That's right. Planning on arriving Friday late afternoon. Figured we could hit some trails on Saturday. Head home Sunday

Count me in, I love Big Bend. Do you want to meet up somewhere and caravan all the way down? I live in Round Rock.

That would be awesome. I'm in Pflugerville. Are you planning to be at the next meetup?

 

[TxRedRunner]

Yes sir, looking forward to meeting everyone, as this will be my first meetup.

I am in Austin but at the bar watching some football before a work trip. I’ll be back in town on the 22nd.

Sounds good. I'll follow up with a post later today with the travel details in case you want to caravan with us.

That's the one!
I was on the fence between Gaia and OnX Off-road. I went with OnX in the end. It's got a number of trails mapped already.

 

[NorCalRam]

This is what I found from Gaia. Looks like it has most everything you got as well.
Few last minute questions.
What the fuel situation? I have 2 5 gallon tanks I would be willing to leave at home.
Are we doing comms? I have both Ham and GMRS. Any other things I may be missing since I didn’t get a chance to connect with you all?

 

[DosTacos]

for fuel, I typically fill up in Alpine and also carry a 5gal tank. We can also fill up in Terlingua if needed. I'm happy to offer the 5gal to anyone who needs it.
For comms, Joe has a couple handheld motorola radios but I don't know what technology they use. I believe it's GMRS.
Food is the only other thing I think we discussed. We'll plan to stop at Porters Grocery in Alpine to stock up.

 

[NorCalRam]

Sounds like a plan!

Hey guys, did we ever get any videos up? I didn’t take hardly any footage. Need to remember the gopro and drone next time.

I think @Joelinq77 said he would be working on it.
