With two people reporting that they told that were they could not buggy on east beach I am wondering if single line kites will be allowed. It is a sad day to think that east beach is off limits to kites since we have been going there for years now. I do know that there has never been a problem going and flying any type of kite at slp. It woud be a major pain to have everything set up at east beach on turkey day and then being told no kites allowed. My thoughts are move the event to slp and have no worries for the event. Just my thoughts. Please post your thoughts and concerns so we can try and address them.

List it and your location preference. (East Beach or SLP) It's a feast no matter what, but when everyone who attends wants to add... it's even better.

So if I cook three items on the beach I get at least three votes, right?
I vote SLP, SLP and uh... SLP. That should just about do it.

BTW for you peeps that like the comfort of a hotel, it takes almost exactly the same amount of time to get to SLP from the Super-8 in Galveston as it does to get to East Beast, about 20 min either way.

There are some nice hotels in Freeport also.

We've always gone to slp for the pre-event so why not make that our main event also. We usually go there for buggying these days anyways. We've been hassled by the rangers at east beach already so I now do prefer slp

I'll be there as well. SLP sounds fine to me.

I will be bringing the motor home hope the area is hard packed and I can drive to get to the site you want to set up the festivities.

I think its fine once you get in, but the trail from the road to the beach is a bit rough (uneven). I always feel like my buggy will fell off the rack behind my car every time I drove on that trail, but it never did. Also, there are some soft sand at the entrance that you need to speed through(at least in summer), but its pretty much hard packed after that.
