Jezuz, the images are showing when I view the thread so I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Didn't at first, but they are now.
How far away would you be coming from? We made the trip from the east side of DFW to Brownwood in about 4-4.5 hours. It's about 200 miles, and easily done in a day. The route I took from Brownwood to the bridge is about another 45 minutes or so.
The trip there wasn't that bad. I've made three, and this was the second I've made on the Lightning (first with my girl riding with me), also did my first trip on a Blast.
