I was impressed with the size of the burgers and the number of men who turned out to your Tyler County hide-a-way. Just thinking about it this morning, I recall 15 men who were there and may be forgetting someone.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>I felt bad in not having our customary check in but the prospect of driving unfamiliar narrow roads in the dark presented a safety concern. As it turned out, I’m glad we broke up the group when we did. Bill, Allan and I were the first to leave and we discovered a large tree had fallen across the road about a mile or less from your house. Turning around on the narrow road with a ditch on one side and a drop off on the other was a challenge. I backed the car up for a couple hundred yards till I found a slightly wider area and carefully turned the car. I signaled to stop the cars of George, Mike and Jonathan as they were heading toward the fallen tree and Jonathan remained at your driveway exit to let the other men know the situation. By going the way of Route 18 to Route 2, it increased the drive time that it was dark by the time I got back home. Your map was of immense help.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Gary<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
