Jroden5446 got the same problem going on but because I am from belgium I need to be early with planning the flight.( I think probally over 10 hours flight) But I will get there !!! Need to meet all the dogs of the yard <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Maybe somebody lives close with a big yard so I can camp for keeping costs low <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> LOL

Doubt it's in my future. Four little ones, a job, and a wife that need my attention, none of whom understand my endless fascination with sharp shiney things <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> They'll come around. My wife doesn't understand it, but she acknowledges it. I WILL make it!

There are several hotels very close to the galleria that have suite style rooms ( two separate rooms in one) I'm going to start calling around and see if rates are any cheaper than they show online. The Busse folk also get a block of rooms at the extended stay ( about 5 minutes away) and the rooms were only 69.99 a night, Amy usually announces that closer to Blade

sounds like you have a plan and I hope that I can join you.

I am going to try and make it too. Should be a great time. Road Trip? I can meet you in Longview...we can take I-20 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Maybe Adam can come up and join us too. There might be some other folks on the I-20 corridor also. Could get interesting <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> That does sound interesting. I have a buddy that is kinda from Longview. Time to start some planning.

Sooo...I'm all about improving "price / performance" ratio, not only in knives. Without sounding like a cheap bastid...which, I am...does anyone ever camp out for Blade? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I have a tent and a cot <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Or...do any Bussekin fans ever group up on rooms. I'll sleep on the floor with my sleeping bag if it means I can buy more steel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Good idea.

Only a 15 hour drive from Austin...according to Google. I also see a pretty nice looking greenbelt nearby (part of the Morgan Falls reservoir) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> About 3 1/2 hrs to Longview for me. How far is Austin to Longview?

I'd be up for renting a suite or something similar for the weekend with several other Dogs. It sure would help keep costs down.... That is another great idea, besides safety is in packs!

Shoot, I'll drive! Or maybe a convoy, whatever's clever. Sounds like a good plan to me.

The more I know earlier, the easier it will be to save for the trip.

How much do the hotel rooms down there go for?
