pjlenihan & Ken Nicks travel plans to TX
We plan to leave Jonesville, NC Friday morning 5-18 and take mostly interstates.
Passing thru Charlotte, NC, Atlanta, GA, then I-20 west. We are undecided on our overnight stop for Friday night sorta depends on when our sore backs say enough already or when we have been on the road abt 10 hours. I tend to need a stretch/ pee break abt every 2 hours. Getting old is not for sissies. Message us if you'll be using that route so we can be on the look out for other British V-8 travelers. my cell is three 3six 462-one14seven. |

Visited the: [www.csbf.nasa.gov] a NASA facility here in Palestine, TX. This Hdqt for space balloon for scientific study. They were kind enough to allow us to do some autocross driving on a large paved launch site not being used today for balloons. 1st stop this morning was a dyne shop, who has the most power??

Fun day at a local restoration shop then a banquet with plenty of laughs. Our organizers did a fine job putting this event together, smooth and yummy food.
