Sounds good Scott. Willis IS a heckuva lot closer than Leaky. But the Frio is a wee bit colder. Enjoy!!

Be safe, have fun, remember those who gave and return here safe.
Did that myself a few times while living in San Antonio....definite blast. Canyon lake a few times also. Miss the hill country & my HArley when I think about it.

Hopefully the weather holds of for the TDP open house & BBQ I'm having at my place - keeping my fingers crossed. I know my friend Jon will be out storm chasing in Northern OK & Kansas Thursday & Friday- could be a rough couple of weather days ahead.

I get a 4 day weekend, but the weather is supposed to be crappy. My plans include pulling and rebuilding the engine and transmission in my Bronco (with help from my sons) with a little fishing mixed in.

Dude that is the same buggy I just bought for my wife about a month and a half ago. Do you know who makes the frame? Same fiberglass and all, but ours need to be repaired and painted so they are not on now.
Back to the topic, we are off to the Colorado river north of Yuma AZ. Lots of beer, floatin, and sandbar if the water is not too high. Hope everyone is safe in their weekend plans.

Secured the last campsite at Wind Creek State Park yesterday. Rampages' campsite is right beside mine. We are going to sit under the awning (with a fan on) cold beer in hand, and watch the kiddos have a ball.
the campground has 626 sites and they are all FULL. Needless to say there will also be some people watching this weekend. (us rednecks is funny to watch)
