Alright... there were six people in total quoted by TR (including himself) that wanted to run this, and there are six votes. Since voting hasn't occured in a while, I will assume that we are done. Sundays have the lead, and if that is going to be an indication then I am going to make some concrete plans. Here's how it works. Thos same six that voted (myself included) will vote on the following poll: Those are the only sundays in January. It will happen in January as stated in the first post of this thread. I go for NEXT Sunday (not this sunday, as that will give even the "I need to schedule time off" people time. Ray

Those dates are all Saturdays.  
I'll vote for the "15th" (really the 16th), but so far I'm free for every Sunday this month and can make sure I stay free. Then the only thing we'll have to watch for is the weather and have a rain date.

Where's Kokokameleon? He should definitely go and stop the "disband SCCEG" stuff.

Looks like Sunday the 16th is the day. The tentative plan is this: Start off in new Braunfels and rip up Hwy 46 to Spring Branch (there is a cool little FM Rd. off 46 to Spring Branch but I'll have to look up the #). Go up Hwy 281 a couple of miles and come back RR32 through Devils Back Bone to San Marcos. There is a picnic area in the middle of the BB we could stop at for some pics. Then end up at Grins for refreshments in San Marcos.  Opine?

Sounds good to me. I'm happier knowing that I'm doing this before I get my front bumper repainted and new headlights. Bring on the bugs.

If you are talking about FM311 (angles off to the right, crosses a light, and then winds through an out-woods road, crosses a small bridge, then comes in on 281 at a gas station), then its a nice view too.
Sounds like a plan to me.. I am in. (but you knew that..)
Driving times are as follows:
Leg 1:
New Braunfels (location TBD) to Spring Branch
Total Est. Time: 48 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 24.31 miles
Stop in Spring Branch for restrooms, gas, snacks or drinks.
Leg 2:
Spring Branch to Fischer, Tx
Total Est. Time: 32 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 29.96 miles
Leg 3:
Fischer, TX through "The Devil's Backbone" to San Marcos, Tx
Total Est. Time: 42 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 22.31 miles
TOTAL TRIP DISTANCE: 76.58 miles
TOTAL TIME: 2 hours, 3 minutes, plus photos.
We are looking at roughly 35 minutes, or so for photos, so right at 3 hours with gas stops in SB and photos.
Grins is a good place to be, and depending on the drive home some have ahead of them (one hour here..) I should leave by 8:30-ish or 9..
Let's bank a couple of hours at Grins, JUST IN CASE we enjoy this whole "meet" thing (Its new to SC, so let's play it safe.. lol)
5 hours to be spent in all... from 9 is 4 or earlier leaving from NB.
Anyone have anything terribly wrong with this projected plan?
EDIT: I have room for one or a couple at our place for those coming from further away than myself or Texas Realtor. (I don't know what kind of spare room he has..
It's a twin bed, in a bedroom (Sister's room when she isn't out of town.. and if all else fails I have a pull out couch in the living room, that is a queen.)
Anyone else have room to spare?

Sounds good to me. I already let my wife know, but I haven't decided if she's going yet. Actually, if we can get a sitter for my little rugrat, she'll come along. Work shouldn't be a problem and I'll let them know on Monday not to schedule me for that Sunday.
What time are we trying to get started?
PS: If there is anyone who has a problem with the date, speak up. I don't want to pass up on OT if this doesn't happen on the 16th.

I think the earlier we get it started in the day (instead of 4-ish like I stated) the better it would be for those coming from N. of Dallas or Houston, etc..
Maybe 12:00 or so?
ALL we need is to finalize this deal with an acceptance of the date, and an "I'm in"...
