Spinnernut's Guadalupe Adventure Gathering Aug 7-9

[Txbum]

Oops, that is German style sausage....any other suggestions ? Blondes (Shiner beer ), pinata for spinnernut to crack open?

[Big DE]

I think it safe to say a minimum of 40 plus. 15 trailers x 2 plus several tent campers. I think it will be a large time.

Thanks DE, may I offer to stay back and cook while you guys go tubing? my dw had minor surgery and may be unable to participate in the tubing event. I can can BBQue a mean brisket, sausage, pollo ( chicken) ..Just offering. I see you are from near Alvin. Are you passing thru Schulenburg on I10...if so and need a break stop by and laugh at the Txbum teardrop...then we ( if it's ok ) follow you to gathering. Rick( Txbum)

[Big DE]

Rick,
We would love to see the Txbum Teardrop. We plan on leaving around 9 AM and can be at you house around 11 or so, and we can go from there. If you plan on Bbqueing <(i know I spelled that wrong) I can give you a hand, We will be close to camp as we wont be tubing the Guadalupe as the water is really low. And we prefer to sit and relax in the water and watch.

[Big DE]

Hey DE and Txbum..... I'm stopping at Ennis to pick up Cindy and Tyler , then we'll be there midday ish Friday .
Cindy had surgery back around June, so not sure if she'll be tubing.
I don't know that I want to be in the sun for a full 6 hours , so I'll wait til I get there to see what the options are.
Someone mentioned putting the chair in the low water and watching everyone go by ... or it might be low enough to lounge but not necessarily go far and be able to practically walk back.

So I'll plan on doing some deviled eggs for Saturday night and maybe bring a cake too

[Txbum]

Hey Oklahomajewel, have any suggestions for Saturday's eats...any requests? perhaps we can set up a small shade in or near the river for those that wish not to go tubing..Oh can we BBQ near the river ...kinda keep an eye on the food and enjoy the scenic view also? Is fishing permitted or do you have to pay extra? Thanks BIG DE I will pm the info to you...

[Big DE]

Txbum,

My spot has river access in front of it and I have a 12 x 12 ez up. I also have a nice radio with mp3 player that has about 12 hours of music on it, and are you talking about bringing a BBQ pit with you? all they have at the camp sites are grills.

Big DE

Hi everyone, We forgot to add that we have a small floating ice chest that will hold a 12 pack and ice, with 4 or 5 cup holders around the edge. We will have some extra space if anyone needs to share. We could also make home made ice cream Saturday, if anyone would want any. (probably plain vanilla) We have old truck tubes that we are bringing. Would be nice to have ones with bottoms, but these were free! We'll be leaving Irving early Friday morning. Looking forward to seeing you all!
