Setting up a Houston Meet

Doubt it if any actually show up due to the length of the drive for the not so great beaches here lol. Considering it's also the first weekend of Mardi Gras, many local folks will be plastered down in Galveston.

Have to time it just right to make it through Galveston between the parades on the Seawall. Looking at perhaps a 2 hr open gap to squeeze through without having to take the side streets to bypass it. It's gonna be hella busy getting to the island and then through it.

 

That's why 288 is the backup route. Plus how fast you can get there going 288

 

Yep yep

 

Do it all the time, about an hour, hour half going 67 (cops will be out so I advise going no faster)

My 4runner can go only 60ish so Ill be fine haha.

 

So for what i gather this will hapend the 2nd of Feb, and we will meet at Hooters in Nasa road?????

 

Correct

 

I'm pretty excited guys. Looking forward to it.

 

Now let's just hope the weather works in our favor that day!

 

Right!! Been nice out this week! Maybe we should of done it this week! But I am back in for sure

 

Several people are going to alto this weekend.

 

what day is it on

 

The beach thing? Saturday Feb 2nd

 

ok thanks

ill be fishing

 

With or without us?

 

Stoked about this weekend haven't been wheeling in a while

 

why with yall
i wont do big set up untill ya'll get there

 

is there a firm time that yall will arrive
at the beach

 

I think they will make it down there around 4-5


I'm just gonna go straight there. Would be too much of a drive to meet in Webster than drive through Galveston.

 

Have we decided which route to take? Personally, I'm not a fan of traffic...at all. Getting on the island, and 61st will probably be horrible anytime after 10am. Does the 288 route include 45 South to 2004 toward Lake Jackson, then 288? I've never driven down that way, and always like new roads. Don't want to sound like a party pooper, because I'm still in. However, my vote is for the back roads that may be slower speeds, but better things to "see" (more than stopped cars...) on the drive. Is this the 288 route everyone is talking about?

The route we take (45-XXXX-288 vs 45-seawall/SLP) will change this answer quite a bit. Need another poll on route! ...just kidding

Estimate (correct me if wrong):
45-XXXX-288: 1hr15min-1hr30min, arriving 3:00-3:30
45-seawall/SLP: 2hrs-2hrs30min with traffic? arriving 4-4:30
