[QUOTE="Jerry"] If someone can tell me where the most advantageous place for me to ride to and meet out of Houston, maybe I can make it part of the way. Jerry[/QUOTE] Comparison with the last ride to Mena. We arrived in New Boston about noon..That is just west of Texarkana, a few miles.. Just an idea.. and it is spontaneous. in response to your post.. haven't talked to anyone about it, yet.. If you seriously would like to join in on this ride, I'll offer to meet you somewhere around Longview, Marshall area.. I can't speak for anyone else, but right off the top of my head, I can't think of anywhere else that would be on your route.. On the last run to Mena, Morgan Kane rode up from your area, and joined us in Mena.. He made the run from Houston solo.. Morgan Kane had to leave just a bit early so he could join his wife in Lake Charles, so he spent most of his trip riding solo.. As much as we enjoyed his company and riding with him, I felt pretty bad for him making all those miles by himself.. Regards Bill Walker Irving
