No way we are going to fill that house with just locals Your right.
Anyone have any good ideas, feel free to throw it in.
Alright, since you asked...
Some of us here at the GRR are interested in coming. Problem is it's a 5 hour drive. That sucks to say the least. We have a good beach with lots of hotels, rental houses bars, and restaurants ect. It's only a couple hours away for us (port A/Padre Island). The beach is good and campers are welcome. We would be almost certain to show up if LSFR where held there.**It can't be that much farther for you guys to drive there and it would be a nice change of scenery too. I know it's unlikely you guys would change the venue this late but I wanted to express a thought some of us here had shared for future rides.
Also, if anyone would be interested, we might put on a ride anyway in a month or so just before it gets cold.
**OK just checked: Freeport to Port A= 4 hours 11 min. Not as short as I had hoped. Too bad there is no beach between...
Has anyone ever checked out the beach area at Matagorda where the Colorado River dumps? It looks like there may be beach access there. If so, I bet that would be a sweet spot for a ride plus it's quite a bit closer 4 us.
Another idea would be to have the fall ride one place, the spring ride at the other.
