NTEC Shreveport Cruise - November 3-4, 2012
Dates: Saturday, November 3rd through Sunday, November 4th
Meeting Time: 8:00AM
Meeting Location: Einstein Bagels - Dallas, TX
Destination: Downtown Riverfront - Shreveport, LA
Total Distance: ~550 miles (roundtrip)
Hotel: http://www.samstownshreveport.com/
Sam's Town Hotel & Casino on the Downtown Riverfront will be the official NTEC hotel. Room prices are $166/night for up to 4 people. We realize this is not a cheap hotel so if you'd prefer to stay elsewhere that is understandable; if you need help finding one please let me know and I'll do what I can to help. No matter where you stay, we'll have tons of fun as a group Saturday night then meet back up late Sunday morning for breakfast/brunch before heading home.
The exact route is going to remain private to prevent law enforcement from staking it out (yes, it's happened). Maps of the exact route will be provided to all drivers the morning of the cruise; this will ensure everyone knows exactly where we're going just in case the group happens to get separated. We will make regrouping stops as required to keep everyone together though and we have a BBQ lunch spot about halfway through (not the same one as last time!). It should be a very fun and scenic route taking us through two national forests! Sunday morning will be an easy < 3 hour drive home on Hwy 20.
Unfortunately E85 stations will not be available outside DFW until Shreveport/Bossier City, LA so please make alternate arrangements whether it be carrying spare jugs in your trunk or switching over to a pump gas tune when needed. If you're tuned on E85 please make sure to have the appropriate tune or OTS map loaded into your Accessport or laptop so you can switch over quickly at a gas station.
Everyone is welcome to join so please feel free to bring your spouse, kids, friends, etc! I hope to see all the regulars plus some new faces

Make sure if you want to go and stay in the hotel that has been selected..... You go directly to thier web site. Google it "Sams Town Shreveport". Don't use any of the travel sites. They will all show it's books but they have lots of rooms.
But also don't wait until the end of October to book. They will be sold out.
