US Southwest Recurring - North Central Texas Meet & Greet

Hey folks! I've been on the forum for 2-3 years now but really haven't participated much in the last 18 months. We used to live in San Antonio, and have ended up in Round Rock, literally 5 minutes from where this meet happens.

Just wanted to poke my head up and say hey, planning on starting to attend, would love to get to know some of you guys. Planning on showing up for the April gtg!

Since I assume everybody likes pics, this is what I've spent the last 18 months doing instead of camping.
Trailer is built completely from scratch, all stick welded. This was my Covid / learning to weld project. Late last year I got the Coastal Off-road diy bumper kit for my 4runner, and threw that together over christmas. Learning to weld has been super fun, but our family hadn't been camping in over 18 months. This year is going to involve me setting aside the welding hood and taking our trailer out as much as possible.

Sounds fun! Is it at Oxford Ranch? We have reservations for Lake Sommerville state park this weekend, but I could be pursuaded to change course.

Also, I'm assuming everybody's cool with kids? Our family is me, my wife, a 3 and a 1 yr old. Our style of camping is laid back, not heavy on drinking, heavy on hanging out and enjoying being outside. Just to make sure that vibes well with you guys.

No worries about any of that. And don’t change your plans for just for us.

I figured-good to know.

I talked with my wife, honestly I sort of want to connect to some more people in the Austin area, so we may go to oxford to meet y'all instead of camping in somerville by ourselves. We'd like to make some more connections with people with similar interests. Do we need to contact anybody at the campsite to pay, or is it just a dropbox honor system?

At Oxford you stop at the front and pay the guy there. Tell him it’s the tent camping area. Not sure how they price a family. For me alone it’s $10 a night.

Man, I wish I could go to the trip this weekend. I dropped the camper shell off on Sunday to get paint matched to the truck and will hopefully be picking it up Saturday. Maybe the next one.

For reference, here’s what she looked like. Soon, she’ll be the Silver Bullet, or surfer... haven’t decided yet.
