    In the original post, there is a list in RED that shows the people who have thrown their tanks into the hat for the tour. This does not mean we will hit all of them but they are options at this point. Keep posting and letting us know if you are available and then we will try and make a decision down the road. Right now things look like they might be heading towards the west since we were in Des Moines for the last one!

    You can stop at my house also - although most people have already seen it. So, you don't need to work it in the schedule if we have enough other stops.

    Rob,

    Great to hear from you! We haven't set up a time specifically, but most people earlier in the year said that Saturday mornings is what worked best for them! If everyone wants to do later, I am ok with it. Rob's tank is killer to see...

    Chris, you may want to do away with the formatting on the first post. I can't see the last 2 names on the list, just towns.

    Also I might be around, but that is also a birthday weekend for one of the kids. Also I might be mid tear-down, hard to say, or else I might offer up mine.

    No reason to be nervous! It is always great getting to visit around a tank! One of the best ways to work through any issues you might have and also for others to see what they might dream of in the future!

    Hey guys, lets meet at the Hotel Marriot at 1250 Jordan Creek Pkwy at 9:30 AM in their lot on the North side of the building. If we want to arrange something else, we can! If there are any issues or you are going to be late call my cell 515-710-1899. This way we can wait and all ride together. I am having problems with PMs loading right now at work, so I will update the first post with addresses in it when I can!

    Does anyone care if we take pictures? Also do you mind if we use a flash when needed? If you do, please send me a message or let me know. I promise you'll also get a copy of the photos /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif
