The Marshall Plan
Hi guys,
In case you haven't heard the news, the Marshall bus tours are (tentatively) set to start back in July. I plan on coming back down to Huntsville to check it out (excited!).
I thought I might attempt to get a small group of alumni together of those who might be in the area to go and rediscover the "new" Marshall tour together as a group. The date I am shooting for is July 21 (moon landing weekend), assuming the tours start back as planned on the 15th.
Anyone up for it?

Man i have been waiting for the tours to start for a long while. In fact, i went back to the hall of fame with Vincent and Jason two years ago for the tour. It didnt happen, i was sad.
If we can do another get together i might be up for that. Keep me in the loop. Currently i am in the process of a job change, which also means my plane is going away. I will be in the Houston area now so i gotta figure out the transportation. It's too far to drive to Huntsville from Houston.

Well the exact time line I don't have at this point. I just commited to the move last week. In the future, when I'm in Houston, it means I will probably fly commercially to Huntsville. I would imagine that I will be hot and heavy with the house hunting next month.

Good write up, I wonder if all the old stops will be on the new tour. I saw mention of further tour stop development after starting again. I wonder what other things they could have in mind?

Once anyone knows for sure if the tour is a part of camp now, please post it here. Otherwise, I need to plan on doing the tour the day before I check into camp or the day I'm done.

We now have me, WesL, Steve, and Benji as going, Richasi and Airkale as possible, and -maybe- Vincent
I will wait to see how the bus tours go this weekend before calling to get a schedule for our Saturday. Still aiming at an early afternoon 1-2pm-ish as long as no one else has any objections.
Personally, I'm debating on if I should drive down Friday night, or wait till Saturday. Either way I'll likely stay the night, if anyone else who is traveling wants to split a room (to make the trip easier).

Thanks Steve! Good work. I will call and find out the times for the 21st. Only two stops though...kinda disappointing! I know they will drive us by all the test stands, but I was hoping for some new surprises.
