Ok - its probably close enough now that most should know their plans.

Who is going? When are you going? and Where are you going to be?

I'll start, assuming I get my motor this week/weekend and get get everything reassembled, I am planning on heading down Thursday evening if there will be some of you all there, or else early Friday morning. I'm going to tent camp at Lady Bird.

by **BrianB** » 06 Wed Apr, 2011 2:07 pm

Going Friday afternoon. Staying at a B&B that is behind the Nimitz Museum. I forget the name. Hopefully the Buggy issues will be worked out by then.

by **Bryan Porter** » 07 Thu Apr, 2011 8:06 am

Thursday morning and staying at the man cave.

by **CoryN** » 07 Thu Apr, 2011 1:17 pm

well I guess if there are only 3 of us, we got win, place and show wrapped up.
:roll:

Don't want to jinx it, but the forecast looks promising this year... 8-)

by **ckolek** » 07 Thu Apr, 2011 3:58 pm

by **Bill K** » 07 Thu Apr, 2011 5:17 pm

Leaving Thursday morning. I'm staying at what used to be the Holiday Inn. I'm not sure what it's called now.

by **yoboy** » 07 Thu Apr, 2011 8:03 pm

We will be in Thursday, staying at Oakwood RV Park aka man cave location.....

by **Jack Duncan** » 08 Fri Apr, 2011 10:02 am

We'll be there early Saturday and Sunday. Driving up both days from Boerne.

by **BrianB** » 08 Fri Apr, 2011 11:47 am

So, do we all want to cruise in together Sunday morning from the ManCave? Have a DuneBuggy invasion?

by **Bill K** » 08 Fri Apr, 2011 2:25 pm

I'm up for an invasion.

by **Ken** » 08 Fri Apr, 2011 2:35 pm

Hey Bryan and Billy, could y'all ask Annie and Gloria if this is ok?
I hate for this to get out of hand, before you guys get your permission...

Ken

by **Bryan Porter** » 08 Fri Apr, 2011 5:04 pm

Billy and I are going to be there on thursday to play where will you be.

No permission necessary we stay at the MAN CAVE!!!!!!

Bryan

by **Ken** » 08 Fri Apr, 2011 8:10 pm

LOL...

Delia just told me we aren't leaving until Saturday morning. I think I need some man cave time.

So camp fire Saturday night at "THE MAN CAVE" ???????

by **Sunshines Buggy** » 08 Fri Apr, 2011 9:38 pm

We are going up friday morning.

by **Bill K** » 08 Fri Apr, 2011 10:00 pm

Anyone got a cruise planned for Friday?

by **BrianB** » 09 Sat Apr, 2011 7:17 am

What time is the mancave leaving to drive into the show?

by **Bryan Porter** » 09 Sat Apr, 2011 7:29 am

I would like to do the cruise with the show .
To show support for Steve for puting all the work into this show.

Sunday show 5 am sounds good to me.

by **CoryN** » 09 Sat Apr, 2011 3:50 pm

Well just because there are more cars in the cruise with the potential to break down? Doom Buggy award can only go to a buggy

I'm up for the show cruise

by **Bill K** » 11 Mon Apr, 2011 12:46 pm

FRIDAY CRUISE?
Is anyone that will be in town interested a a cruise to Johnson City on Friday? I'm thinking of making that run either on Ranch Roads there and back, or on 290 there and Ranch Roads back.

But, it's not something I care to do alone, so I wondered if anyone else would be interested?

Likewise, if someone has something better in mind, I'm sure open to that also.

by **Bryan Porter** » 11 Mon Apr, 2011 2:14 pm

map it and we can talk about it when you get there.

by **blackthree4me** » 11 Mon Apr, 2011 3:31 pm

We are going as well !
we should aarive friday afternoon some time thru sunday evening
Only brining the buggy this year, as we have stuff for the swap meet to sell.

