MOOTMaG 2014

[Smoked U]

Can we agree to do this June 4th to the 8th, which precedes Father's Day (June 15)?

Do the 3 Sisters area?

Headquarter at Crider's on the Frio?

No iron commitments just yet, but, who is interested in really doing this so I can get a head count to approach Jill Crider for options.

[Jerry G Turner]

Count me in, who else? Is it June yet.

[lragan]

Count me in.  I will also help in any way I can.  Dave, just pm me with requests.

[Brad Badgett]

Good for me.

I'll be there.

Boy, do I have a great wife.  She gave me permission to miss our wedding anniversary to go to MOOTMAG.  She has been doing things like that for 45 years; guess I'll keep her.

I am not 100% but would like to be there, also I would not be one of your count as I have a difficult time sleeping. I could not sleep in the bunkhouse style and will have to source another form of lodging.

You damn skippy. I realized that the day we brought you home in pieces and she told me it was okay for you to get another motorcycle.

Why doesn't she come to the MOOTMaG?

Shoot, we may have to collect money and buy her a surrogate date for your anniversary.

Crider's is not roughin' it. These big cabins are nice houses.

Not that, my body likes it COLD so I turn the A/C down, low like 58 degrees low with a fan, when I travel in a car I bring my own fan to hotels (most people can't put up with the cold), people snoring will keep me up or getting up for restroom at night.

One big room with lots of people sleeping does not work for me unfortunately, unfortunately for me.

Wow, Terry, your fellow cub scouts must have loved you at the camporees. Just make sure you bring some of those frozen cocktails like last year (slurp!). Me love you Daiquiri long time... you party? .


Just for anyone else who has been following this, Criders cabins are not Daniel Boone one room cabins with a privy hole in the middle of the kitchen floor. They have separate bedrooms, full kitchens , separate bathrooms, washer dryer, it's a house.

It's being in the house with your family visiting for the holiday and you have to put them up.

I talked to Jill Crider this morning and she will be taking reservations for her cabins on February 3rd for the summer season. Jill is going to graciously let us jump ahead of the crowd on February 1 for any of us that want to stay at Crider's on the Frio which means we get choice of where any of us wants to stay. She tells me on the 3rd her other customers will pack up the rest of the times available on the weekends in June. If you are going to stay here, you need to take advantage of this situation. You will need to make a phone reservation with her on the 1st of February.

I am planning on renting out one of the 3 bedroom cabins which has 6 beds and opening it up to any of you who want to split costs with me. Example: The cabin is $397.50/night (tax included) divided by 6 beds equals $ 66.25 night. If you are bringing your wife/girlfriend, they get to stay free if you share a bed and I will give bedroom priority to anyone who wants this option.

Other cabin breakdowns:

# 7,8,9: $247.50/night divided by 4 beds $ 61.88/bed

#3,4: $ 220.00/night divided by 4 beds $ 55.00/bed

#1,2,5,6, $ 214.50/night divided by 4 beds $ 53.63/bed

Jill has agreed to waive the linen charge for our group during our stay.

Here is a link to the site: http://www.cridersonthefrio.com/index.htm

Criders does not have accommodations for tent campers/RVs, however, the property next door to Crider's, Yeargans River Bend on the Frio does; http://www.riverbendonthefrio.com/. Rates look to be $30.00 to $ 35.00/night plus a $1.00 trash fee for tent campsites. The gal there tells me they will be opening up for phone reservations on the 1st of February like Criders and it is first come first served. I have not stayed there, so be sure to look over the policies for camping carefully if you choose this avenue for overnight stay.

Since I haven't heard any protests, I am going to set the date for MOOTMaG 2014 as June 4th through the 8th with Mr. & Mrs. Cothern's blessing.

Let's get this thing rolling, troops.

Good to hear that Scott. Even though times are still financially tight, I hope the word gets out early enough that people can make this event, especially new folks.

Scott,

I'm in San Antonio too on the NW side of town.  In the past I've met Lawrence Regan in Blanco and we rode to Leakey together; there is a good chance we'll do that again.  You are welcome to ride with us if you like.
