Longs Ranch

I am planning to make this one still

I'm glad someone answered the rain question. I would hate to be sleeping in the back end of the Jeep with no top and a tremendous rain came through. that shit would suck..

Still not sure if it will rain. Been reading up on several weather websites, and some just have it cloudy.
We'll see.

I have been also checking the weather. Looks like its only 20% chance of rain. I can deal with 20% chance and camping.

Is it FRIDAY yet!?? Can’t wait!

Yep, I know what you mean. I have Wednesday thru Friday off. Hopefully it won't rain.....

I'm ready too!! I also saw the reduction in rain percentage

What time are we meeting at Long's Ranch?
This will give me a better idea of when to leave San Antonio.
Doesn't sound like there will be a convoy heading in that direction.

I plan to be leaving Corpus Christi on Friday around noon. Tyler (Tvernon) will be caravanning with me up there. It's a 4 hour drive for us so I plan to be there around 4:00-4:30pm.
Depending on when the SA group plans to head up on Friday we can meet somewhere on the way if you all like.

I'm leaving the house on Saturday morning. I'll try and be there around 8-830.

I'm thinking about heading over after work Friday night and having Kassi meet me there when SHE gets off work... If that goes according to plan I should get there around 7

Not sure if I'll head up Fri night or Sat morning yet.

But if u don't come up friday night who will I stumble around drunk with?

I have been back and forward regarding if I get a hotel or camp. I think I am set on camping. Now since it looks like I am going to be the first one there and this would be my first time at Longs my question is: where do I set camp? Do you guys have a prefer spot?

Also did we contact them? Do we have a group rate or it’s the $20 fee plus $5 passenger? $5 camping?

There is a spot by the river that's real nice.

It looks like I will not make this trip.

I second this. Would be a great spot for camping.

I was asking how to get to that camping spot near the river that everyone is recommending. I know how to get to the park entrance.

I emailed them like 3 weeks ago about the facility (wanted to know if the had bathrooms, etc) I never got anything back. For what I found online, Joe the owner is not tech savvy and usually doesn’t respond emails or it takes him a very long time. You are better of calling him.

How much space is at the spot near the river? I'm towing and I believe others might be also. How about in the clearing by the house...near the john for the ladies.

I think there is room near the river to park trailers.

IIRC, you just keep going straight on the entrance road. You'll pass a little rock quarry on your right, and if you drive too far you've gone off into the river itself

Got it!

Make sure wherever you stop to camp that there is enough room for the people towing their rigs to park and camp. I want to camp near my truck as I don't want to take all my things out of it and have to move them.
