Anyone interested in caravanning from Tulsa to Russellville on Friday, March 24?

Julie:

Scott & Maureen would like to tag along if you pass through Fayetteville like last year.

That sounds good, Scott.

FYI, there is a possibility that we might be driving over a day early (on Thursday) so we can pre-drive the route on Friday for our photo/video duties on Saturday.

Not a problem. If you do drive over Friday, then we'll tag along. If not, then we'll just see you there!! We'll watch this forum for any information.

Monica and I could make a 1:00 departure from Tulsa.

Looks like we will probably going on Friday. I'd like to avoid the construction on I-44 in Tulsa and 412 near the Verdigris River so am thinking of taking the BA/51 out of Tulsa and heading east through Wagoner, Hulbert, and Tahlequah, then Hwy 62 all the way to Fayetteville. According to Google maps, there's construction on Hwy 51 on both sides of Hulbert so I'm totally open to suggestions! If we take that route and leave Tulsa at 1pm, that would put us in Fayetteville around 3pm. Sunset is at 7:28 pm that day so we have 4.5 hours to play with. I'm not opposed to taking the interstate if we decide we want to arrive earlier. The interstate route is about 3 hours from Tulsa and less than 2 hours from Fayetteville.

Keeping a close eye on the weather forecast. That may have a major impact on the route and departure time.

Weather could be iffy. I need to be in Russellville by 5:00 for social. Do we want to post caravan on BMT FB page for other OK folks who don't check S2Ki?

JulieU

IDK. I don't think anyone else from Oklahoma is going beside us, Orlando, and Shawn and it wouldn't make sense for Shawn to come through Tulsa from OKC. Regardless, right now it's looking really bad for Friday so, as much as I hate to miss the Friday night social, we might end up waiting until Saturday morning to leave.

I've been watching this thread hoping there was going to be a caravan passing through Fayetteville. But with the way the weather is forecasting out, we may also just hit the Interstate to get to Russellville. We'll see everyone there Friday night.
