Texas Hill Country Rally Reports

gmsboss1 · Apr 1, 2009

The Texas Hill Country Rally is underway!

Our hosts Lorna and Ned were joined today by Jane and John Canfield and Mary Ann and Don Nesbitt. More attendees are expected later in the week.

The weather is beautiful. Sunny with a high of 75 today with more of the same predicted for the coming week.

After getting settled in, we traveled to the Reiter Estate for a tour of the property complete with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.

The happy people in picture 1 below are Don, Lorna, Jane, John, and Ned.

Picture 2 includes Mary Ann, Lorna, the Reiters' neighbors Kay and John, Jane, John, and Ned.

As the sun began to set, we adjourned to the local gourmet restaurant seen in picture 3 for a feast of assorted BBQ and trimmings!

More tomorrow!

Looks like a great time is in store for all attendees. Wish we could be there. Have fun all.

Ned · Apr 2, 2009

This was our first visit to the Guadalupe Grill and while the place isn't fancy, the barbecue was definitely tasty.

Dave R · Apr 2, 2009

Maybe we will try it out when Shirley and I arrive on the 13th.

Ned · Apr 2, 2009

Ron, you're on. It's close to the lot too. Just off 281 on 306.

BigLarry · Apr 2, 2009

We're hoping to leave Bryan before noon on Friday the 3rd and should be there in the middle of the afternoon. We're looking forward to meeting everyone.

Ned · Apr 2, 2009

See you tomorrow, Larry. We'll all be waiting.

BigLarry · Apr 2, 2009

I'm glad We're not traveling today. There is one heck of a north wind out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ned · Apr 2, 2009

Hopefully, the worst of the winds will blow themselves out today and tomorrow will be better driving. Haven't seen George yet so don't know how bad it was coming from Junction. Hope he doesn't get blown off the road.

I've rolled up our windward awnings and Don pulled his slideout in.

Lorna · Apr 3, 2009

Today started out with clear, sunny, a little chilly and coffee at the Barn/office. The coffee is free for campground guests (one cup per person). While enjoying the coffee we decided what we were going to do for the day.

While Ned stayed at the coach and finished setting up his new computer tower the rest of us drove down to San Antonio to run a couple of errands, have lunch at the Tower of the Americas and take a walk along the famous River Walk. Because of the high wind the distance visibility wasn't very clear. The food at the Chart House was very good and the walk along the River Walk was wonderful.

After we returned to the park we welcomed George and Ruth Drake and their friend, Ed, at Happy Hour. It was very nice to finally meet George and Ruth, also, their friend, Ed, in person.

John Canfield · Apr 3, 2009

We're having fun and thanks to Lorna and Ned for being our hosts

We are having fun!

Here's a fun contest. How many rally-ites does it take to get a free cup of coffee?

See pictures below.

The first to post the correct answer gets, um, er, -- a free cup of coffee at The Spring Branch RV Resort! Come and get it!

PS - In the last picture, that guy to Mary Ann's right (That would be Mary Ann's LEFT!) is JOHN, not Dave. Dave who? I don't know. There's not even a Dave here.....

Contest #2 how many Don's does it take to post a correct picture caption? DUH! Sorry, John!

Ned · Apr 3, 2009

Today we'll remember to reboot the coffee maker first

Heading up to the barn about 0900.

gmsboss1 · Apr 3, 2009

Reboot the coffee maker?!?

I'm not ready for this new world stuff........

Tom · Apr 3, 2009

Reboot the coffee maker?!?

Nah, do a master reset, i.e. unplug it and plug it in again.

Ned · Apr 3, 2009

That's how you reboot it

Turn it off and on.
