Riders staged at the Gaylord Convention Center to be briefed by the Ride Captain and the Escort Service prior to departure.  After the families boarded the coaches, the procession departed for Canton.  Upon arrival at the Van Zandt County Line, LEO escort vehicles assisted with traffic control for the rest of the route to Dukes Travel Plaza, where a large contingent of East Texas Riders were standing a flag line to greet the buses.   After a short break, the procession departed for Lake Hawkins, and with the exception of three of our group who continued on to the final destination, riders were debriefed and our portion of the mission was complete.
