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.

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

[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?

[finn's mom]

Kay, I just looked at the map, and I'm actually northwest of you. I don't know why I was thinking you'd be closer to the OK/TX border. Doesn't look like you're going to be too far from David's family, actually. I wonder if we could just meet there? Let me look into it...they have a huge yard and David's mom loves dogs like we do. Let me see how far it is from where you're going to be. I'm horrible with maps, so, I could be totally off.

[finn's mom]

Holy crap! That's only about 65 miles from Leesville, LA! WOW! That would so completely rock my socks off! Would you be interested? We could even all go to the Sabine River and hang out at their campsite...it's a little bit of a drive (maybe half an hour to 45 minutes from his parent's house) but it's worth it if you want your dogs to get wet. The water will be pretty cold, though it's a great place for the dogs to play. His parents yard would be completely fenced in, though, and they have probably an acre or maybe a little more. I'm brainstorming.

*I just edited the distance between Brookeland and Leesville*

[Kfamr]

I'll have to check with my dad (since he'll be doing the driving) but it sounds cool to me. I was looking for some place to let the dogs run off leash in Texas and I wasn't finding any offleash dog parks, so that would be perfect.

The Sabine river is closer to us than Leesville, though (closer is better in my dad's eyes.) What's the name of their campsite (is there a website?)

Kiara is up for anything water although I can say Moo would not be thrilled.
