Hi all. Maximus_Flavius and I have been hashing this out this evening and there is a lot of room for changes and suggestions. We are planning a run to Vicksburg, MS for March 16th-18th (tentative but pretty firm). I have created a route with sleep stops and it should be fun. We ultimately want to stay off of the superslab so its all B roads (except for post Vicksburg to West Monroe - done for expediency). The battlegrounds we intend to cover are as follows:
Pleasant Hill, LA
Port Gibson, MS
Champion Hill, MS - deleted 1/5
Vicksburg, MS
Mansfield, LA
That is the proposed order.
Day 1 start will be Waco, large breakfast followed by a boatload (imperial measurement) of riding.
I have two overnight stops set, both ending the days riding at approximately 5-6pm on days 1 and 2. Starting time will be 7:30am each day (or around there anyway), this will put us in at all of the battlefields with enough time to gawk, photograph and linger at each one.
I have not planned anything yet for fuel/pee/food stops and your input would be welcome, especially on the food.
Be warned I am a complete rookie at trip planning and if someone wants to take it and run with it that actually has a clue I will be happy to turn it over to them. (If you want to look at it PM me your email address and I will send you the link to it)
We currently have five people who have expressed interest and if anyone would like to get in on this please let us know. March is a long way away so no bookings of any kind will be made until February or so.
So with all of that said, here is the in/out list: (I will let the other interested parties sign themselves up as they figure it out)
In: BigKev72, Maximus_Flavius, Zephyr, c_m_shooter (partial to MS),centexrider(+Steve), misterk, garyra, txesq, texasrider58, dirtryder
Outer than out: Mitchntx, my6, traveldiva, LeloTX, Zephyr, rsquared.
Maybe:
