MOOTMAG 10

[Jerry G Turner]

I know in the past we have had dates by now. Vacation sign up for postal employees starts the end of Nov. Just wondering if there will be any dates by then?

[lragan]

It is not up to me to decide, but I will propose for consideration June 6-10, 2012 (Wednesday thru Sunday.) 

I am also proposing a location in Central Texas Hill Country, or maybe Big Bend National Park?

What do you guys think?

June 6-10 works for me.  Hill Country and Big Bend are both great choices.  I hope #9 wasn't the last MootMag (especially since I missed it).

Do MM's always end on Father's Day?  just asking

You really enjoy getting that Tie that much

David, at least in the U.S., Father's Day is always celebrated (more like somewhat observed in my house) on the 3rd Sunday in June.  In 2012 this is June 17, the Sunday following the dates proposed by Iragan.

ya, no problem here with the dates. Heck, I usually get up and cook breakfast on father's day, something I have always done since kids.  Boy, I would sure hate to miss that next year....(inserting sarcasm)....

I had occasion to visit with an engineer with the Park Service yesterday on another matter, involving Big Bend National Park.  He said the peak time is in the winter, because it can be quite hot in the summer -- he mentioned 120 degrees -- and I remember the last time I was there in June 1963, I left my MGB parked for three days with the windows up, and the cover on the steering column that encloses the turn signals, etc. melted into the mechanism.  Maybe Big Bend is not such a "hot" idea, after all. 

Hill country still sounds attractive.  Will look around some.  Lots of good roads besides "the threes" that we ride from Koyote ranch...

I ditto that.

I would love to ride Big Bend, but not in the summer. This idea got killed before as a MOOTMaG location for that reason.

While we are throwing ideas around, I would like to propose Turner Falls/Arbuckle Mountains in Oklahoma again for consideration as a MOOTMaG 10 site.

Not for me!!  Just got to spend every father's day with mine.

That is what I thought.  I just know I have been to one MM and it ended on FD.

I like either one of those locations being Ok or Hill Country.  Hill country would probably get a better turn out only because of distance, but I would try to show up to either one.