UPDATE :: We are staying at the Country INN and Cottages
we checked and yes the hot tub is working !!!

by **ckolek** » 11 Mon Apr, 2011 4:35 pm

thats good new Steve, ive been meaning to call and see if you were coming..looking forward to it. 3 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!

by **BrianB** » 12 Tue Apr, 2011 11:42 am

Well it looks like my tow vehicle fell through :cry:

so the buggy will not be going to the Classic. The wife and I will still be going though as we both need a sorely needed vacation from everyday life. We'll try and stop by the Mancave for a Beer and glass of wine. See ya there. 8-)

by **Bryan Porter** » 12 Tue Apr, 2011 12:15 pm

just drive the buggy and save the gas.

by **CoryN** » 12 Tue Apr, 2011 12:27 pm

Well I just got back from the inspection place. Flying colors.

But I do have an issue, I took the front shocks off because they were bottoming out, I cannot drive it this way, its way too bouncy.

So if I can't find something shorter locally tonight, I guess I'll be looking like a gasser. I'll have to pull the front back up and put the old shocks back on.

by **ckolek** » 12 Tue Apr, 2011 12:57 pm

Hey Brian I have a tow bar hook it up behind your s10 and drag it on..

by **BrianB** » 12 Tue Apr, 2011 3:51 pm

I may have my problem solved. Thanks for the offer Chris. I also have a tow bar but it would need to be modified to fit the Berrien chassis mounting points. Besides the S-10 does not have AC and momma wouldnt ride to Fredericksburg in a car without AC :mrgreen:

Also thanks Bryan for the phone call. I was really busy at the time.

by **Bill K** » 12 Tue Apr, 2011 9:31 pm

FRIDAY CRUISE I'm posting this up so I don't miss someone once I'm in Fredericksburg.
Anyone who would like to join me for a cruise to Johnson City Friday can meet me at the Howard Johnson Motel (former Holiday Inn) parking lot at 9:30 AM Friday morning.

We'll take 290 out for town to RR 1631 to RR 2721 to RR 1320 to FM 1323 to US 281 north of Johnson City. Then about 3 miles south into downtown.

There's a pretty neat restaurant in an old cottom mill and some shops to snoop, etc. Then most likely we'll back track the way we came or take 290 back.

It looks like about a 38 mile one way trip.

by **Joe** » 12 Tue Apr, 2011 11:30 pm

We will be their some time friday.

by **Bill K** » 13 Wed Apr, 2011 8:16 am

CRUISE: I got to thinking (A Dangerous Thing

). A lot more folks are coming in on Friday than Thursday.

Soooo, if there is some interest in cruising to Johnson City on Saturday instead of Friday, I'm sure game to do that. I know Bryan plans to cruise with the Show Cruise and I'm sure not trying to take away or compete with that cruise. It's just that I don't usually do that cruise, so perhaps if more people would be interested we could do the Johnson City thing on Saturday.

I'm planning to roll out in the morning and would like to hear from some folks before I leave.

Let me know what you think. OK :?:

There are multiple cruises in the Classic's agenda. One Fri and two Sat.

Bryan Porter wrote:Sunday show 5 am sounds good to me.

We won't be rolling in until sometime Saturday morning. With that said, obviously we would be more interested in hearing any Saturday plans.
We will start hollering at y'all when we get close, hoping to get behind someone, going somewhere...
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

by **staggerwing** » 13 Wed Apr, 2011 10:58 am

Sandy and I will be arriving in the early afternoon and will be dragging along brother in law Danny, and sister MaryAnn; she cannot wait to have a buggy!!! Guys, we really need to work on Danny while he's there. If there is a short cruise in the afternoon Saturday please let us know, and if someone needs a "rider", MaryAnn and Danny are two candidates that are likely to become future club members! Danny's optimistic, he just needs to get a taste of what we all enjoy so much. They are staying with us at the HJ, where Bill and Linda are.

