US Southwest Recurring - North Central Texas Meet & Greet

[roots66]

@Roots66 did you check out the other bridge location on Saturday?

Yes, I did. It was quiet, open and easy to get to. However, I didn't see much in the way of shade.

That shade will be vital shortly

So...
Some of us are meeting around 10am at the bridge location if anyone wants to join

So, this location was pretty cool. Certainly not away from it all, but also not just a parking lot. If anyone wants to visit it again (or the first time), I think it might be not be a bad idea to bring along some trash bags and do a little clean up project as well. Let me know what y'all think.

I agree about trash cleanup!

Is this where we met with you guys?

Actually, the meetup is supposed to be at Old Settler's Park in Round Rock. However, it has started to get way too crowded as of late, so we've been meeting at various other places to see what options there are. Mostly, it's been at other, smaller parks around Lake Georgetown because they are easy to get to and have facilities. However, they are still just parking lots which can have other people show up and make space an issue if a lot of us show up. The bridge mentioned is clearly not going to have the same level of visitors since you're sitting, well, under a bridge. It's also cool that it's not in anyway a maintained road. So, for a monthly meet, it's slightly off-roady.

You can go to Google Maps here (30.610149421050387, -97.81840583880815) and take a look.

Missed the last couple of meetings - apparently due to change of location. Is this the place to check to ensure we know where to go? Or can the Rally Point post be updated if there is a change?

Yes, this is the place. We're currently in flux due to checking out new locations. The rally point hasn't changed since nothing permanent has been chosen yet. Keep an eye on this thread to make sure you get the most current info. So far, the next meeting is set for the bridge location off Ronald Reagan. (see above)

Will do. Thx.

 

[roots66]

OK, edited both the start of this thread as well as the Rally Point to say the location may change and to check here for details.

Would anyone in the group be interested in a multi day kayaking trip down the Colorado River? I'm putting together a trip in late May and wanted to gauge interest.
