The people who are travelling the day before and staying at Best Western Irving, we should meet up!
Aspen Creek next door for dinner/drinks? I like that place, they once gave me free cheesecake...

Loving the fact lots of you are coming in on the 7th and not the 8th. If anything is close to DFW 2 of the 3 cars will be ready to chase so could be some bonuses - Woohoo
Is that on the 7th AND the 8th?

starting to get all my gear together, does anyone have any recommendations for tripods? I've found one which is light weight and has clip legs locks instead of screw ones for speed.
I use the Manfrotto "190go!". It's not the lightest, but it is very study. This is definitely worth bearing in mind because it can get pretty windy. Manfrotto have some smaller and lighter travel tripods too, if I recall correctly. And I believe they currently have a sale on
I've never found the screw ones a problem, but I guess whichever you find easier is the way to go.

Exactly 10 weeks until I fly out!
Can't wait for some proper weather; I'm sick of this snow, and I haven't even seen any yet.

Need some advice on flights. Flights to london are only in the evening or over night. So am I best to stay one more day and travel home on the 20th? And not risk it for the 19th?
I'm flying back on the 19th: BA0192 to LHR departing at 18:00.
And I'll be landing into DFW on the 7th. I'll have been in the country since the 4th though, so hopefully I'll be over the jet lag by then...

I thought I would start a thread for Tour 4 to submit their photographs for the competition.

For anyone on T4 this year if staying over night at Days Inn, Tower Rd, Denver on the 9th then there is a nice bar/grill just on the other side of Tower Road called Vinnys. Went there for beer/food last year and very reasonable. Oh and they sell Bluemoon too !! So anyone looking to eat / drink on the 9th, I'll meet you there!
also there's a Village Inn next door which do a nice breakfast for the morning of the 10th if you don't want a Days Inn free "breakfast"!
Sounds like a plan! See you there.

Hey Sam
Great to have you back on board this year, always meant to ask did you keep in touch with that lovely waitress ?
Hi Paul! Haha not really, unfortunately. I think, "happy Fourth of July" and then, "thank you", is the longest conversation we've had in a while...

Tour 2 2019
in Storm Chase USA

I was supposed to be on the 6 o' clock flight, but BA have changed it to 10pm... and they've also decided to stick me on an Air Belgium aircraft on the way over whilst they repair some engine fan blades!
