Now you are talking! If you are serious, I just might have to take you up on this offer. When are you leaving?

 

I don't have a maroon truck, but my 1996 F250 crew cab is white with A&M plates. 240k miles and running strong. Hopefully it will last at least until my 15 year old daughter learns to drive...

 

I'm ready to leave now........

 

When can you be ready???????

 

We can have a room ready for ya the night before and the head out in the mornin. :thumbsup:

 

 

It would be great if we could get started early Thursday mornin.

I am ready to leave, I have all my stuff loaded in the truck and should be in San Antonio in about 2 and a half hours.

 

Ok, maybe that was a slight exaggeration.

Let me check with the powers that be. Only thing that could be an issue is if my family already has something planned that weekend to celebrate my reaching the half century mark.

I'll try my best to be there. It is quite a distance, and you never know what the weather might be in December. But count me in for now, and save me a bit of floor space in Whip's RV for me and my air mattress, just in case. Wow, Roosevelt Lake. I hope I can get there before dark.

 

And by the way, Tommy, how much is a refill?

Dang it. I'm out. My Friday shift cover just fell through due to a knee injury/surgery. I might not even get to go to the training at all if another guy doesn't get cleared to return to work by the 1st (back injury). :(

 

Hey Phil, I'm really sorry for all the crap I gave you previously. You're right, this sucks MAJOR a$$. My MLK/DVD is looking sketchy right now as well. :/

I have finally surfaced.

 

I've looked at this from every angle, and as much as I want to be there with my new toy, I just can't pull this one off.

 

You'll just have to have fun watching someone else fall down in the dirt.

Here is a few from my trip on Friday. Tom will chime in with today's results as well. I was unable to look at Frazier in detail because there were a hundred or so folks there having a pot-luck. The first one is of the entrance to Frazier.

The second one is of the restrooms and I think possibly a water source:

417665988_8dBqG-L.jpg

The third one is of the parking/tent area and the ramada at the far side:

417665916_mjGBw-L.jpg

This one is of the entrance to Grapevine. It is on a hill above the lake rather than on the lake like Frazier:

417663422_gUfcz-L.jpg

This next one is of one of the campsites, they have many campsites located on several loops:

417664164_bepbx-L.jpg

This last one is of the fire pit and ramadas at the group site at Grapevine:

417664198_rDEd8-L.jpg

I'll leave it to Tom to add some up-close pics of Frazier that I couldn't get.

I will be trailering up my KLX and plan to arrive mid morning on Friday. I'll bring enough firewood for two nights of fire-pit fires I will also be bringing my large stand-up tent and will have space for a couple more folks if anyone needs a place to put their sleeping bag.

 

WRT food, are there any resturants close by? I didn't notice any but did not ride north of the visitor center. If no resturants close by, does this mean BBQ on the grills? Not a problem, just need to plan for it.

That is one awesome fire pit!

 

Little small by Texas(Aggie) standards. Ours is about 10' diameter brick circle with a notch out of the bricks to wheel your wheel barrow in.

 

I liked the one pictured here, with the built in seats. Only problem would be the concrete would get hard and cold and the drunks would fall off when they took a late night siesta.

Also, sometimes you have to move your chairs back, like when the centerpole falls.

Wait a minute, you mean Limecreek has learned to slow down? Did this break through happen after he got back from Silver City?

I think Mr. McKinley picked his up the week before. I guess he figured that was the best way to improve the suspension on the Adventure.

This isn't a dry county is it???

 

Did I leave out the part about the bar in the RV?????

 

:grin:

 

...bring that little silver challis.....I'll fill it.

 

 

Well, this is definitely not a dry state. There is plenty of booze to go around in this part of the woods. I will come up for a day ride and see if that GSA is worth a darn in the dirt. And the Mrs. may come too as the shower would be a big plus. Hairdryer, make up and salon available in that RV? The wine may be a draw to her as well..... :grin: So count me in as it will be my last ride in the U.S. for over a month!!!! :clap:
