North Texas meet & 4x4, anyone?

[TexVeX]

Ft. Worth is even farther for me I will have to think about it. If I had my way I'd rather it be closer than Dallas but I realize the majority would be coming from there so I understand.

[tomdietrying]

O.K. I haven't heard from anyone on the Ft. Worth side, but I've heard from three Dallas VXers.

So because the interest is on the Dallas side, let's move it to the Dallas side of the Metroplex.

The day and the time will be the same. It will be Saturday, June 23rd at 1:00 p.m. Where would you like to meet? I'm game for where ever.......so the first person to throw something out there is where we will have it. Just pick a place where we can park together, so a big parking lot is NOT a must, but it could be nice.

Peace.

We looking for a restaraunt?
Plano or Richardson along 75 seem's like the most convenient for TexVex.
How about Hooters or Joe's Crab Shack in Plano? Or Bonedaddys in Richardson? Or make a suggestion.

[tomdietrying]

O.K. Let's do Joe's Crab Shack in Plano on June 23rd at 1:00 p.m.

Here's the address:
Joe's Crab Shack
3320 N Central Expy
Plano, TX 75074
(972) 423-2800

Peace.

Hey I'm in!!!

Would also like to do some 4 wheelin...

Mike

[smorris65]

I'll be there. Where can we 4 wheel?

I have a 50 acre mud pit in my back yard, but the trail of mud to my house, and in my driveway, has kind of given away who keeps plowing it. Me.

Does anyone know another place to wheel locally?

[Scott Harness]

I can probably make it!

<cough> I am present. I dont care where we meet. I will be able to make the lunch or whatever as for offroading depending on what we doing because I am still sporting my rugged old tires. But I am for it tho if my tires hold up

[smorris65]

This place is 2 hours 20 minutes away, 144 miles from Joes Crab Shack. //www.barnwellmountainra.com/
I've never been but hear the 4 wheeling is great, and they have overnight camping. I'm game to check it out if anyone else wants to tag along. If you just want some off the road, muddy, dirt trails I know where plenty are close to my house.

[Grand_Canyon_VXer]

So where in Wiley is there some offroading... I would totally be into something like that....

the trip up north also sounds good but I am doing a lot of traveling this month for work... might be hard to take the weekend also...

[smorris65]

I know of 2 places near George Bush & 78, between Sachse & Garland.
One has lot's of muddy dirt roads, the other has some large rocks, small hill's, and looks like deep mud along the trail. Wylie is North of Sachse off 78.

[TexVeX]

Joe's crab shack sounds great. I have always wanted to eat there but never done it. So count me in as long as nothing comes up to prevent it.

As for four wheeling mightn't there be places around some of the nearby lakes? Aren't some closer than 2 hours? I am probably not going to look into that myself because I do not know if I will be up for four wheelin' till I get caught up on all the maintenance I should do to the VX I just got. That is, Not counting some mild 4 wheeling I plan to do at my parents ranch next week.

[TexVeX]

So is there only going to be three of us if I show?

I noticed only two have confirmed in the events listing. I couldn't confirm due to I have no computer. Using my mother in law's today because the storms that flooded north Texas took out our computer with lightning. They were surge protected. But some something or other still messed up and its in the shop. But I am planning to be there today so I hope at least a couple of other folks can show up. I can't check back on here later , or don't think I can, But I will PM my number to someone who has confirmed and you can call and let me know.