See you then!

by **Texasbuggys** » 13 Wed Apr, 2011 12:19 pm

Not making it this year folks. Just too much going on and with a senior in high school and Saturday night is Prom, its not happening. Ya'll have a great time and be safe.

by **CoryN** » 13 Wed Apr, 2011 12:44 pm

I'm a solo so I will have a seat available.

by **Bill K** » 13 Wed Apr, 2011 12:51 pm

So, as to a Saturday cruise to Johnson City?: Is anyone up for that and what would be a good time? I'm not at all married to 9:30 am.

Hey Richard, we've got Danny as a captive audience at the Howard Johnson. By the time we are throught with him this weekend he'll be getting a buggy by Monday. And, I also have an open seat for he or your sister.

I also like Bryan's idea of a Sunday after 5:00 cruise. Count me in.

by **CoryN** » 13 Wed Apr, 2011 12:59 pm

I'm leaving Friday morning early early, so I might not make it in time for an early Friday morning cruise. I'll hunt y'all down when I get there.

by **GregR** » 13 Wed Apr, 2011 1:32 pm

Looks like Susan and I are going to make it to the Classic.
Johnson City sounds like it might work ...
maybe leave closer to 10-10:15?

Late 40's Dodge Coronet. World of difference. Tightened it right up

by **Bryan Porter** » 13 Wed Apr, 2011 7:18 pm

Johnson City on Friday works for me.

by **GregR** » 13 Wed Apr, 2011 7:43 pm

I'm confused. I thought Johnson City cruise was Saturday morning..?

by **Bill K** » 13 Wed Apr, 2011 10:14 pm

A few posts back I did change it to Saturday morning instead of Friday in the hopes more could participate. I'm sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

Also, the meet time is 10 am at the Howard Johnson Motel (formerly Holiday Inn).

God speed and safe travels to everyone on their way to Fredericksburg. C U THere.

by **CoryN** » 14 Thu Apr, 2011 8:33 am

Ditto - and ice down the beer.

by **Vee Dub Nut** » 14 Thu Apr, 2011 12:42 pm

Can't wait to see all you guys there....

Still don't have a buggy yet, but one of these days... Working on some ideas, and hopefully sooner rather than later. I'll be bringing the wifey around to see all the buggies to get her fired up about it again :mrgreen:

Cory, I need to get a ride in your buggy to see how the new rocket booster, err, engine is working

by **Bill K** » 15 Fri Apr, 2011 7:41 am

SATURDAY CRUISE:Cruising to Johnson City. Meet at the Howard Johnson Motel or the Post Office parking lot across the street at 10:00 AM, Saturday morning . Ya'll Come.

by **CoryN** » 18 Mon Apr, 2011 5:48 pm

Many Thanks to the proprieters of the Man Cave. I appreciate your hospitality and for taking in an orphan for the weekend

Cory

by **ckolek** » 18 Mon Apr, 2011 8:06 pm

X2, i think they took me in to have a whipping post...lol. i enjoyed every minute of it.

by **yoboy** » 18 Mon Apr, 2011 9:29 pm

Please come back we are getting bored....

by **staggerwing** » 19 Tue Apr, 2011 8:30 am

We missed out, but I can't get "grilled steaks" out of my head. You guys know how to relax!

by **yoboy** » 19 Tue Apr, 2011 5:56 pm

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Man cave for a visit

A special thanks to our fellow campers. Maybe next year a few more folks can camp with us at the campground.

We enjoyed every minute of our time in Fredericksburg. Was there a car show in town? Had so much fun the show is just taking a back-seat to the rest of the weekend. Like Staggerwing said can't stop thinking about them good steaks, but wait what about the biscuits and gravy, oh and Texas shaped pecan pancakes with bacon, and the breakfast tacos not to mention Brian's secret recipe for Rita's but it's not really a secret just like the secret pockets on his dune buggy..... he tells everyone!!!! :lol:

We were blessed with great weather this year. Quite a difference from last year and we were very thankful that a lot of buggy cruise weather was sent our way. We found some great new roads on Monday, we will have to try all of those next year.....
