T-shirt idea... thoughts?
My T-shirt gal can do these ink imprint not screen pretty fast on site in NB.. let me know if you need help. I’m gone till next Tuesday
If we make this happen we can essentially use my house as a "base aka parking/bbq area.." that day.. We're close enough to drop in and i can likely arrange through a local company a bus back. I'm sure after float activities could be arranged.. I live around the corner from a good bar with plenty of seating right by the river. We're in the "historic district of NB.. Dave touch base with me and let me know how you want to proceed. Ill be in havasu this weekend..have to take "shit" to the havasu house remodel.. lol
BTW schlitterbahn is "essentially" across from us (3 blocks), its a good time.
Wish I woulda seen this before the weekeaccommodating.
I've got parking for at least 4 rigs in addition to mine as well provided the boats are under 28 ft. Im about 15 minutes from the lake
Where is everyone staying?
I have never taken my 21’ jet bote to Travis. I know it can get rough as f$&@. Little worried about not having a big enough boat

When I was a kid, we used to go there in a 16 ft. wooden boat. Never had problems. Travis can get a little choppy down toward the dam, but I have never found any where on the lake that you can't find smooth water in 10 min. or so.Where is everyone staying?

I’m gone the next 9 days with work/trips. Lmk what you need help on and I’ll help where I can..Wish I woulda seen this before the weekend!
A few family and friends of mine are in as well. I live in Houston but have boated in Austin for years.
Also went to college in San Marcos and haven't floated in NB since.
It's ton of fun. There are more rules now then their used to be so not sure how that impacts things.
One of the great mysteries of the universe is how you can float the river drinking beer for hours on end and no one ever has to pee.

1) I was talking with another member and we both agreed "What the fucs is with that shirt, where does it even come close to boating?" It is merely a RDP advertisement. (Sorry but look at it and show me boating)
2) SHUNTER when you were there as a kid a 14' boat with a 25 hp outboard was a race boat. (HAHAHA)

If any of the texas people plan to come out for DS/SCF.. Youre welcome on the x-flight. I plan to fly in both weekends th-Sun. Frontier flights are cheap from AUS to LAS. PM me or look for the texas and trump flags haha. I hope this meetup happens, river float too..
RD i talked to a guy i know about a "bus" to the river floats in TX, as you plan i can give details...im close enough for people to park and walk to drop off if this gets thrown into the mix, and we bus back all buss lol.
So we would launch the boats and leave them in slips or something?
Traditionally the marinas have offered weekend slips but last summer just about every marina was at 100% occupancy so I would not count on it as the courtesy slips are for day use only at most of them.
I am still thinking this could be a great trip to start the summer - that said, @RiverDave why did you pick this weekend? Is there an event taking place that you are syncing the trip with?
I recall earlier in the thread William taking about getting flights and hotel i see Ace talking about DS/SCF??? and floating in the river etc. It seems like there is a lot being suggested or talked about and I'm not sure what it all is - possibly just a reason to use the new Motorhome?
Can you give more details about why you are gong to TX / what other events may be happening etc. ?
This was the weekend shlbyntro suggested.
William and Wendi are going to Cancun
We still good for this Dave? Any idea on a rough agenda?

Ok Dave give me the update. Am I going for a ride in your toon next month? If not I’m going to go ahead and list my Rage for sale. I was going to wait until this trip but if you’re not coming it’s time for someone else to have fun.

Too bad, was looking forward to it.
I am pulling the chutes on this deal.. it’s for a variety of reasons, but ultimately I have to much stuff going on in my life right now to pursue a week plus rv trip with the toon.
