Anybody in Texas Hill Country going to be around for the April 8th, 2024 Solar Eclipse? Anybody have room for some Overland Bound Members from California? Someplace where we could set up a small group camp? Look at the linked map and let us know if you're open to this and where you are located... The closer to the centerline the better.

I'll be around, but don't have any property to offer. Would love to setup a meet for OB members traveling to town.

We will be travelling to Kerrville, TX to see the eclipse (saw the last one there too). There are some locations there as well as nearby in Fredericksburg for group camping. Best bet for a larger group is probably Oxford Ranch Campground in Llano.

That ought to be right smack in the middle of the wildflower bloom. That's going to be a great trip.
Unfortunately, that's my wife's birthday weekend and we'll be in Vegas. Hope y'all have a great time. I'll try to make the next one.
