Help me plan a trip

Ok, here is the deal: A few friends (3?)and I are trying to make it down to Texas for some riding before the end of March. We don't have a ton of money, but we have all the equipment we need, and enough to pay for gas there and back, as well as gas to ride.

A couple of things we are considering:

-Sleeping in the back of a Jeep/ maybe inflatable tent.
-Living off of water, PB&J, and beer (Dependant on funds)
-Shredding the gnar somewhere

So here is where we need help...I have no idea where to start looking for places to ride, and people to ride with. I guess the failsafe option is just to go to TSR, but boat riding is more what we are looking for, and we don't know ANYONE in Texas. Would anyone be willing to:

#1: clue me in on the best riding spots in texas
#2: possibly hook some midwesterners up with a pull?

please...the weather here sucks so bad!

Hmm, theres a lot of places down here. Are you looking at places near Austin. Lake Mcqueeny is a nice lake.

Well, we live in KC, so as far as where in texas, we are looking for somewhere closer to us, and warm.

Other than that, no preference

ill get back to ya when i have more time! ive got a bunch of info for u and texas spots.

If you want to venture down to college station, y'all can sleep on the couches in my apartment, and ride with our team on Lake Bryan!! If you're here on the weekend we'll throw a party or something. just throwing it out there, but we've got butter almost all the time, and wouldn't mind taking y'all out on the boat if you pitch a few bucks for gas!! We usually only ask for 5 bucks a sesh!

hey Garret when is your spring break? are guys taking a boat? a few of my buddies are thinking about taking 2 boats down there and a winch. We went down to austin last spring break and had a blast. We usually go to lake austin one day then hit up TSR a day or 2 and then hit up mcqueeny and then canyon lake. So let me know the dates and i can def hook u up with a pull if you wanna meet up and how many of your friends are going.

if you want more information my cell phone number is 7852491177. give me a hollar and i can let u know more info.

Jason,

I'll call you tomorrow, I just saw your post. It will probably be me, and two other guys, both from the MU Wake team. Sounds like a sweet trip too!

Josh, not sure if we are down for heading that far south, but I will def let you know, sounds like a great time. Thanks for the offer man!

Garrett,

Good choice coming down to Texas! I was there last week and had a 93 degree day on the water!

I have a place on Lake LBJ which is an hour from Austin. I also have arrangements with boat dealers and boat rental places so literally you just need your board shorts! They will bring the boat, boards, vests etc. right to my place. It's on the water, and has a boat dock and boat ramp on site!

please check out my website:

If my place isn't what you are looking for let me know some additional details and I may have friends with a place that fits your needs better.

Cheers,

Eddie

Eddie,

How much would all of that cost? Sounds fun, but we are trying to stay on a budget too...

93 Degrees! AH!

You can also check out www.dallaswakeboarding.com or www.gcwa.com and check with more people on those sites.

Last weekend it was about 70 outside and the water showed 55 degrees. But then it snowed the next day and has not gotten above 65 this week and is supposed to snow again this afternoon here in north Texas. If you want to stay closer to home, then head to DFW but it is cooler here. If you want warmer water, and air temps, head down to Austin/Houston area.

hey garret, quick question about a trip of my own. i'm from south central iowa and some friends i were planning a trip this summer but we were hoping to go somewhere in missouri or kansas that isn't heavily populated and where we could camp close to the water. or if you know of any good spots on the mississippi.
thanks and good luck with your trip
