>>  A couple of other possable routing plans:
>>d) I can talk my neighbor into dropping me off at the park and I hang out
>>with everyone and catching a ride back with Mike, Denice and PY whenever
>>they plan to head back? (its only 10 minutes extra if you take hwy 71)
>>e) If Derek does want to come out he may want to go the northern route on
>>1431 which goes right thru Kingsland?

>>>One final reminder and a request for RSVPs.
>>>
>>>Where:
>>>
>>>Enchanted Rock State Park (roughly 20 miles north of
>>>Fredericksburg, TX on RR 965)
>>>
>>>The total distance to Enchanted Rock is roughly 100 miles
>>>... 80 miles to Fredericksburg on US 290, then another 20
>>>miles north on RR 965.
>>>
>>>
>>>When:
>>>
>>>Sunday morning
>>>
>>>The park opens at 0800 hrs and remember that it IS the
>>>Memorial Day weekend.
>>>
>>>The intention is to leave Austin 0600 hrs in as few
>>>vehicles as possible.
>>>
>>>
>>>Cost:
>>>
>>>$6 entry fee per person charged at the ranger station.
>>>
>>>After the hike, we will be meeting for lunch at one of the
>>>eating establishments back in Fredericksburg.  Cost = ?
>>>
>>>
>>>The Plan (as I know it):
>>>
>>>Denise and I are driving PY out to the park.  Assuming that Brooks is
>>>still interested in this affair, I will drop PY and Denise off and
>>>head up to Kingsland to snag Brooks at 0800 hrs - 0830 hrs.
>>>
>>>If the park is closed upon our return from Kingsland ... probably
>>>1000 hrs? ... I will drop Brooks off at the gate and find a hole to
>>>crawl into for a few hours.
>>>
>>>If anyone is planning to be in that area anyway, feel free to take
>>>this opportunity to visit beautiful downtown Kingsland.  ;-)
>>>
>>>After the hike and, again, depending upon Brooks' plan, I can
>>>
>>>a) send Denise and PY into Fredericksburg with another vehicle and
>>>take Brooks back to Kingsland.
>>>
>>>b) participate in the lunch with the crew and then take Brooks back
>>>to Kingsland.
>>>
>>>c) God only knows....
>>>
>>>
>>>Carpooling:
>>>
>>>Is anyone else seriously considering making the trip?  If so, speak
>>>up now.
>>>
>>>Derek is interesting in the tip and carpooling.  We may be able to
>>>get Derek into Justin's (Austin Outrigger Canoe Club) truck.
>>>
>>>
>>>What to bring:
>>>
>>>Personal water supply (Camelback might be a great idea).
>>>
>>>Something to snack upon, especially, if you suffer blood sugar
>>>issues.
>>>
>>>Top cover for those bald spots, gentlemen.
>>>
>>>Sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection).
>>>
>>>A decent pair of footwear for rock climbing.  I prefer a pair of
>>>cross-training shoes with not-much-wear on the soles over a pair of
>>>hiking boots.
>>>
>>>-- 
>>>
>>>All the best....
>>>
>>>Mike
