3rd South Padre Island, TX Meet 07/21/2012

Anybody here have a GoPro, or some kind of actual video camera not including cell phone cameras? It'd be cool to get some video while driving all together/hanging out on the beach!

I don't have a video cam, that's why I'm asking.

 

Beach entrance fee is $9 and you can get $5 back if you turn in a trash bag with trash in it on the way out. There is no other fee.

 

$9 per vehicle

 

Is the 21st still a go? It's so hard to follow all the threads here. If y'all want, join "Toyota Tacomas of Texas" on Facebook so it's easier for us all to communicate and its easier because of our phones...

I'll be starting from Marble Falls, maybe I'll meet some of you @ San Antonio or Austin.

 

Only certain spots have camping fees.. And that's because the city maintains that spot and keeps it clean

 

Isla Blanca Park has primitive Campsites.......they are over by the Dirty Al's. And yes they charge camping fees.

Camping on the sand on the beach side is free from what I can remember........trashing the beach will result in a ticket.

 

I'll meet you guys @ Robstown.

 

Dress rehearsal for this weekend

 

NICE! i neither got my CB installe don time or rod holders and probably wont have the time to do it either

 

Nice set up! If only I still had my fishing rods...all of my reels rusted to $hit from never cleaning them. :/



SO just to get a "head count," who will be riding out Saturday morning? (for you guys and gals North of Corpus)

 

So I've got a set of brand new TC UCAs for sale that I can bring to the meet with me if anyone is interested. PM me.

 

I will too. Whew, so much coordination. I'm going to have to write down who I'm meeting where and when from Austin to SPI.

 

I posted the $9 fee because I thought the plan was to enter at acces 5 or 6 and drive out from there. Fish, BBQ , camp on the beach where we drive the trucks.

Any other campsite will not allow vehicles on the beach.

 

Hey I forgot your from Austin. I'll be in Marble Falls Friday night. What time you rolling out of Austin, maybe we can do a convoy?

 

Ok gang, Daphne and I are coming down Friday night, staying at the KOA campground in SPI. We're planning on bringing my generator (just in case), a cooler full of beverages and some kind of side (mac or tater salad). Do we need to bring anything else? And where are we meeting at SPI and when? Sorry if I am being redundant, been on the road for the last week and have lost track of the plan.

Yep, the plan is to drive into access 5 and cruise the beach up towards access 6, after that we'll look for a space big enough to park (On the beach, just so there isn't any more confusion. )

We will all be meeting up at the Walmart parking lot in Port Isabel. Rougly between 1-2pm. You can't miss it, since you have to drive by it before you get to the bridge.

So for those of you that will already be at the island, if you would like to drive back to the Port Isabel side to meet up with us, that would be awesome. If not, then I'm sure you'll eventually see us coming up the beach. BUT, you'll want to be part of the "convoy", trust me!

 

anyone bringing tents or some sort of shade?

 

I am rolling down Saturday morning meeting ya'll in San Antonio I think the place was Academy (I forgot what street tho)?

I'm sure it wont be hard to spot a whole bunch of Taco's in the parking lot but I wanted to leave my number here since we are some of the first ones to start the convoy. Hit me up (360) 259-2932

 

Ok cool. Yep the Academy location is at the intersection of Potranco Road and Loop 1604 in SA. Plan to arrive there by 7am, and roll out no later than 7:30 am.
