This years event was great. We had triple the head count from last year. 60 people total. Today Tana & I went for a hike & jog at Lewisville Park. It's a few miles from our house. We thought it might make a good place to have a gathering.The park is 150 acres and has the lewis river running thru it. Miles of paved and unpaved trails to hike too. It has 13 big shelters with power in them and wood fired grilles and big barb-B-Q's. Several nice restroom houses, and lots of play equipment in many different areas for the kids.

The outdoor shelters are very nice and have there own adjacent parking areas. The rent is cheap from what I was told. Also if they are not rented there is a open sign on them and they are then Free. Take a look at these pic's and see if you think this would be a good place to have the next Meet and greet.

The other Pluss is that we are in an area that would be great for a cruise too.

Looks great. Is there a camp ground in that park with hook ups for my RV?

You need to give the photos a minute to load, that's why the posts look empty.

Here is a link to the park and a address so you can check nearby RV parks. This is just an idea. I am open to others or we could do it at my house again.

Some of the shelters are plenty big enough for our group. The shelters have adjacent parking for our cars. I saw a park guy and asked him if we could get permission to do a photo shoot on the grass, and he said yes.

As this year proved, things may change, but for now, put me on the list of attendees!

[Gun Oil]

Being late spring, could that area be prone to producing a nice sticky pitch to blow on our cars?

Add MustangMissy to the list. Dad got the fever and bought his own last week; Black with red stripes limited edition (only 25 made) 2009 Shelby GT 500. So add Dennis the Menace too. More color variety to our gathering.
