That is funny. Not doing that again. That got really close to costing me some money.
I'll know more this evening.
From what I know the baja track will be open, not sure about what else. Also Baja Racing of Texas will have 5 rigs out there so it should be pretty cool and there is plenty of room in the lodge which cost's $25 per person per night. Should be an awesome time. Here is a link to the lodge: http://thetexanaranch.com/Texana/Lodging.html
As of right now I guess I'm the only one taking a vehicle and Sam and Tommy are Riding?
Shaggy are you coming out? do you want a place to sleep?
I'm going to my beach house instead. If I could come next month I probably would.
Awesome trip and awesome people, ill do a full write up with pictures and videos when we get back.
Tommy and I went out to the Texana Ranch to work out the recovery details with Chris and Greg from Baja Racing Texas (http://www.bajaracingtexas.com/) and what an awesome trip this turned out to be. The Texana ranch and BRT are definitely bringing off-roading, not just racing, to a new level in Texas. Gramps and Carl, the ranch owners, have made a paradise for all types of off-roading out there, Matt, the ranch foreman, does a great job at keeping the hunting side of the ranch and off-roading side operating smoothly and the guys with BRT definitively know how to promote racing. I'll be starting a new thread with new recovery and race info soon.
We had a sweet stay in the 15 person hunting lodge which was lacking nothing as far as comforts go. The Ross Creek Trail riders have a killer headquarters set-up with about 60 RV hook-ups and a awesome dining area which included an in-ground swimming pool. Here is an early morning shot from the lodge:

We started off Saturday with a tour of the ranch that quickly turned into us chasing the pro-truck in the 4 seater razer. I was thoroughly impressed with how fast a razer with 4 people and Carl's driving the blue truck was.

In the Razer
We spent the rest of the trip either riding around in the Dodge or some type of UTV and finished off every night with great food, cool people and plenty of cold beer. :gigem:
