    Question Springfield, Mo - is it a go?

    After a month in the shop I'll be picking the spyder up tonight. And I really want to go to Springfield.

    My confidence level isn't high but my will to go - is.

    If it makes it home tonight(without incident)...100 miles in total.

    I may well do it.

    Hope it's not to late......it's kinda late to be making reservations and all.

    If it were my pup, I'd do the same. That's why he/she picked you.

    Thank you! Will give them a call when I get back this evening.

    You would be welcomed with open arms my friend.

    I understand that the Best western coach house may have a couple of rooms left, be sure to tell them you are with the Spyderfest Group.

    Jer, I am so happy you are considering going, we rode back together I don't know 5 years ago, and had a blast{, sort of}. I ran out of gas, and we had that overturned big rig blocking the lanes in scorching heat.😅 If it's ok I am gonna ask the misses if I could take off 10 days, are you leaving on Sunday? Maybe I could join you on the ride out? I too would have no reservations, oh well. Lol

    Per the clerk I spoke with. They're overbooked for the entire week. Sounds just like an airline we've heard a lot about lately.

    But, THANKS AGAIN!
