Default Texas to Ohio.

I'm planning a trip from Houston, TX to Youngstown, OH in the next couple of months so I'm thinking I can take the mascot up that way if it's in Texas by then. It'll be a hard ride cause I'm not planning any leisure time (don't have vacation days, so any days away from work are unpaid) but I'll make a couple stops if a few people wanna sign the flag as I head up to Ohio. Or I can just take it up there and have it work its way back down...

I'll be going east through Louisiana, north through Mississippi, then northeast through Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio. Coming back I'll be reversing the route. If anyone wants to see a visual go to maps.google.com and put the directions from Houston to Youngstown. I'm looking in the June timeframe. Let's just hope all goes well like planned.

Once you make it to Youngstown we can meet you somewhere out there. I have family in Niles I should visit sometime soon. It's only about 5 hours from Indy to Youngstown.

That'd be cool. Maybe LTR could come down too since he's up in Cleveland.

Let me know the dates also. I have to make a trip from central IL to Western PA. Unfortuneately, I'll prob be in a cage, but would love to meet up with the group if possible. (I have to take my car, since I'll be going to see my mother. I'm only 56 and she's 91 but she'd still worry about her "little boy" on a motorcycle again. See, Heather, it's not just you. I've just gotten to an age and a geographical distance that mom knows about as much about my life as she did when I was a teenager.

I'll definitely put the dates out as soon as I finalize everything. 95% chance it's going to be in June. Is there any particular weekend that's good for you guys to help me coordinate my timing?
