 Topic: 2015 BIG TEXAS Rally!Posted: 24 Dec 2014 at 9:07am |

Nothing scheduled yet, this is just a space for comments and maybe future planning on the subject.
Item #1. This rally, if it happens, is open to ALL campers. Beginning with forming the time frame, Luv2Q has suggested avoiding the summer months and I agree. Winter, Spring, and Fall is a perfect time for outdoor activities in Texas. We also go way North for our summer trip. Please feel free to share your thoughts...after we settle on a time-frame we can move on to location.

Awesome news! I will be glad to help organize in any way I can. Although, my time may have some restrictions as my daughter just got engaged 3 days ago and we will be planning a wedding in 2015 :)
I would concur with a non summer event! Before May or after September is my vote. I have never been, but have gotten a glowing first hand review of the state park in Tyler. Inks lake is another winner in my book. |

Great job on taking the initiative to set this up Podders! Once you get something more firmly set in place let me know, I will add it to the Map and xpost it to the other online groups if you're interested. There are a lot of Texas and surrounding Podders on the FB group who I am certain would be interested in a Rally out there ways!

Sounds good and I agree Spring and fall are better months and easier for us to get vacation time off from work as well. I'll try to help if I can.

Well, why don't we start by everybody suggesting some places they like (or would like to experience). Some that have already been mentioned here & there:
I'll volunteer to keep an updated list so we don't have to hunt through previous posts. I'm guessing that, after a while, we'll all get tired of suggesting and want to make a decision. Or maybe someone will just say "Hey, y'all, we'll be at xyz the weekend of mm/dd/yy. Come on down!". It could be that making it less formal & organized might be more fun. The list of suggestions will still be useful, though; just about everyone knows of cool places that others may not. MissyBuck & Podster have already given us some good ideas. Bet others have some equally good ones. Your thoughts, ideas? Sure would be fun getting to meet y'all.

My 2¢...What I like about Tyler SP is that is appears (I've never been there) to have it all AND we may get some of our Podder friends N & S & E (maybe even some out W) to join us because it's not to far for them to go! Please, anyone who has been to Tyler State Park tell us what it's like!
It looks like there is a nice big lake for swimmers, boaters, and paddlers. It's big and has several pull through spots with full hookups! Fishing opportunities, no licence required, if you fish from the dock or the bank. Good facilities! Good hiking and biking! If we time it right, it looks like the fall colors could be really nice. There are cabins, screened shelters, tent camping and of course, plenty of POD Spots! Boat Rentals, Park Store, and Playgrounds! I think the key here to a successful rally is getting a location and time frame set as early as possible so folks can get there reservation. The Texas State Park System is first come first served...no saves that I am aware of. |

Tyler looks awfully good, doesn't it? I'll check & find out how much in advance they'll accept reservations and if all state parks follow the same policy.
