5th Annual South Padre Island Meet 07/26/2014

That's my guess! And their army of lifeguards. We have pretty much weekly close-calls to drownings. It takes a good force to keep an eye on everyone.

 

DAMN IT!!!! Looks like I'm NOT going to make it after all this year (2 years in a row) Wife and in-laws planned a trip to Chicago. We leave the 19th and won't be returning until the 27th

 

I would stay behind lol jk

 

What Nik said!

 

Well the taco isn't gonna be ready by then but I'm still gonna head down

 

Managed to get to SPI today. Bit of seaweed still left but the scent was already gone.
Might just need to hope that the 26th is a pretty day like this one!

 

What's up with your truck Cody?


And that beach is lookin good!

 

Looks good! Better then up here in CC

 

Eewww!

 

Count me in! I'll bring fireworks and fire wood. Murica!

 

I'm considering this trip and I've never been to SPI.
I see at least two from Houston possibly going, anymore?
I would be sleeping on the beach and wanting to do some surf fishing.
Do any of the members do this or do ya'll just hang out?

 

I'll be surf fishing and more than likely pitching a tent.

 

Ok, cool.
I have a cap on my truck so Id just stretch out on air mattres in the bed.

 

About how many miles up the sand does the group go?

 

Maybe about 3-4 miles. I don't really remember the distance, last time I went was last years meet. I should remember though since I'm from the valley!

 

ha ha funny because ive been trying to make this for 2 years too and this year my Vacay dates are also from 19th to 27th going to FL.

I was in SPI last year July 4th weekend with family and had NO idea this was happening while I was there.

 

Houston Group.
Lets try to get something worked out so we can have a small convoy
to travel down there together.
Maybe we can all meet up on 59S somewhere out of town early morning on the 25th.
I don't have a cruise control so I'd have to pull rocking chair or backdoor duty.
PM me a phone number if you'd like.

 

Mine.
Light weight and short wheel base. 4 banging and sure footed.
Go ahead and give him some love, I don't mind.

 

That's all? I was thinking clear to Mansfield Channel if it was safe and fuel allowed.

Hell last summer I made it 8 miles down North Padre Island on my streetbike during high tide.

(pics or it didn't happen)



I'm 95% sure I'll be attending this year. Just bought a Taco a week ago. I'll be coming from College Station. I'm down to pitch a tent and sleep on the beach. I've got a little propane grill I will bring for whatever meats people have. I would also love to try and make it to the Mansfield Channel and back. Who's with me?

 

Heck, down that far one could even let loose with ak's and M4's...if one was so inclined.
Cough.
