Red River Cafe Run

Chickie led us to food

B-Man led us to water

- 7:40 - Trouble, B-Man is asking if Runt is in or out.  It is 20 minutes to    Runt Awake and early awakening are not pretty.  The old 'Shampoo bottle    dropped from top cabinet with a thunderous boom' gets a response and    status is clarified.  - 9:17 - Trouble, pack is forming, no LOTR nor route has been identified.    Chickiefly is eventually pressured in leading the B-Route to Red River    Catfish  - 9:29 - Trouble, pack is buttoned up and ready to ride but Coyote is not    here.  Pack slinks back into McD's and orders more coffee.  - 9:33 - Dendweller arrives late and heckles pack for not being ready.    It refuses to accept responsibility for the delay.   - B-Route is started. TX Depart of Highways is missing a a golden opp to    repave FM zzzz.  The decision to selctively patch it with various materials    was a poor one.  - Chickiefly leads flawlessley with minor deviations from planned route.    Traditional gas stop at Exxon starts a new chapter to the journey.     Either:     - B-Man has misscribed the route    or     - Chickiefly has decided to strike out on her own    Of the 7 turns planned, one is executed flawlessly, 3 are blasted right    by even as B is standing on his seat pointing and 3 result in U-Turns    My personal favorite was the 'stop at stop sign, look in mirror and    see B/X point and light turnsignals and then proceed straight ahead.    Still a fine jobb by Chickie.  - Back at the gas stop, talk turns to proper spacing on the ride.  Wings    offers the interesting view that 'Spacing is good especially in the turns.    I hate to have to plow over people if the mess up in the turns'.  This is    stated with a whimsical grin.  X requests and is granted a changing of    pack order.  Following WIngs seems to be wise plan.  - Red River still serves good food  - B-Man takes over point and promptly leads us to a goat trail which    terminates into a large body of water.  Distractions of 'I thought    y'all wanted to see the lake' and 'The ferry will be back soon' are    swatted aside.  Review of GPS says we are nowhere/location does not    exist.   - Coyote announces he will lead pack to safety.  Back up the goat trail, 75    is found and ?? we are going North.??  Hummmm.  Pack announces    intention at next gas stop to run across to 377 and then down to Tioga    to split into Eat/west subpacks.  X's query of ''Why would you want to    do that?' is ignored and pack locks handlesbars into straight ahead    mode and proceeds.  - Pack returns home safely.  Time to go look at new tattoo sketch.
