You're in Penney! Y'all plus Doc & Jon raise the preliminary headcount to ~36.

Attention early arrivers and folks traveling in from the North: Oldtimer, Tahobiker and I plan to meet for brunch at the cafe' at Huxley Bay Marina about 9:30ish on Friday May 2nd, which is located about 35 Farm-to-Market Road miles North of Holly Park at 13200 FM 2694, Shelbyville, TX - but note, the cafe' is not near Shelbyville at all, but rather at at the East end of the Huxley community on ... Huxley Bay 😉 ... at the dead-end of FM 2694.

Please join us if you are in the area.

Had a great time at the ETM - we came home with an extra family member, the little black dog running around the campground - seems to be fitting in just fine with our lab.... forgot - puppy's name is Toledo

Super good time. I came home full of tamales. Congratulations on new family member. Avanell talked to Judy today. LLoyd feeling better. J.R.

I am feeling a lot better, not 100% but a lot better than I was. Even not feeling well, we still had a good time. Thank you everyone that helped and offered help, really appreciate it.

Sure glad you're feeling better and made it home safely. You're a determined fellow - I would have preferred you take an extra day to regain some strength.

 I suspect Paula had a big influence on bringing Toledo home - he followed her around the campground all weekend.  Toledo seems to be of good temperment, not fussing with people, dogs or vehicles.  By Sunday morning he & Paula were big friends:

Yep, we had a good time for sure. Weather was ideal, the group rides went smooth, the food was great and the fellowship even better. Lots of stories were exchanged and laughter was heard throughout the campground. Enough talk, let's show some pics.

About a dozen of us met up at the recently re-opened restaurant at Huxley Bay Marina on Friday morning. Jena & I were the first to arrive - checking to see if the restaurant truly was open for business:

The group from the campground arrived shortly thereafter, led by Avenell on her scooter rig - she assured me she rode slow enough for the gang to stay with her :

Followed by J.R.  on the Texas Shark:

And Judy on her gorgeous Ural Retro:

And George on his Ural - Happy, Benji & Buddy are all hunkered down in the sidecar for the ride, follow closely by Lloyd & Judy on their well-traveled Goldwing/Hannigan rig:

Then arrived James on the Cajun Queen (that's Oldtimer sneaking in behind 'em in the motorhome):

Trailed by George & Aurora on their widely recognized Triumph Union Jack'ed rig:

We all enjoyed a good brunch:

After lunch James, Aurora, George & I took the short-cut back to camp along the gravel roads thru the Sabine National Forest:
