Might even consider scheduling it with a fall time activity in one of the nearby small towns.

-----I am from Oregon.. home of the Wet Westies... a central location us-to-them puts us in New Mexico..... am I missing something.?

Fine if anyone wants to join... come on down..!

>There are only about three actual VW parts stores around Dallas but I'd be willing to post a bulletin at each of them If I get a weeks notice. If someone wants to commit to a date and location and E-mail me the 8.5 x 11" bulletin that I can run off on my supply of copies on my color printer.

------Fine idea... I think we have settled on a date: October 26-27-28.  I will not have time to make up a poster...

>I personally like Lake Whitney State park because it has some wide open areas for baseball, kids can ride bikes,....... etc....

------Lake Whitney is over 300 miles from our home and nearly that far from Houston.... not very central.

------ I know only what I see on the Parks web site about Ft. Parker State Park... but from that information...( I don't believe they have screened shelters but how necessary are they at the end of Oct.?) and the fact that it is probably the most central location.... I vote we meet there... That said I'm open but would prefer not to drive more than 200 miles +/-.

>I think we need an inventory of kids, dogs, wives etc to select the best site.

Folks..??

Let's see if we can choose a spot in the next day or two... I will then find out about reservations..

BTW.. does anyone have another email for Jason Stevenson in Arlington.. he keeps bouncing..

Thanks Don & Susan... no dogs, kids, goats, ducks......
