Beach Trip

We are getting excited, we are bringing the BBQ pit so if anyone needs to borrow it you are welcome, I think we will cook something either Friday or Sat night, I would like to eat out at least one night. There are three restaurants in Matagorda.

Here is a link to Matagorda's COC http://www.matagordachamber.com/index.html

You haven't noticed- we like things complicated in this forum Where's the fun in finding all info in the first post? Then you don't have to read all the subsequent posts, and miss out on all the fun.

I think there are 3 or 4 threads to read through for this trip. Probably more before its over.

Does anybody on this forum have a SWR meter I can borrow?
I don't think my CB is tuned in correctly. Hopefully someone that is going to the Beach trip.

yup- that's how mine is installed. Very easy and clean install

Well get crackin' and we might be able to take some time to install it for you while you're out and about. If you do a search in the JK section at JeepForum.com you'll find PLENTY of CB related stuff, but check out these two threads specifically: CB Model and Installation Preferences and Cobra 75 WXST install pics JK.

Personally I'd recommend this kit from Right Channel Radios. It has everything you'll need except a drill for the mount, basically. And if you pull into a garage or other low-ceiling space on a regular basis, you'll want to double-check how long your antenna can be from whichever mount you go with.

EDIT: Not trying to hijack the thread. Others with JK's here (I've got a TJ) may have more advice. Might be worth starting a separate thread. Having a CB is a really good idea.

The rockrashes don't "do" mornings too well...... Or at least that is the
"werd on da skreet"

well of course! And the planned time is: whatever time you get to my house. So I'm sure it will be after 8 am, and before noon

How about 9am? =) We'll join in the caravan.

I haven't been to matagorda before, and there are two directions on the beach once you cross over the bridge.
Left, towards Galveston, and take a right towards Corpus Christi. Looking on the map, I assume we'll be taken the beach on the Corpus Christi side.
Correct?

I've only been there once- the road dead ends at the beach, and you can only go left/north (towards galveston) because the Colorado River blocks the south.... http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=h&lat=28.598141&lon=-95.977436&zoom=17&q1=matagorda%252C%2520tx

You are bizarre!

Man, I would help you with the CB. But damn its hot out there. I can last about 5 minutes in this heat (just long enough to smoke a cig) before I start to melt.

We'll be headed down early Friday morning.

But I don't think you'll have trouble finding us. Just drive down to Matagorda beach, then head down the beach. Eventually you will find a big group of jeeps hanging out. Most likely a big pirate flag flying next to them. There's no way you'll miss this bunch of hooligans!

You've got a couple of weeks before the trip, so why not get one and install it before then?

Because I am not allowed to talk to people I don't know. The internet is the devil. Oh btw everyone from S.A. was in my kindergarden class and everyone from Houston I know from work.

Doh. Didn't mean to leave out all my friends on the chess team in High School that now live in Waco. pass it on. mum's the word.

I don't have a CB so I hope I can find you guys.

You've got a couple of weeks before the trip, so why not get one and install it before then? I'm sure one of the Houston people would willing to help you out of you're not sure.

The SA group is planning on meeting just outside 1604/I10 at 9AM.
That would put us at El Campo around 11.30-ish. It'll be 12:30-1PM when we leave the BBQ place.

I am going. But I don't know exactly when I will leave. I am going to try and leave on Friday afternoon but it could also be early Saturday morning. I don't have a CB so I hope I can find you guys. Are there any Houston area convoys leaving Friday or Saturday?

The last I read about the S.A. convoy was 7AM. That would put them on my side of town around 10-11AM Friday which is earlier that I plan to leave.

Alrighty... booked at the Fisherman's motel

Dutchboy- Mikeska's BBQ is awesome. You won't regret that for lunch. But be aware that they lunch line is usually pretty long.

And while you are there... grab a loaf of his pineapple bread!!! I grabbed a loaf of the banana nut bread to take on a trip to Corpus and Mr. Mikeska asked if I had tried the pineapple - I politely told him that I was a big fan of the banana nut bread and that I only had enough money for one loaf.... he gave me the pineapple loaf to try and now I am stuck on both - anytime I go south or west I have to stop and get some.

That place kicks azz!

Sounds great. There is a BBQ place in El Campo where we can have lunch.

Last night at the fight we were talking about meeting at Trainer Hale Rd & IH10 about 9-9:30am on Friday. Would that work for everyone?

I can make that work
