room rate was something like $60-70 a night...I booked Fri-Mon (drive home Monday morning - try Orbitz.com or Priceline.com - you might get better prices for the same hotel) I was told it would be less than 1/2 hour to K-Rocks from the hotel...not bad.

Yeah, Brady's only like 15 minutes away. I stayed at that place last time, don't expect the internet to work, or to have a cell signal if you have sprint =)

!c

not sure what time we'll be headed up. It depends on whether the kiddos have any tests in school that afternoon. If they don't have tests, I'll be taking them out of school around noon. If they have any tests, we won't be leaving until after whatever class its in.

That is the Hotel I am staying at. I booked for Friday and Saturday night.

Who's goin on Memorial Day weekend outta H-Town? I just booked a room in Brady - it was a close as I could get (about 30 minutes). I also have to work and so does Joanny...we'd prob be ready to leave town after 5pm or so on Friday. Any late birds meeting up so we can all drive together??

Where did you book it? Looks as if the MrsG might make this one so I will most likely get a room. We shall see.

they may be closed before then

have you heard something?


Here's what their website says:

if you want to wheel at Katemcy before its closed, you need to do so on or before June 13-14, 2009.

they may be closed before then

since i can't make memorial day, i would like to go in june. if anyone wants to go with me, that would be cool! i need to see schedule before i can say 100%

Either weekend would work for me.

Memorial weekend works best for me because it's a 3 day weekend from work. I already took Friday off. So I can drive up Friday, have 2 full days of wheeling (Sat & Sun) and drive home Monday

Jessica ugly ass will be there.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on the Memorial Day weekend trip to Katemcy. They state that special rates apply because this is a 3 day weekend and you get 3 days of wheeling, they did not list the price but in looking at previous years the rate is about $100.00 per rig and $35.00 per passenger.

I did notice that there is one more open event June 13th & 14th, we are open to either one but I wnated to see what everyones thoughts were.

i bet the ramp would hold with minimal work.......leave the doors and top at home............there would be only 2-2.5k on the ramp at one time........by the time the rear axle got on the ramp the front axle would be in the trailer

I did a test run on it with the front wheels only and it was crushing the edges. It might work once or twice but I just don't feel comfortable about loading it up on a regular basis. I found a 7k ramp for $400 that is just the right size (the ramp is 94" and the gate is 87"). The doors and top will be off for sure.

I am going to have to take one of the fold down beds out so the heap will fit but there is still one more loft bed (queen) and a fold out twin/couch. We usually just use an air mattress and throw it on the floor. I used it for motorcycles in the past and 11 of us stayed in it. Got a little cozy and a whole lot funky after a while but it was manageable.

Here are the ramps:

I'm 99% sure I'll be there!

oh yea...............how many beds that thing got????????????

After a night of sleeping in the jeep and having my air mattress get a little hole (just small enough to go flat at about 3am! :conspiracy: ) I am going to figure out a way to get the heap into the toy hauler. I measured it and it will fit just fine (L/W) and it is made to haul a chitload of ATVs (5000+ CCC) just not all at once on the gate (only good for 2k) I sent a note to an outfit that makes custom aluminum ramps to see what it would take to get that thing in there..... I figure that if I put down some 2" wooden planks and center the load over the axles (triple) it should ride just fine. Hot shower-food-bed - nice place to take a dump and sat TV = no holding me back!!! (unless diesel goes out the f'n roof again)

We shall see!! The goal is to have it ready by Krocks!!!

Thats good I can't leave until late Friday either, I have to be in New Orleans that Friday at 11am...which will put me back in Houston around 5:30pm I will be ready to leave then....so if anyone wants to leave Houston at 5:30 let me know.

Thats gonna be a long day

I am there!!!

You guys gotta try and make this one - might be your last chance to run Krocks ever.

I just checked out their web site. I guess you were talking about the on-site cabins...nevermind
