I am not sure of all of the details. It looks like TomTBone is organizing. Maybe he can fill us in on the details. His post says they are leaving Galveston around noon on Friday. Where at in Galveston are they meeting to leave from? We are still working on our schedule to try and get the weekend off.

Hey Tom James here I think we met at PAPPAS during Baja bash last weekend. We are with TOPPS Clear Lake and made the run last april. I did not store the run in our GPS but going through the big ditch its a no brainer. Is that how you guys are wanting to run or go offshore?
Where are you guys staying at?
Also the trucks and trailers can be left under the Kemah bridge. We have left our truck there overnight alot and no problems. I have been told that Kemah police cruise the parking lot regularly

Tom. Call Ken Volbrecht, the manager at Endeavor Marine (the big dry storage area behind West Marine on Nasa Rd 1 next to Marine Max). He's in TOPPS and has a large parking lot where trailers are kept for Poker Run. He also has good docks for loading folks in to boat after putting boats in to water. Should be safer than Galveston or Kemah. Just my 2 cents. Tommy
ps: James - it is not a "no brainer" on the return trip with Guy navigating (LOL)!!!!!

I was'nt worried. I did'nt think Guy was going on this trip.
He's not planning on going is he.

I called Ken Volbreck at Endeavor and we can park trucks and trailers there. We just have to park in a certain spot. But it's on the other side of the lake from the best ramp.
We called La Bargue tonight and they have no rooms for Fri night and limited for Sat night. So whats the scoop for rooms.
Tom you can call me at 832-236-6690.

James, Where we got fuel on our run at Bowtie Marina in Contraband Bayou, if you keep going past the marina, there is a hotel and Bennigans with docking in a no wake zone. It's not L'Auberge quality, but I hear it's ok. Don't remember the name, but Bowtie would know at 337-478-0130. T
