North Texas meet & 4x4, anyone?

[tomdietrying]

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

* TexVex
*Grand Canyon VXer

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.

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.

Great meeting everyone. There ended up being six VX owers there. I guess it is up to Rob to post the pictures.
Peace.
Tom

p.s.
Let's keep in touch and do a North Texas 4x4 trip somewhere.

[Scott Harness]

Yes it was!Nice to meet new people,smorris65,texvex,grandcanyonvxer, old friends Tom,Robert thanks everybody. Hope to see you soon.

[TexVeX]

I have a couple of pics and my computer is back online too. Yeah. But a storm is coming in and I have to get off here for now. I will try to look at my pictures soon as I can and post them if they came out ok. But I am sure my pics aren't as good as the others that were taken since my digicam is pretty old.

Anyway, I really enjoyed meeting everyone and am glad I got to go. Sorry I was late, I could have chatted so much more with everyone if I was on time. Sure was cool driving into the parking lot and seeing the line of V-crosses.

Maybe next time my boyfriend can make it. He'd like to meet everyone. He really likes the VX. He got to drive it on some trafficless back roads and going mudding, but he can't see good enough to drive in real traffic. So I look forward to next time and hope to see everyone again soon. And maybe some new folks too.
