9th Annual South Padre Island TacomaWorld Meet - 07-14-2018

Hello everyone!!!!

I've been a little late in posting this but as the saying goes: "It's better late than never!"
I've been too busy lately but it's ok!!!! Being a husband, a dad to a newborn and having two jobs can keep a guy busy but it's all worth it and I wouldn't have it any other way!!!

It should go without saying but all Toyota rigs are welcome!

July 14th (it's a Saturday) is when we'll have our 9th Annual TacomaWorld Meet at South Padre Island. Hopefully this year we'll have a bigger turn out since last year we held it in May. Back to our regularly scheduled program!!!

And as before: I'll just copy and paste the meetup info from last year's thread.


If you're not going to be able to make it, please don't post any comments saying so. I'm not trying to sound rude or offensive, but when people post things like "Well, I can't make it out because so and so... ...take lots of pics guys!!!" it takes away some of the positivity of the thread.
Like I said, I'm not trying to be rude, just honest.

Request the day off if you think you might work that day.

For those of you in the SA area, you can ride out that same morning, preferably no later than 5:30 am from there:

I'm sure most of the people from the SA or surrounding areas will probably leave 1 or 2 days ahead of time so no worries.

BUUUUUUUT since that might not be convenient for everyone you can always just hit the road and either meet up somewhere along the road/at a stop or at SPI

From there we'll drive down to the Corpus area and meet with the guys and or gals from there in an area:

From there we'll ride down and stop in Harlingen to refuel (there is a Bass Pro Shop where we'll meet) and meet up with more people in that area if they haven't already headed to SPI. From there we'll head out to Port Isabel and get everybody together in the Walmart parking lot and wait for about 30-45 minutes for any stragglers and buy stuff for grillin'and beers and chips and what not...





So

5:30 Leave SA -5:45 am the latest - (For those leaving the SA area that morning)

7:30-7:45 Leave Corpus area after meeting up with the tacomaworldlings from there. Meeting at the Walmart at this address :

3829 U.S. 77
Corpus Christi, TX 78410


9:30-9:45 Arrive in Harlingen, maybe refuel there. Meet more tacomaworldlings there. We'll meet in the Bass Pro Shop parking lot in Harlingen, wait for about 15-20 minutes for any stragglers.

101 Bass Pro Drive, Harlingen, TX 78552

10:30-10: 45 Arrive/ meet everybody in Port Isabel walmart parking lot, buy any last minute things…

11:15 leave together for SPI then regroup outside of Access 5 before going in.



With 2-3 stops between SA and SPI that timing sounds about right...

Well hell ya!! For those coming from Houston hit me up! Let’s travel together.

Anyone know a patch maker? Let’s get a Tejas TW Annual Meetup Patch rolling!

 

ooh, patches, that sounds like a great idea!!!!

 

From Brownsville Tx meet with you guys at the Bass Pro.

 

Hmmmmm

 

So just to clarify is the plan to leave the morning of the 14th?

 

That is correct, sir!

 

Should we just rename this SPI Toyota Takeover since a lot of guys from t4r.org and such go too? Looking forward to this year since I was in the hospital last year, and got kinda wasted for the 2016 one and couldn't make it DOH!!!

 

Ohdang! Since our 10th Annual Meet is just around the corner why don't we title next year's thread exactly that for the 10 year anniversary? I think that would be an awesome name for the 10th year's thread!

 

You already know im in!!! 5 years in a row baby

 

I talked the wife about this the other day, believe we are gonna make this, had just bought the tacoma last year when this was being held, or it was just held.

 

Lets get a convoy group going in the SA thread sir. We can meet somewhere south of SA and head down to the central meeting point..

 

According to op there is one scheduled to leave at 0530.

 

haha.. my reading skills have been far from acceptable the past few days. I blame tax season

 

I just meant that's early. Not sure I want to get up that early on a weekend to drive on a windy, flat beach

 

Ya but I don’t plan on driving back that night
