When you coming up for the Pork & Brew? Are you bring the big rig or hit and run setup. Let me know if you need a place to park it when you get here -- Bill lives just across the ditch from me --

Hey Jim, we should be there by 11:00 am on Friday. Bringing the big rig so we can get out of that weather for awhile. Thanks for the offer though. See ya there!

I'll flag and clear a path for you -- need a dish washer?

Jay, how much travel time are you estimating for the drive?

It looks to me like the smart money is to take I-17 to I-40 and then across considering we're starting from North Phoenix.  Is that what you and Mon are doing or are you gonna take the Payson route?  I'm ballparking the trip at about 8 to 8-1/2 hours and then we lose an hour due to DST.

450 miles traveled it many times -- with stops and running speed limit no more that 7 hours --
yea that time change got me at Taylor -- thought I was behind and really had a extra hour --

Thanks, Jim.  Unfortunately, the time change is working against us on this trip.

We're looking forward to seeing you again!

We will leave Thursday after work and drive 2 hours to Forest Lakes through Payson. Stay the night and leave at about 6 in the morning. Probably be there by noon with the time change.

I just ran the shorter route through Payson into my GPS and it would save us about 100 miles round trip to go that way instead of the Interstate route.  We may have to reconsider our plans...
