Riders staged at both Love Field and Rip Griffins.  Etex came to Rips with over 60 bikes.  When they fueled up, we rode in to Dallas Love Field to wait for the arrival of CWO Gaudet on SW Airlines.(who flew him in for free)  As soon as the transfer was made to the coach, we began the escort from Dallas to Gladewater.  LEO support was stuck behind the escort out of Love Field but finally caught up to the front.  There was a fuel stop in Mineola.  Looked for Big Mike and was told he dropped off at Wills Point due to heat.  He caught up at Gladewater.  LOTS of support all the way to Gladewater from city fire and police and residents.  Very moving to see all that support.
