Alright October 19-20 it is.  We'll make another thread on meetup times and places to scope out.  We should probably in that thread make a list of at least 3 potential places that could host us. 

Good plan 

Ok this sets the stage, offer up any ideas you might have,  consensus wins.
This is our outing now is your chance to input your ideas.

As far as other places to go - if we are all on our own?  What about State Parks?  Inks Lake is a great place, lots of spots and if we kinda work together tent camper could share a space with an RV camper.  Water and Electric sites right on the water front.  i know there is an entrance fee and site fee but they offer clean showers and restrooms and keep the parks nice as well.

There my .02,

Great suggestion http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/inks-lake/fees-facilities/group-facilities fees are very reasonable.
Thanks your your .02 This is also a possibility.

sounds good! any place but Fredricksberg. It was good while it lasted but I'm ready for someplace new. There's also a number of Bed and Breakfast places in Bandera just FYI.

I like the State Park idea from Drewboy.  At this moment Oct 19-20 looks open for Wayne and I we will mark it down.

Great news, we have two places to explore, one more would be great

[xcaliber]

don't forget that we will have folks that don't camp or RV so wherever we pick need to have access to cabins and or Hotels

Maybe not ready for this distance to a new site yet for the spring rally yet, but this is a place I have camped at before, as late as this spring even, so it is still current. Look at the pics, and the accomodations available. If not the spring rally, I know a smaller get together is in order pretty soon. Even has canoeing. Price is good also.

Have been there before and is a really nice State Park.

[Gumbo]

This would be a great spring gathering location
I love Arkansas roads.

  I like this idea!

I like the thought of trying new places out but with all Texas has to offer isn't there other spots here in the Lone Star state? With being here since 06 there is so much of the state Ive yet to see. Is there places in the middle of the state besides Fredericksburg with great riding that folks would like to try out? Centrally located to all the major cities? Maybe get a list of 3-5 places talk about it and put it to a vote? Snakes idea is a good one for sure.
