The flip is great spots like this are not crowded any longer.
Is that over near Holcomb ranch? If so I was just there a few weeks ago. Three years ago, if you didn't get there early friday you couldn't get a good spot.
I wonder if this means I can go back to calling it off-road camping again?

if there is a decline in rally points you might think about creating one
I agree. However, my original one, going on 5+ years now, has dropped to all but non-existent. I've been the only one showing up for the last several months. So, it's not like there isn't something available. The folks just don't attend anymore.

I believe that the original idea of a meet up was great but that may have run its course, people I talk to want rally points for trips and not everyone wants to work on a trip then put out an open invite.
Overlanding or what ever you want to call it is what we make it, but its defiantly not dead just not as visible maybe.

Ill try to get in touch with you when we swing through TX next June.

Still, I got a lotta love for those GM s-series trucks from 84 to 94.
I dreamed of finding that truck again some day and buying it back. Being able to modify and build it with my adult skill set and budget, it would have been amazing. And I did find it. Sadly, totaled and sold by the insurance company. I don't know how to track it down from there. https://ucars.pro/vin/1GCCT14B6F2100641
