responded to that one. was asking about march, not february.

I think they were talking about the feb 27th as well but its was xoc not tnt, ask scott

i've heard about both feb and march runs.

Im game for both

Keith was putting together a run for February 28 to test his home mods.

MARCH 27th we are planning on hitting Barnwell with the guys from Mehico. This is not set in stone as of yet, but it is looking promising.

s

nothing sure by now...

I´ll let you know guys...

I'm planning on going that last weekend of March, whether the Hermanos from Mehico can go or no.

Couple of other people over on TNT expressed interest in that weekend.

It's been too long. I'd like to go, but won't know if I can until closer to time. That's in between Chia's bachelor party and wedding, so we'll see.

Ok, it's a date. We will plan on a run to Barnwell on March 27.

Hopefully Abiel et al can come to.

Cool count me in, can't wait to see you all again.

wife has half day vacation to take, so pushing her for barnwell. (plan on taking two day vacation). been to long....

amanda and I + the "boys"(dogs) are 90% sure we will be there!

GOOD TIMES, GOOD TIMES!

Sorry guys, I can´t make it by the time.

Guys here either, we are having a lot of 4WD activities: something called "the route of volcanoes" , wheeling 4 days in central México, competitions in several cities, a jeep meeting in Cancun by the time of GONEMoab, etc, etc.

In fact, this june 12 & 13 we´ll have the 3th stage of a 4x4 competition in Laredo, Texas

regards,

i know i started the thread, but can't make it. with buying the house, i really don't think i'll do anything this year except for a tubing adventure. gonna drink a beer and cry now....

Still planning on being there.

I would be interested in barnwell but i cannot figure out where it is from austin. can anyone help.

where is it from the austin area.

It is in Gilmer, Texas.... over by Tyler.
Here\'s their page

Just do a Yahoo Maps driving directions thing to figure out time / route.

It takes me 2.5 hours from NE Dallas - so it is a hike from Austin - but it's a ton of fun and worth the trip.

Is this a weekend trip or a saterday or sunday? It sounds like a blast.

It always ends up being a weekend trip. Those from Austin, SA, Houston and further out usually come up Friday and camp until Sunday morning. DFW-ites usually go up Friday night or early Saturday morning; some camp, some don't. There are always people camping on Saturday though.

Oh, normally (just about always) SOMEONE comes up from Austin, so you have the possibility of caravaning with others for your haul.

Once you are there, you won't wanna come home on the same day. Tons of fun. You'll want to spend the night.

im still going, we can follow. as for the drive its about 5 hrs from austin, and as Jason said you'll want to camp and stay the next day.

Excellent post.

I agree. Way to contribute, Shiner!

Looks like another Barnwell trip I'm going to miss.

It turns out we don't have a soccer game this weekend, since it is the Spring Webelos campout, and I got the games scheduled around it. This time however William doesn't want to go since no one else in his den is going (they've all meet their camping requirements for Arrow of Light), and he has his first Boy Scout campout in 3 or 4 weeks (Mid April), so we're all going to load up into the Odessy and take a long day trip to Rusk (a little south of Barnwell), and take a Steam Engine Train ride - The Texas State Railroad, one of the Texas State Park facilities. The best times for the trip are supposed to be in the Spring when the dogwoods are blooming, which is right now. Since we probably won't have another opportunity this Spring we're going to jump on it now.

Y'all have fun.

Who is going to be at Barnwell, and what day you getting there? We have a first timer coming from Oooooooooklahoma, and he needs someone to meet up with in Gilmer. He will be arriving Friday night, so Jason, would you be willing to be our good will ambassador?

If so, what time Friday night and/or Saturday morning would you be willing to meet him at the front gate of Barnwell?

Whoever can meet him, please let me know ASAP

thx,
s

I'd be willing to meet up with him, just need to know where and when. I would give him my cell number, but I never get reception out there. Does he have a CB or FRS? If he can make it out there, I can meet with him at the main office.

Email me your phone number anyhow, and I will pass it along. What time can you meet him on both Firday night and Sat morning? (JIC he does not make it Friday night.)

depending on when us austin folk get out of austin I'll help if I can.

You know my phone number, you've called me in the past. I have no idea what time we will get there Friday night. I plan to leave town by 5 at the latest on Friday, but you know how that goes.

Yeah, I got your number. Smacked myself after I posted.

I am going to bring fajita stuff, who has a grill?

We can cook on the X's engine... a million uses and counting!

What's this we crap, Kraig? You aren't going, are ya?

I've got a Coleman combo grill/burner. One burner and then a small grill off to the side. Not as good as goofies or 2001frontier's, but all I got.

I have it "penciled" in... you know how it goes... I'm sure I'll puss out at the last minute...

Bring it if ya can; I'll bring mine too. Heck Z and I may just stay the night this time.

As far as food, I am gonna bring all that stuff I listed for fajitas, feel free to add to it if ya wanna.

I'm super depressed that I won't be able to bring the motorcycle and ride it some... I've been working my ass off trying to get it ready - but it looks like the CDI module is flaky & it's probably going to take me weeks of ebay-ing to find another one

Scott, you and Zach need to spend the night.

Looks like I won't be leaving Big D until 6 at the earliest. Misty has to drop off the kids before we can head out, but we'll be there ASAP.
