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

I'd like for us to try parking in either a huge circle or square, with the trucks facing outward and the tailgates towards the center.

Last year's 60+ truck line looked awesome but it didn't feel very tight knit as in the past years when there was less and we parked closer together. After we enter the beach and find a spot we can line up for a picture and then set up our giant truck circle/square with all the canopies in the center, but still behind your truck of course.


I've drawn out a diagram. Now please be kind, I was up ALL NIGHT *sarcasm* trying to figure out the best possible plan for parking.





What do you guys think? : P It might be a bit of a cluster f*** at first trying to put it all together but I think it'll work out better in the end.

 

I think that would be a good idea last year was more everyone kept to themselves unlike other years

 

NP don't sweat it

 

I wonder how many are actually staying on the beach overnight?

 

I like the diagram, and like the idea of forming a square I just hope we have the room to do this depending on the amount of people

 

With it being memorial day weekend traffic getting on the island is going to be insane! I've been years past where the line for the causeway is miles back behind the Port Isabel Highschool.
Probably going to have to drive a ways to find enough room for everyone.

 

Just talked to my dad and he said there are cones all the way back as far as Laguna Vista in preparation for the traffic they are expecting.

 

We all just need to make sure we have a full tank.

 

Ditto!

 

Cooool!


I think my mom, sister, her hubby and their kiddos might be coming too.

 

I think we should. There are plenty of spots where there is a lot of room between the packed sand and the dunes.

I think we'll be good if we stick to 2wds on/near the packed sand and the 4wds on the loose sand when we park.

 

It was pretty much the same way last summer when we had the meet.

We must've been in bumper to bumper traffic for at least half an hour before we even got to the Port Isabel Wal-Mart.

 

Eyup, the cones were in place as well last year during the meet and it was in late July.

 

Indeed!

 

Bring chairs

 

We shall!

 

ok, we're packed up, pulling out at 6 am to head to Corpus. We only have 8 subscribers on ZELLO that'll at least keep a few of us together. You guys that will be in Corpus on Friday be sure to hit me up.

 

Drive safe! We are heading out early afternoon tomorrow. Ill be finishing the packing tonight and tomorrow morning

 

Oh its getting serious now, momma made me go buy her a camp toilet. Man oh Man, found one at Academy.

 

Riz where you guys staying?
