Started over last night, kept running into standing water,  Huntsville is still fairly dry, so am calling this a wash.

She did not ask me for a deposit, just an assurance that I was not trailering with a truck as she had no more room for anything but could probably squeeze in a solo bike camper in a pup tent.  She said they operate on the honor system.  I tried to call her back on Tuesday to cancel but I got a recording saying the phone lines were down and not to leave a message, so I didn't. 

I saw where Kerrville city park is a cheap place to camp but I have not been there to see what it is like.  It might be a good base camp for hill country run.  Too far from Lukenbach for Harvest C I think.

you could've just camped at the rally for the price of admission.  I was bringing my travel trailer.  I wonder how the rally is going today?

I've camped at the rally numerous times.  Last time I went,  there were some obnoxious people in the campground that ruined it for me and a lot of others.  At that point I decided I'd had enough of that rally (after going for many years).  This year I thought I would be smart and try the Armadillo.  I have staid at a hotel in town but it is lacking the character of the camp.

Armadillo is definitely the way to go.  Quiet rule is enforced and owner will kick out the rowdies if the aren't  cooperative. Last time I camped at the rally I was awake half Friday night by rowdies.  Porta Potties were overflowing by Sat, stayed for the bike drawing then rode to New Braunfels to stay at my niece's.  Won't camp at rally again.

Hey guys...just a wild idea...but how about a meet up the 2nd weekend of November in the same location, or closer perhaps Austin for a weekend of riding loops and a mini rally.  Leave Friday morning/afternoon to destination, ride all day Saturday, maybe part of Sunday and then head back...

I know the 2nd weekend of November is Swamp Scooters and some have committed to that already, but anyone else who may not be going to old King Louis state if interested, let me know.

Cheers!

Hoping this year is not a frog strangler, and we can make it out again for a nice weekend of Hill Country riding!  Last year's flooding deterred most of us from heading out there...

Headed out to camp at Garner State Park and Lost Maples this coming weekend for a few days of riding...hoping a month from now can be sitting in Luckenbach for a little fun as well.

Perhaps some of the other folks who were interested in going last year may be able to attend this year.

May ride into Luckenbach Saturday of the rally.  Can't miss Swamp Scooters.  Would jeopardize my standing as an honorary coonass.

The Mrs and I are planning to take the toy hauler and head to San Antonio and Port Aransas in late Oct.  Who knows if our plans will come true but it's worth considering again.  I'd forgotten about the FC.

Last year I made reservations at the designated RV park and then when when flooding was forecast, I tried to transfer to another date but they wouldn't do it and kept my deposit.  I'd like to go but I won't deal with that outfit.
