ForthWorth - Rodeo 25th October 2009

Following our meeting with John J Gilluly, III in down town Austin, we made a three hour trip to Dallas then over to FortWorth for a Texas style rodeo.

Mark was in his element and loved the atmosphere, we all did but Mark had the most fun because when he was younger he rode horses, bulls and it brought back fond memories.

Stayed at the Radisson in Fortworth but because we had to leave at 5am we ended up sleeping for 4hrs.

We decided to drive straight through to FlagStaff Arizona, Passing through Oklahoma,Texas, New Mexico and then finally Arizona.

17hrs with a few stops along the way, we finally made it. We found a nice but noisy hotel the Rodeway Inn right on the rail line.

We had dinner at a nice pizza diner call the Alpine Diner est. in 1973, a few slices of pizza and a pitcher of beer later we are finally in our room going to bed.

Tomorrow we are visiting the Grand Canyon which is a few hours from FlagStaff.
More updates tomorrow.

Cheers
Stewart

Ps. The meeting went great with DLA Piper, we all walked away with a clearer understanding of the direction Navsports has to take.
