[Robotgroup] Enchanted Rock trip (so long to PY) 2008-05-25

[Don]

Don and Sue are planning on staying Saturday night and maybe Sunday night in 
Kingsland and may be able to take Brooks one or both ways depending on whens 
and how longs and who else wants to visit the Brooks Estate Complex.    What 
is planned so far?  I've been out of the loop, down on the coast for most of 
the week.

Don

  A couple of other possable routing plans:
d) I can talk my neighbor into dropping me off at the park and I hang out 
with everyone and catching a ride back with Mike, Denice and PY whenever 
they plan to head back? (its only 10 minutes extra if you take hwy 71)
e) If Derek does want to come out he may want to go the northern route on 
1431 which goes right thru Kingsland?
