    How many miles is everyone going to be driving to get to the Round-Up this year? It looks like I have about 630 miles to go. Is anyone from the south going up I-65 Thursday morning?

    Zero for us.:( As much as I would love to go, we are so buried with work there's no way we can make it. This is the one gathering I want so much to attend, too.:cry: One of these years we will make it to one of the round ups.

    Same here this year, but it is one event that once you have gone you are hooked!!! Some great people, and some incredible cars!!! It would great if you and Dale could make plans in advance to make it next year, it's driving me nuts that we can't make it this year. :cry:

    As soon as the date is annouced for next year's I am putting time off in advance!!! :)

    Hey Andy,

    It's about 470 miles....I made the drive when I picked up the '71 from Dave H.

    It's not a bad drive though. My rat terrier made the trip with me because my wife and girls were in Florida on Spring Break and I didn't have anyone to babysit him!

    Maybe you can make it next year (wherever it is).

    Good Luck to everyone on the road.

    Later,

    How far.....well, let's see....about 35 miles, give or take. :clap: :clap: :clap:

    Better than the 4.5 hour drive last year.....and a lot better than the miles some of you are making. Everyone be careful out on the road, and good luck. Looking forward to meeting some of you for the first time, and looking forward to seeing all of you again. I'll see if I can refrain from getting a $200 dollar parking ticket this time! :49: :49: :49: :dance: :dance: :dance:

    It's a long story, but it was in Knightstown, IN last year. I'll tell ya about it at the RoundUp if you like. Suffice it to say...I'm hoping that I have enough connections around here to prevent that from happening again this year. There was a picture in Shorthorns of it, and there was a post on here about it right after it happened last year. Still had a great time at the RoundUp in spite of that little incident! I'm hoping everyone else will do the same this year.

    Yep. If I'd realized it was a big deal I would have taken the time to drive over there and check it out.
