LSLC Round UP

[DSLTOY]

The registration is open for the Round Up at Lone Star Land Cruisers - home The dates are March 19-22, 2009. This is one of the
premier TLCA events, the wheeling is awesome and the Texas guys know how to put on a party ( free shinner). So far Todd S. , Clutchee, Carl and I are going. We will probably leave on the 17 th or 18 th and caravan across Hwy 20.

Roger,
My questions may be pretty wimpy and odd. The BJ cruises well down the interstate up to the low 70s. Would that be compatible with the caravan speeds that you would be holding? Do you make the trip in one day or do you stop at a hotel along the way? Since my tires and supplies are strapped down on my trailer, I don't have a means to actually secure it from theft on an over-night stop. Also, are there any cabins for rent near by? As you know, I normally rent a cabin; I don't even have a tent.

Your post about Cruise Moab is very interesting too. Both are very tempting. How well would a 'wimpy' driver in a stock truck fit on the trails in Texas or at Moab?

Since GSMTR is in June this year, Melissa will get her TLCA event as usual without missing a week of school. Carolyn really likes this change so Melissa is groundruled out from any potential for attending these events would cause a school absence. Consequently, the potential logistics for either of these events would be minus Sport. This opens some options for me, but at a cost.

Thanks

We normally run about 70 with the big truck. We normally drive as far as Brownwood the first day, camp in the Walmart parking lot. Coming back we normally drive straight through, about 14 hrs. if you manage your stops. I have heard there are cabins, have not looked at them, you would have to contact the Kruse's ( people that run the park) to get info. Both places have trails for stock trucks.

From my place it is about the same distance if I go down and take I-20 or go up and take I-40, so I will choose my route depending on who wants to caravan.

Roger,
Thanks. I am discussing the possibilities with Carolyn (i.e., negotiating from a weak position)

I'm registered! Vacation is booked.

Now to finish my junk...

 

[werd]

I registered last week.

I am still trying to figure out my trip plans. I might go via I-10 and visit some old friends along the way. If not, I might catch up with you guys on I-20 if you decide to take that route.

I found a trailer!

I am registered. If some of the Memphis folks want to caravan Todd and I will go I-40 to I -30 to I-20, if they don't we can go down to Bham on 59 and take I-20.

 

[BillRiley]

Has anyone decided what day they are leaving? Roger, are y'all still planning on a two day trip down there?

 

[DSLTOY]

Todd and I have not finalized the plan yet, but will probably drive straight through. would be great to caravan with you all, just remember we only stop at Truch Stops.

just an FYI...

The Last Roundup KATEMCY ROCKS CLOSES
All good things must come to an end. So it goes with Katemcy Rocks. We learned last week
that we are losing our lease effective June 30, 2009. The trust department that has handled
Jack Hays estate notified us that the property was not going to be leased to us again. The son
who inherited the property has decided he wishes to use the property exclusively for his
family, as is his right. They may eventually build a home on the property.
All the scheduled events we have listed before July will be held as planned. Events scheduled
after July will be moved up if time and logistics work out. We will be posting them up on our
website as things come together.
We are actively working on other possible land opportunities, but these are distant chances.
Consequently, if you want to wheel at Katemcy before its closed, you need to do so on or
before June 13-14, 2009. We currently have four more events scheduled before the end:
1. March 19-22Lone Star Landcruiser's Round up (closed event)
2. April 24-26 Lone Star Early Bronco's Roundup (closed event)
3. May 2-3 Baertrax's & Trail Duty's Customer Appreciation runs (open event)
4. May 23-25 Memorial Day Weekend Blowout (our last one - open event)
5. June 13-14 Texas 4x4.org's “Summer Run V” (open event)
If there is enough interest, we may cancel our Moab Easter Jeep Safari trip and schedule one
more open event on April 4-5. As it stands, Texas 4x4.org's “Summer Run V” will be our
last event at Katemcy Rocks.
It has been an honor and privilege to wheel this property for 8 years. We have meet so many
friends through the years and hope to see all of you back here at the Rocks before we close.
Happy Trails,
Randy, Shain, Pam, Casey, Jessica, Juanita, Jerry and Elaine

I'll have to head out Wednesday then. I'd be asleep at the wheel before Texarkana.

This was a fantastic event, great people great wheeling.

I had a good time seeing everyone! I guess this was my first and last Katemcy experience. Maybe they will work things out. The Round Up is one of the better events I have attended.
