Trying to gauge some interest.  This would be a camping (tent style) trip.  Since it starts on Friday I probably wouldn't leave until Friday morning, set up camp and leave Sunday Morning. 

$50.00 registration.  You can check out the events and see if this interest you http://www.harvestclassic.org/

I remember the last I went Gumbo was with me and it got down to 30 degrees that night.  I'm glad I had some ear plugs cause damn there was loud snorers.

Well I was gonna take a about 7-8 days off from work so I might already be camping in my RV near Canyon Lake.  I thought I would take off from there, leave RV and pack my tent stuff and leave early Friday morning.  I would then come back to my RV to rest up the remainder of my days off.

What ever works for you, I can take as much time off as I want :t  So many options for camping before the event, pumped already.
I will be there for registration bright and early ;)

If you're going to be that close, you'd better check in with Lucky and set up a get together.

Lucky says the only problem with camping is the ground is soooo far down and hard.

I'm looking into these packable cots that keep you off the ground. Coupled with a good sleeping bag it shouldn't be too bad.

you can get to Leander from Luckenbach easier than from Katy on Sunday morning.  BTW Gumbo had a medical procedure on Monday so he called to say he's out as well. 

I'm still going.

Home safe and sound, bike unloaded and put away at 6pm. Had a great time. Lots of cool old bikes. Ariels, Nortons, Triumps along with alot of Japanese bikes and scooters. Not the typical Biker rally but what I call a motorcyclists rally. Great event. Want to go again.

Deb and I must be tourist. After everyone needed to leave on Saturday due to the weather concerns. Deb and I went back to KOA and dropped the bikes and grabbed the dogs and drove down in the truck to Fredericksberg for something to eat. Once we got downtown, something happened that I had not ever experienced before. We own a Hairless Chinese Crescent which if you our not familiar with the breed is pretty damn ugly and unique dog. We walked around for about an hour and at least 50 people came up to check the dog out. And the majority were pretty damn drunk  at four in the afternoon.  It was obvious that most had just finished a day at the wineries. I have always had some concerns but never had that much interaction with people on the streets until then. To all when you're in the area keep in mind a lot of people behind the wheel have been tasting most of the day.
