief back home.

Just think how much I would get if my wife understood my Magnum is practially making 4X the HP that her H3 Hummer is......

I might be able to make it I'll let you know by the next dinner.

I want to make it, but I may try and carpool with someone as I don't need to be spending all the gas money without a regular paycheck right now. Anybody need a navigator?

I'll have to tap out. I got an invitation to explore NY city with a friend.

My Deepest regrets! I really wanted to do this!

Just an FYI….

As much as I hate to do this, I am cancelling out on going to the Texas Mile this weekend.

The big dawgs (Lou & Nathan) won’t be running and I have things to do at home.
