OK, I've settled on doing the Houston County route. It's basically a big loop around Crockett. There's a camping option in Mission Tejas Park and a motel option (from what Dannyboy tells me) in Rusk, further northeast from the park. This ride is something along the lines of 375 miles. The original route has more of the mileage on day 1, so I'll likely take a different cut off to the park and move some miles to day 2.

We'll meet in Crockett at the Walmart (1225 E Loop 304, Crockett, TX 75835). Vehicles should be fine in the back of the lot overnight. I'm currently thinking about a 0900 departure from there, so something like a 0800-0830 meetup time. Make sure you're gas tanks are full and your tank is empty. Also, please test your camping gear rig on your bike. We don't want anyone losing some gear or worse, loose equipment causing a wreck.
As always, this is weather dependent. I don't find riding in lousy weather fun. I'll make a weather decision no later than 1800 Thanksgiving day. Be sure to check the thread before you go to bed, and definitely before you leave in the morning!
I hope to see everyone there!

I wanted to post a feeler to see who would be interested in a 2 day ride Black Friday and Saturday. I've got a couple candidate routes we could run, probably either the East Texas 500 or the Houston County route. If we get a few interested folks we'll draw up some firm plans and make it happen.
Hope some of y'all are up for it!
