8th Annual South Padre Island Tacoma World Meet 05-27-2017

Hopefully it won't be your last!
One month away!!!!!

We're so ready for the beach!

 

I need to get on that. -__-

 

My girl and I will only be out there for the day. We'll be nearing our 8th month of pregnancy towards the end of May so I hope the entire day itself won't be too hard on her.

 

See ya there!

 

I'm pretty new around here, I'm definitely going! Can someone tell me what all we will be doing?

 

I'm hoping to keep on going from here on out! Tacoma rule!

 

We're going to be drinking beer
bbq'ing
Sand 4 wheeling and exploring. Hopefully some fishing also

 

Bring tow straps, lots of water and check out as much as possible on your truck. Don't forget to pack a shovel.If you're bringing the little lady the only bathrooms are by access 5 entrance according to what I've been reading.

 

Ooooh that's good info to know! My girl and I will be at the end of 7 months pregnant by then.

 

26 days away!!!!

 

Dang, I've got to start working on the going/maybe list!

 

I think im going to make this meetup got the time off for Friday since i have to drive down from DFW

 

Im a maybe for the moment. I already have a couple trips planned for the month of may and its a long drive from DFW, and that headwind is a B!

 

Cant wait for this!!! Last year was awesome so I will def be out there again this yr!!

 

Follow me down we can take turns drafting off each other

 

Was talking to a buddy this past weekend that's in the car club that Im in, as it turns out I missed a Hill Country cruise, they made a channel on the Push To Talk app "ZELLO". He said it worked great. Has anyone else used this? He said he added their own channel and everyone on the Hill Country cruise jumped on it and was able to talk to each other just like a CB. Its a free APP, I just added it to my HTC android.

 

Those apps work great... as long as you have a data signal. Some place like Padre that can be hard to have. I had some a couple of weeks ago down at the cut.. and up by the welcome station. Places in the middle, not so much. The beauty of a CB is they just work, and given the beach is fairly flat on the ocean side of the dunes, you can talk a long way on it.

 

well once im on the beach I'll drive over and talk to you. Keeping Everyone together on the way down there though and meeting at certain places as people hop on the cruise down, I thought would come in real handy. Also if you fall back and need help just broadcast out on the channel. I used a different PTT a few years ago and it sucked but I heard this one was pretty good.
