It's gonna come to Harlingen (TX) which is about 1/2 hour from here.....
Wild horses ain't gonna keep me from going there...!!!

I have several friends on the Operating crew for the 844 and 3985, and trust me, there is to come a trip announcement that you'll really like, coming real soon. A definite PR dream for sure.

They are gonna put quite a few miles on her!

UP date.....Here's link to the actual schedule...Seems they're coming even closer to home. Last stop on the tour (one way) is going to be in Olmito, which is about 20 min. away...!!!
