MAY - Texas/New Mexico/Arizona meeting?

[Kfamr]

In May - Amy, Nebo, & Keva are coming down here (Florida.) They will then join us (my dad, Moo, Ki and I) in our road trip to Utah, where we will all stop and spend a few days in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.

I'm not sure exactly where we're stopping in each place but most likely it will be the Northern parts of each state. I'm sure it would be fine if we had to drive a few hours or so to meet up, although I'm sure my dad would prefer not to.

Here are the "plans" so far and the days we will be in those states..

May 8th -- TX
May 9th -- TX
May 10th -- Leave TX drive to NM
May 11th --New Mexico
May 12th --New Mexico
May 13th --Leave New Mexico - Drive to Northern Arizona
May 14th --AZ
May 15th --AZ
May 16th --Leave AZ to Utah

Anyone want to get together?

It depends on where in TX you're stopping off in. We're far north, close to OK border. Let me know.

[Uabassoon]

I'd like to meet up, do you know which route you will be taking through Az? I know you guys are planning on visiting the Grand Canyon, that's a bit far from me I think around 8 hours but if I know which interstate you guys are coming in from I'm sure we can find something that isn't too far out of the way for all of us.

I'm interested but, since I'm in the very SE corner of NM, it really depends on where you stop (and whether or not I can get off of work). It might be easier/closer to meet you in TX, too.

[finn's mom]

I'm in, if it's within four or five hours. I'm in northern Texas.

[Sirrahsim]

It'd be a lot of fun to meet up with some more PT'ers but by that time I'm going to be as big as the broad side of a barn so I am probably out I live in northern texas near Leslie (AdoreMyDogs) though so who knows I'll keep checking in

[ParNone]

thanks for the heads up on the thread, Kay!

The texas dates are during the week though and I'm working. So I'm not going to be able to make it. You guys take tons of pics so I can see what I missed though.

Par...

Okay, We have reservations in the following areas:

Brookeland, Texas from 5/7-5/10

Carlsbad, New Mexico from 5/10-5/13

Flagstaff, Arizona from 5/13-5/16

Provo, Utah from 5/16-5/21

Carlsbad is about an hour and a half from me. Are ya'll going to the caverns? They're pretty neat - have a kennel to board the pups, too. I HIGHLY recommend watching the bat flight - pretty neato! (Or at least it impressed me when I was a kid. )

I will see what I can come up with for the 11th and/or 12th. If possible I'll try and bring a critter (Sara and/or Maggie but oh how I wiiissshhhh ya'll could meet lil' Miss K'Cee).

Are ya'll staying on the river or ?

As a footnote, I'm in the process of *trying* to transfer to TX. I'll just have to play the meeting by ear but I hope, hope, HOPE to make it.

~~~EDITED TO FIX DATES:~~~
(Was looking at April not May! )

I hope to go to the caverns. I was looking at them online and it looks really neat.

We are staying at the Carlsbad KOA, which I'm not sure exactly if it's near a river. All I know is that it has a fenced in dog area and that's what sold me.

If you know of a dog park in your area, I'm sure the pups wouldn't mind the drive up towards you. OR, we can check with the campground if we're allowed visitors at the fenced in dog area.

I don't know where that's at either. Haha! Going to look it up... yeah, still not sure where that's at. lol Will have to ask Dad.

Sitting Bull Falls is pretty nifty - haven't been there in YEARS though. Also, there's a Living Desert (kinda like a zoo but with desert animals) that's pretty enjoyable or at least it was when I was a kid. lol

How fun! I sure hope I can make it!

I don't know of a dogpark anywhere near me, although there's a pretty big (mostly fenced - still wouldn't let the dogs off leash) park right across the street from my house.... In all seriousness, I wouldn't expect ya'll to drive anymore than what you have. I'm happy to make the drive to meet ya'll.

I hope you can come Tonya, I'd really like to meet you. I hope we can figure out a way to meet everyone else in those areas too!

[finn's mom]

I'd love to meet you during your stay in Texas, but Brookeland looks to be about 4 and a half hours from me...with all the travelling we've got planned for May, I'm not sure if I can do it. But, if my schedule at work allows it, I'm going to try!

[Kfamr]

Do you know of any dog parks in between us, Kari? We'd be willing to drive within 2-3 hours. Are you North or South of us?

I searched for a few hours yesterday looking for some doggie oriented things in that area and couldn't find anything!

[Kfamr]

I e-mailed the KOA today to see if they would allow visitors to our "doggie park" and exactly how big it is.

I'll let you know if I get a reply, if not, I'll call them tomorrow.
Is that something you'd be interested in, Tonya?
