US Southwest Recurring - North Central Texas Meet & Greet

[roots66]

Meet up is this Sat, May 1. Unless there is

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.

I would, but don't have a kayak. Also, for the next several weeks, I can't spend an entire day away, let alone several, until the chicks/ducklings are grown enough to take care of themselves.

Saw something about Sat 1 May. Drove out to the bridge in case the day or the date was incorrect since 1 May is Sunday.

Cool location.

So, did I miss the day or the date?

No, you did not miss anything. The start/stop dates on the Rally Point have never worked right. Just remember it's always the 1st Saturday of each month and you will be good.
That said, we will be meeting at the bridge location on May 7 @ 0900.

Will anyone be up on GMRS Ch1?

Have a new MXT275 and would like to test the range as I’m inbound.

 

[SeekingSolace]

We can be, we have handhelds might not be able to transmit far tho. Haven't used ours yet either.

 

[roots66]

I'll have mine on as well. It's also handheld, so we'll see how well it reaches.

 

[CubbyXL7]

Actually have the mobile and handhelds to try, so let’s give it a shot.

Ch 1 work?

Good time today at the rally point. Looking forward to the July meet as I will in business travel in June.

Recommend we pick one rally in the future to do some or all of the Hill Country Back country route - as long as there is at least one water crossing.

 

[roots66]

Good to meet everyone today. We will certainly do a Hill country route in the near future.

 

[Rav4_Overland]

Great turnout today! It was awesome meeting everyone, hearing stories and learning new things. Hope to see yall again next time

2WD Rigs

Doing it in two wheeled drive!

Also:

Ford Maverick and the small overlanding pickup truck

So the inevitable question: what are some thoughts on new small pickups coming back to the US/NA market? I feel like it would be a great weekend overlanding rig. Haven’t seen anything about departure, approach, or break over angles. I do know it’s being offered with Ford’s FX4 off road package...

Great meeting everyone yesterday, I learned a lot and got some great ideas for future mods. I'm looking forward to the next meetup!
