2009 Nationals GTG

I'm stealing this from Stealheadchaser's sig for my reason to go!!!

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

That should be the motto for the Nationals GTG

Hey all,
  I am in. I will be traveling from Maryland. Attended 2008 for 1st one in Tennessee, had great time. I will be towing camper (26') so will be camping out. Anyone from Maryland, DC, or Virginia, or from up north want to meet up and caravan down? We can stop at midway point (Tennessee) spend nite in camper (sleeps 6, so I have room).  I may travel through Wichita Falls, Texas way, and drop wife off for her to visit family, and then travel on to San Antonio, and pick her up on way back. So, if anyone wants to hook up and caravan down with me, I have room in camper during trip, and also during stay in San Antonio.

Stay tuned for campground information.  I'm still compiling the list 

[Chopped_Burban]

That's nothing...travel from Germany to AL for my first GTG

The plan: Come to GA, spend the night, we’ll head out together

Hey Loggie, why don't I fly in to Baghdad and meet up with you, and we can start here?



  I know you'll be gone by then. I'll still be here.

Hey I will be traveling from Saskatchewan down through the Dakotas and then down I 81, it seems my GF is not at all excited about attending!  So if any one would like to travel down there together in a Caravan that would be great! Sure would make the drive more enjoyable!

[Texascwgrl]

Spork Driver... I do appreciate you working on the camping stuff.

I am very glad you all are setting up caravans already.  I have traveled in a group and solo... in a GROUP is much more fun and really adds to the trip we call Nationals 

Besure that you all that are stating that you will be attending on this thread add yourselves to the attending list thread too 

[Spork_Driver]

Did I do that yet?  I don't remember    Oh BTW, my mom is ok with me missing the wedding as long as I make it to the shower.    So I am definitely in.

Peekingduck is in SD.  You should PM him to see if he is coming.  Maybe you can meet up.  The only other Canadians I know is B-BAD and his family from Ontario.  They were at Nationals in '07.

Only 19 hrs, 1215 miles for me, definitely doable.

I'm in the same boat as you man!!! I'm trying to get my brother to go with me. But so far it looks like I'm riding solo.

[Spork_Driver]

Don't feel bad boys, I'm most likely going to rolling solo this year myself.  Not sure if the hubby is going to make it.  But I know he'll be doing his darnedest to be there.

Yeah!!!!!

[Madison06AV]

Wow  ,

Hadn't seen this thread before.  I just got back from a trip to San Antonio and stayed at the Westin Riverwalk (on someone else's nickle).  It is one of my favorite cities to visit - the Alamo, the riverwalk, museums, great food, friendly people ...

Going to be hot in July though. 

I'm also interested in camping options.  1,261 miles according to Google.  I'm going to try to make it.

I'm hoping we will have quite a few from the northeast to go Kev. We should have enough people going where we may be able to have someone help you with the driving. Hopefully my truck will be done by then, if not I'll need a ride too

So hot is only a state of mind ... Why not hop in your AV and come up and see me in Wisconsin in January.  Then tell me cold is only a state of mind  

Once I have my lady talked into this trip, I'll post in the sign up thread.

Everyone,

Here's the route Google suggests I take.



I'd love to Caravan along the way.  Anyone interested?

If I make it, it should be nice and cool in San Antonio compared to Iraq 

[Texascwgrl]

I hear you Chopped_ Burban ...

Madison06AV,
I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio area... Yeah I know what cold is already... that is why I live here 

It will be an enjoyable time and we will have water activites that you can par-take in

I'm just playing the waiting game till then. I'd like to meet up with the NY & NJ guys too like #7 and Tango. They seem like cool guys!!!

Oh boy!!! I dont think anyone wants to see any of my skin!!!    But you know what you can look in to for me if you get a chance. All you can eat BBQ. This guy I talk to on the phone when ordering equipment for my company is out of Dallas and he told me about this place in Texas that has the best BBQ and its all you can eat for $10. Now thats what I want.  I been hoping he answers the phone when I call so I can ask him what it is called.

Going that route, you shouldn't have any problems meeting up with MoAv and them I would think.


BTW love the Avatar
