I'll have to ask my friend if he'll be up for it. I'm game though, we'll have to play it by ear and see...

John, Daniel what you think?

It would be hard for me to leave town before 7 PM and with a 6 hour drive time, that would put is in around 1AM.

Leaving Friday morning would work better for me as I have to take my dogs out to my parents house and then pack.

I wouldn't be ready to go till like 9 if we tried to go Thursday night.

If you headed to Conway for the night, leaving at 7, you could be to Conway by 9 or 10 at the latest, then an earlier start in the morning. It will still be 3-4 hours from Conway to Broken Bow.

Let me know if you are interested in coming this far at least.

Thanks for the offer. I am udecided right now about going. If I could stay through Sunday I would be for sure, but only being able to stay through Saturday is putting doubt in the plan. I am not ruling it out yet, and that would be great to be able to get down there earlier on Friday. SO, if I go I may take you up on that offer.

I'm really interested in doing this Fat Man...I'll have to ask my friend to see if it's doable for him though...I'll let you know tomorrow what the skinny is...

Well, it sounds like the Memphis guys might get an earlier start on Friday if they stay in Conway Thursday night.

If that's the case, then Daniel, maybe we could get an earlier start on Friday morning and meet them?

John, Scott, Fat_Man (are you still thinking about joining up on Friday?), just let us know what the plan is. I think we have some flexibility on our end (at least for Friday morning).

Cheers :coffeedrink: ,

Yeah early is good with me. The sooner we get there, the more time we have to setup and then go have some fun.

EDIT:
My friend just called me back oddly enough and said that he is a go for Thursday night to Conway. We would be leaving Memphis probably around 6pm.

Cool. Yea, I am still a go, especially with the Memphis guys getting an earlier start.

I was shaky there from a bit when it was looking like folks might be so late even getting to Broken Bow.

As it stands, with the Memphis guys coming to Conway, I think getting to BB by lunchtime should be pretty do-able.

So what is the total count for who plans on staying here Thursday? I see 2, is that the total?

I will go grab the twin mattresses from my friends house. That should be better than offering just floor.

We'll wait to see if John can make it, if he does then there would be 3 of us and 2 rigs...if he can't make it then there will be 2 persons and 1 rig...

I'm not going to be able to make it this time. Sure wish I could though. Someone please take pictures and do a write up. Scott, if you are still thinking of a repeat next month, I should be able to make it then.
