Ok, those of us going can have a side meeting Tuesday night, but wanted to post the following here as it is on Club Cobra. I see that Mark has responded as going. Ian, I thought you would want to go as the leader of this group is James Yale, your cars' builder.
From James:
Hey there Cobra Family! We are planning an event on Saturday for all those that would like to join. I need to get a head count and who would like to participate so that we can make reservations. I need to know who would like to go to the winery, who would like to do the wine tasting (not required), and who would like to go to Salt Lick BBQ. Please see below for details and send responses back to me directly at jamesyale1@hotmail.com by 3/15.

-IMPORTANT: Need car count, if you want to go to winery, and/or if you want to do the tasting how many in your party.

Mark and his son Dan are following this group, I think Linda and I will go, but not sure really yet. Mike? Gene? Ian? Let me know and I or Mark can add you to the roster as they need a headcount by 3/17 for their reservations.
3/29 - Linda and I will leave the house around 7:30am and pull off at Cuba as previously mentioned around 9am or so. From Cuba to Dallas, it's about 9 1/2 hours of driving which puts us in to the hotel around 7:30pm Wednesday evening.
3/30 - Linda and I will be leaving the hotel around 8 - 8:30am and heading to the Silo's in Waco, Tx. The Fixer Upper TV show place. I think Mark and Ann are going with us...so, Ian, if you and Barb want to go, just letting you know we're going there before going in to San Marcos. It's 2 1/2 hours from Waco to San Marcos, so, I hoped to arrive there around 3pm, get parked and checked in. Be prepared for a very full parking lot and the possibility that we won't be able to park where everyone else has their trailers parked due to the number of people that arrive Wednesday. We'll see...there are people there directing you where to park. If you want, I can plan a short drive Thursday evening that put's us back before the parking lot movie, let me know.
3/31 - We'll hang with the group that we've hung out with before led by Court Smith. He usually leads a good pace and takes us to some interesting places. Supper on the parking lot of the hotel Friday evening. Lunch will be on the road Friday somewhere.
4/1 - Backdraft group cruise. Details above. We, the GCC group, will go to Supper in Gruene, Tx while the TX group has their banquet. Lunch details above with the Backdraft group.
Mark, for Ann, I know the Tx Cobra Club Girls get together and take the hotel shuttle to a nearby outlet mall on Friday or Saturday for a day of shopping while their guys drive. Just fyi. If there are particular places you want to see or go to, let me know, we'll figure something out.
4/2 - Linda and I typically drive straight through back, and will probably leave around 7:30 - 8am Sunday morning. Not to be rude or anything, but it always seems to take longer when caravanning together. We just need to make sure we make our stops short. Any other questions, let me know at the meeting or here
