New Texas Meet Thread

I would like to help organize a meet. From reading the other thread I vote for a meet in the Austin area. Does not have to be in Austin just using that as a refrence for that part of the state.

I would be down for just about anything. There are alot of scenic places in the hill country and I am sure we can find a nice place to have a cookout and or campout.
I want to also see about interest in a trip to tube the Guadalupe River.
I am throwing a weekend out and say August 2nd and and 3rd. This would allow enough time to set everything up and for people to adjust schedules.

Please chime in and let me know what you think.

****EDIT****
I was talking to the wife and I have a wedding to attend that Saturday and its out of town. I think I would be able to make it for a meet August 9th and 10th. There are several state parks we could camp at in the Austin area. We could meet for lunch at Louie Mueller BBQ in Taylor, TX and then go from there to a park. Would anyone want to float the river?
For everyone in the Dallas area we could meet somewhere in the southern part of the metroplex and get a caravan together.

 

If I have a Tacoma by then, I'd be interested.

 

I'll be in Austin this month for the Texas Heat Wave Show because I'm on vacation,but for Aug. I would have to see my work schedule.It would be nice to meet some people from TW in person.

 

I am planning on being in Austin for the Heat Wave as well but I might have to work. I should find out next week.

I just had a new idea. We could all meet in Shiner and take a a tour of the Spotzel Brewery. I have been wanting to go for a while and we could drink beer during the tour.

 

What date do you have in mind?

 

Sounds like about August 2/3. Sometime before school starts, at least.

 

Count me out for August 2-3, I'll be in Angelfire, NM.

 

If we meet the 2nd and 3rd im down to go. Just needs to be before school starts.

Now we just need to find out what we want to do. Im feeling the BBQ atmosphere.

 

Anything taht involves roasting dead animals over fire sounds great.

 

I would like Shiner but my motorcycle group meets here a couple of times a year as it is just plain good.
Though its too close to me for camping I could drive over for a lunch ?

Here is a more exact plan of action.
We could meet in Taylor at Louie Mueller BBQ at noon on Saturday the 9th for lunch and then head just west of Austin to Pedernales Falls State Park and camp for the evening. I have never been to the park but it looks pretty cool.
Or we could all meet at the park on Friday evening the 8th and camp for 2 nights.
We could all bring something for dinner and grill up some grub.

For the DFW guys I was thinking we could meet at a gas station on 1187 and 35W and get a caravan together.
Please let me know if this is something everyone wants to do and I can make reservations at the park to make sure we have enough spots to camp.

 

Hell, anyone want to go to the Salt Lick, while we're west of Austin?
Also is this more of day thing, right?

 

I would attend a meet in Taylor

 

too many furry wood rats with horns running around at night .
Makes for slower going

 

For those that may want to test the waters so to speak I will be at
Louie Mueller BBQ
206 West 2 nd Street
Taylor, Texas

12 July around 11 am on a motorcycle as a group meetsthere in monring .
I will be on a black Honda ST1300 (my other toy) unless the wife and kiddos want to go with then I will be in the truck.
You are all welcome to come taste the food with us .
Its just plain good food .

 

So far no one has commited to coming. I still want to try and get something put together so if anyone has any other ideas that would be great.

 

9th and 10th sound good in central as I have to leave out of town on Sunday night that weekend

 

9th and 10th I'm not quite sure of my work schedule yet.

 

I can pretty much be flexible as long as I have a week or two in advance to plan. Is there anything solid on a meeting place yet? Kerville does sound enticing as I have never been in that area but I have heard good things about it.

 

I could definately meet for lunch in Taylor, i live 5 mile sfrom that place. Have to work the rest of the weekend, work night shift. If you need any help, let me know
