Anyone in the Abilene Texas area?

[40]

I will most likely be making a trip to Abilene,Texas this weekend. Just wondering if there's anyone in the area? I'll probably drive across the Kansas Turnpike and then South on I-35 thru Oklahoma to Dallas and then West on I-20 .....will most likely be traveling alone....funny how all of your buddies disappear when you mention a 2-day 2,000 mile roadtrip

You will be about 300 miles too far east and south from me.
too bad, got some really good BBQ places here.

both my parents are from Nebraska, Mom is from Cozad, Dad was
from Crawford. spent alot of time on the Platt river as a young buck, floating along looking for choke cherries and sandhill plums.

aahh, the innocence of youth.

How and when are you making the trip back home? If you come over a few states East, and then turn North (say in Jackson, MS) and head North on I-55...you could take in a rod run (pre-'67) in Clinton, MS on Father's Day Weekend. Here is a link to last year's when it was a pre-'49 event:

I have canoed the Platte River many times....though I prefer the Niobrara.I have also shot lots of ducks/geese in the Platte River Basin.
                                                                                                           I've been known to stray off course a bit for a good Rod Run but......Mississippi is a bit too off course.....perhaps another time!
