In fact, all the forecasts are putting East Texas higher than 50% chance of rain each day this week until next Sunday. I've learned over the years that that really translates into 100%. They are predicting over 10 inches of rain for my area this week. Hurricane Harvey (or the remnants of Harvey) is predicted to move through East Texas and track into Eastern OK and Western AR.

So, having that said... sadly, I feel I'm pretty well out for the Pre-Rally ride on Talimena this coming Saturday. I'm going to keep an eye on it and make a final decision Wed or Thursday, but I'm not hopeful.

As a side note..... my son and his family are expecting my 8th grandchild due at the end of September. Of course, Kathy and I are planning on heading down to San Antonio when he is born. That could conflict with my plans to attend Antlers. We'll just have to see.

The lastest track doesn't look that great but it could change 5 more times before Saturday. We'll just wait and see now.

Ahhh... Harvey has decided to track East of me. There may be hope after all. We'll see.

Hopefully the weather will cooperate with you.
Forecast here for Saturday is a slight chance of rain with temps in the mid 80's

**Framer** · 08-30-2017, 08:35 PM

I was hoping it would be ok with everyone if I pushed the time back to 10:00 or 10:30. That way Trip and I won't have to leave in the dark Saturday morning. We've decided to stay the night in Poteau and ride home Sunday morning

**BudMan** · 08-31-2017, 06:37 AM

See you then.

Things are looking good for us...only light sprinkles so far today in Little Rock...it should be all over with by tomorrow...

**wanderer** · 08-31-2017, 01:48 PM

10:00 sounds good to me. See you then.

**trip** · 08-31-2017, 04:58 PM

See you guys... looking forward to it.

**Framer** · 09-01-2017, 07:04 PM

60% chance of rain in the morning. If it's not heavy I'll ride through it if it is I'll get there as quick as I can.
