Back-up Meet Location: Macy's parking lot @ 11200 Broadway St. (FM 518) #950 Pearland, TX 77584 (Pearland Town Center). This is only incase we get kicked out of the Medical Plaza.

This is a great time indeed. I actually took my 2500HD Diesel Crew on the run. Lots of great folks, great cars, great bikes, and great trucks.
At the Buc-ees stop the local police and DPS actually held traffic for us to clear the Buc-ees parking lot. The system to get all the vehicles through the toll, in a timely manner, worked flawlessly. Oh yeah..... the food was great on the island too. I highly recommend this run! Pulling into Buc-ees
