Hey everyone Sorry I have been so busy with Summer happenings between work and kids and work and wheeling and work and did I say kids and work?
Sorry I havent posted up yet but HERE is the date and I wanna get a consensus from all IS THE CURRENT LOCATION A GOOD ONE ORRRRR SHOULD I MOVE IT?
I'll make a poll, the only reason I ask is cause what I'm used to is us utilizing sonic for convenience of food and beverage but it seems as though not too many are taking advantage of that. let me know by weeks end so I can set another location OR notify this manager again.
Other options are Hooters down highway 290 a bit or theres another cool grill at jones road and 290 RIGHT next to harbor freight theres also coache but not patio LET ME KNOW guys!!!

I'm fine with the same place, and going to the same place each time helps people passing by know to keep watching for us. Also some place inside would certainly be nice, A/C chairs, etc... but I really like seeing everyone's Jeeps. Remember this is the first time I've seen other built Jeeps up close, other than my own. Just my thoughts, I'm happy to go with that the group wants to do.

Well in the same area there is a bar/dinner that other clubs meet at because they have a fenced off area that we can drive upto and park, go inside and get a brewsky then come back out and talk about our jeeps at the jeeps. They own the property so you can drink out in the parking lot area which is grass and gravel. COR still does or used to hold there meetings there. but it is 3 miles further north.

I'll checkout some location on 290 and 529 and the 6. There has to be something that will suit our needs.

But I agree with mudder keeping it in the same spot will help us be noticed by other XJ owners that are not on the websites.

Thats just ASKING for police attention... you know if you even have the keys in the ignition while you have a beer in hand they can legally bust you... think about it we are in and out of the jeeps numerous times in the evening of the meet and greets Id be REALLY leary of that

Well I have been to a bunch of meetings there and it has never been an issue and never seen one cop. And for the dui thing it has to be on public property and this is private property they cannot bust you in your driveway cause it is private property. Even at spring creek off road park you could drink and drive because it was private property and I drove right by to cops on 4wheelers and took a drink and they could not do anything. Trust me it is cool and safe.

But like I said I want a local that is good for everyone to meetup at and then keep it there. I mean come on its once a month so bring your happy arsenic out to a meeting!

Same location. My post was about a separate meet and greet, not this one that is really for the more North Houston people.

I dont know if there are plans yet but i have a some property that is a horse boarding facility like 5 minutes from the sonic we have been meeting at. We cant go wheeling out in the pastures or arena or anything like that but plenty of parking. thought we could have a barbecue out there if anyones down instead of sonic. We have had a few barbecues out there for our cowboy church next door and its pretty fun. If any one is interested let me know so we can set things up if needed..

That's true, plus you would have to find a parking spot that will accommodate rig trailer and tow rig and that might be hard to do at Sonic. Unless you parked it in the lowes Plot and drove the rig over to sonic, your technically not on the street so you wont be breaking the law....

I figured that would happen. So no meeting next weekend I take it? or do we have an alternate location set already?

Kinda hard standing around in the p-lot that long, at least for me and my knees and hips....

Not sure Sonic would like that much, but we could always meet at 4wheel parts at 6 then roll down to sonic. :thumbsup:

The only thing worse than having a job, is NOT having a job. They'll be other opportunities, plus we'll have pictures. And post more often! :rotfl2: :patriot:

Hey I'm getting stuff loaded up to leave and go to the meet. I'm not going to bring the laptop. To gather the information we need I need the Jeep moving at about 60 to 70 mph for a mile or two. I really don't want to leave the meet to collect data, so the best thing will be for us to schedule a separate time.

Sorry couldn't make it guys. between trying to go on vacation here soon and the girlfriends mom going into the hospital for some stomach infection, the weekend became smaller and smaller. :smiley-gen165: Maybe next time, though.

Cool pics. :thumbsup:Looks like y'all had fun. :)
