Sounds good. We can easily take a couple more guys.
Floyd, plan on me riding with you and splitting fuel costs. If we get enough folks going, I'll take my truck and we can store stuff in the back under the toneau.....dave

Room Reservations for Grizzly Jig Tackle Show - Jan. 26th - Jan. 29th
The best deal we've found for these dates are at the Comfort Inn in Hayti, MO which is 10-15 minutes from Caruthersville, MO., 1500 Highway 84, 1.573. 359.2200. I booked online through "Choice Hotels" as did IkenI. Room rates were $80.00 per night for a room with 2 double beds. Includes Breakfast. Reservations can be cancelled 24 hours before arrival date. There may be a "Special Rate" for Grizzly Jig. I will check on this and report back. The Receptionist indicated they typically fill up on the Tackle Show weekend. The schedule is to drive over on Wednesday, Jan. 25th and drive back to OKC on Sunday afternoon, January 29th. The drive is 554 miles and about 8 1/2 hours. If you plan on going, I suggest making your reservation now and cancel the reservation if your plans change. IkenI is taking his truck and can take 3 passengers who will be paying for the gas. Any other volunteers to take vehicles?
Eastern Oklahoma Area Group?
Is there any interest from the Eastern part of the State to make the trip? We could meet up somewhere on I-40 and travel together. Let me know and I can help coordinate ........dave
