DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Doesn't look like I can make the Hot Springs trip, but want to do some wheeling in the next few weeks. Anyone interested in going to Hidden Falls? I'm thinking maybe June 24th I might try to make it down there for the day or possibly camp 1 night.

 

Ive been really wanting to go there, heard great things about the place

 

Interested. How far is the drive?

 

It's in Marble Falls. Looks like its about 4 hrs/225 miles away... a little NW of Austin.

 

For you maybe 3.. i think its same distance as austin

Edit: we can do it gumball style and make it in under 3

 

Under 3 at 4mpg lol

 

I had mine years ago. Pretty sure it's expired now. Haven't been diving in 5+ yrs. I Always just rented gear when needed because there wasnt anywhere close I wanted to dive, had to get a plane ticket and fly.

 

Count me in for a couple of days. Give me a chance to try out my new stove.

 

Challenge accepted! As stated yesterday, I drive everything like a sports car.

 

I got my CB so I can be the snow man to your bandit.

 

Youd be surprised how much the cops ignore the neon blue Taco.

 

That reminds me. My CB developed a loud squeal whenever I key the mic. SWR still checks out at 1.7 on Ch 1 & 40, and I can still receive loud and clear. Going to check my grounds, but not sure if I just have a bad mic. It worked just fine at Big Bend. No talkback feature and no difference when I move the mic so don't believe it to be audio feedback.

 

That sucks. Hopefully something easy to fix. Do you think you could bring your SWR to the next meet up or mod day? I'm hesitant to use mine until I can get it tuned.

 

No problem, I keep it in the truck. Are you still wanting to do the ECGS bushing install soon?

 

Yeah, when ever works for you guys @hoarder23, @Naveronski.

 

Army this weekend, moving next. Maybe June 10th?

 

June 10th would probably work for me too.

 

That should work for me. I'll offer my place again, but can go to anyone's place if they would rather use their driveway/garage.

 

Sounds good, unless @Naveronski wants to host at the new casa. I live in an apartment and my garage is a little cramped.
