Padre Trip (1 Viewer)

[Bear80]

Let's get a Padre Island trip setup! I'm thinking around the begining of April, three days, two nights, all the way to the end. How is everyone's availability?

I am defanitly down for this. I need to buy some gas cans.=]

this will be an awsome trip! there is nothing like camping on the beach.

 

[Bear80]

I know there is a Galveston TTORA trip in March and the Houston beach clean up in April but I really want to have a sizeable multi organization run down Padre.

ill go as long you dont leave us all behind high and dry just because your have an aux. tank now

 

[Bear80]

Well it still an't done yet, but looks like this weekend it should be. For those of you less fortunate, Wal-Mart sells cheap 5 gallon cans.

I've been up and down that island and have never run out of gas. You must top-off at the last station and you should be OK. Of course, extra gas cans are nice to have.

 

[BrettinSanAntonio]

Oh, count me in for the trip. I feel the need to shed winter and feel the coming summer. I can't think of a better place to do it.

 

[Bear80]

Let's look at that first weekend of April 4-6. What do you guys think? We leave Friday morning, head down big shell and camp that night. Reach the end Saturday, turn back a ways and make camp. Then we won't have far to go to get off the beach Sunday.

 

[BrettinSanAntonio]

Sounds good. Let's make it offical.

 

[rrdogma]

I'm in but will have to meet y'all down there. I have class on that Friday. I get out by 2:30 but will need to go home and pick up my little trailer and dogs. I don't think either would survive the parking lot at school.

I'm in! Kelly and I can be there Friday evening.

 

[Bear80]

Well sounds like a plan. Brett, since you are our LSLC liaison would you invite them. I'll go ahead and post over in TTORA.

 

[BrettinSanAntonio]

Will do. I'm jazzed about this trip! It's been a year since I've driven to the end of the island.

 

[cool breeze]

are you guys talking about jummping off at corpus? did years ago in a 72 chevy. this sounds nice. you have to be street legal-correct? jim

 

[Bear80]

Yep you take the highway through Corpus all the way down the Island till you hit the National Park. The rules of the park do require street legal vehicles, though I've never seen them check nor ask. It's primarily to keep ATV's and dune buggies out. Though if you do get caught with an trial truck you could be toast.

So who is thinking about camping down island and who is getting a hotel?

Hotel??!

 

[Bear80]

You are kidding right??!! I'm thinking each night we will be at a different location to make camp, not to mention that would a long drive up to a hotel.

I'm in! Kelly and I can be there Friday evening.
