Are you on my trip route?

[Whoa_Nelly]

Am driving I-40 from CA to OKC beginning of November, and then coming back via I-40, I-25, and then I-10 to pass through Tucson to see friends.

[GOPisEvil]

1. Nope. You miss me.

Darn your bad luck. :evilgrin:

[titoresque]

2. You going anywhere near Phoenix?

and by near I mean......going through Phoenix? :)

[Whoa_Nelly]

5. After I leave Tucson

I usually use the Buckeye cut-off to avoid traffic, but....

[titoresque]

9. well if I'm not on your ignore list

by then, maybe we could get together.:) Im sure PatriotMom and Lonestarnot would like to meet you too :)

[Whoa_Nelly]

11. That would be awesome!

We could meet for coffee or brunch...something like that.

When I leave Tucson, i usually make the 10 hour drive to Central CA all in one day...'course, in November, that would also depend on if it's foggy days here in the valley or not...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

3. We live 6 blocks from I-40 in downtown OKC...

What are headed this way for?
Duckie

[Whoa_Nelly]

6. To visit friends

and hopefully will have some job interviews. If I get a job, will be mving BACK to OKC...it's where I grew up :hi:

Maybe we could meet for coffee or drinks...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

8. I agree!

It would be so fun...Maybe we should have an OKC DU Meetup while you're here!
Duckie

[Whoa_Nelly]

10. Get it started!

And let me know!

Am kind of planning an overnight in Tulsa Thurs. Nov. 6, but will be to OKC by about noon on Friday.

BTW....ever go to Cousins for drinks? Or that place on Lake Hefner?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

12. Bahama Breeze?

It's got a great view...I was thinking something down in Bricktown. Mostly for selfish reasons though. I'm not good at planning stuff like that. Any other OKCers willing to plan something?
Duckie

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. Bricktown would be good

Haven't been down there since it's been re-urbanized...geez, last time down there was about 1969 when I went with my brother who went to score a matchbox of pot :rofl: He made me stay in the car...it was creepy then... I KNOW it's much different there now!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

45. Yeah, totally...

It is safer than Mayberry.
Duckie

[hippywife]

13. We're in Tulsa! n/t

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. Hi there

Am visiting my stepmom, but she goes to get her hair done early on Fridays, so, I'll be leaving there around 9 AM...maybe meet for coffee?

[hippywife]

17. Coffee would be great.

[Whoa_Nelly]

[hippywife]

25. Got it and back attcha! n/t

[hippywife]

27. Just realized something...

[Whoa_Nelly]

29. You are right

DUH!

Was looking at Oct. calendar. Will be in OKC Nov. 4-13, Tulsa trip part will be Nov.11-12...

[hippywife]

31. That makes the 12th a Saturday and that would be

doable. When you can, PM me the location of where you will be spending the night and I can find a suitable place near there to meet. Will look forward to it.

[Whoa_Nelly]

33. Shoot! Will I ever get this calendar stuff down right????

I meant I'll be up on Thurs. the 10th and leaving Friday back to friend's house in OKC.

:spank: me!

[hippywife]

34. Well, still let me know closer to time

and we can see what we can do. :)

[Whoa_Nelly]

37. Will do!

:)

[maine_raptor]

4. When you get to OKC

Hang a right and come to Maine.

[Whoa_Nelly]

7. Would love to see Maine!

Wish I had the time...and the bucks

[qnr]

24. Stop by here in ME too (you missed me by about 5 weeks, I lived off

I-40 in Western Oklahoma)

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. Apparently your western terminus

isn't too far from me.

Wave when you get back. :hi:

[Whoa_Nelly]

18. What part ?

Am near Lemoore NAS

[Oeditpus Rex]

40. Mmm... not too far

Get on 5, go up to 152, get off and go west over Pacheco Pass. You're warm. :D

[Whoa_Nelly]

42. Aha! You're in

Casa de Fruta country!
(I remember going to Casa de Fruta when it really WAS just a little roadside stand!)


Or Gilroy the Garlic Capitol of the World!

[Oeditpus Rex]

44. Gilroy?!?

Ew! Ew! Ew! :puke:

Wouldn't live there on a bet.

You were closer with Casa de Fruta.

[hfojvt]

19. are you going to be listening

to Head East on the way out?

You are not going far enough to see me.

[Ptah]

20. I'm in Tucson.

I'll wave as you go by.
:hi:

[Whoa_Nelly]

23. What part?

Am staying in Tucson for three days. I know the town pretty well...lived there.

[Ptah]

28. I work on the U of A campus,

and live near Prince and Campbell.

When is your trip?

[Whoa_Nelly]

32. WIll be in Tucson

Nov. 15-17

I know the area where you live. Will PM you when I'm in town to see if you want to meet up for coffee or a drink :)

[Ptah]

35. Since you've lived here you must have a favorite

spot.

I'll look forward to it.

:toast:

What part of Tucson were you living in?

[Whoa_Nelly]

38. I like that place on Ft. Lowell and Campbell

Fireworks?? Damn..can't remember the name of the place Firecrackers??

Also, I LOVE The Blue Willow restaurant!

Anyway, lived east side when going to high school there, then NW off Cortaro and Thornydale for past 2.5 years while I went to design school.

[Ptah]

39. The Blue Willow is excellent.

The closest name I can think of near Ft. Lowell and Campbell
is Pastiche.

That's probably not it.

Anyhow, I hope you have a pleasant and safe trip.

Now, everyone sing along:

"Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's a happy one for you.
Happy trails to you,
Until we meet again.
Happy trails to you,
Keep smilin' until then."



:thumbsup:

[Whoa_Nelly]

41. My bad...Ft. Lowell and Swan

Firecracker!
Asian American Bistro (that's what they call it!)

[Ptah]

43. Sounds good.

Their menu looks appetizing.

http://www.dotucson.com/restaurant.asp?qry=14


Cashew Chicken
Red and green bell peppers, water chestnuts, snow peas, scallions and cashews.

Pacific Rim Salad
Salmon seared with Pacific Rim spices, served with snow peas, cucumbers, tomatoes and cilantro vinaigrette.

:thumbsup:

I can't decide.

If you remember the Tucson Weekly, { http://www.tucsonweekly.com}
you might appreciate this snip from Tom Danehy's column,
topic 'Two kinds of people.'

"Those who think that Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat, pompous,
lying drug addict who would be in jail if he were an average
citizen and those who know he's lost some weight."


I've been on the keyboard too much today.
