The Fall 2022 Texas Sidecar Muster, hosted by the La-Tex contingent of the United Sidecar Association and the TURD's, is scheduled for October 7-9 at Crockett Family Resort on Houston County Lake located at 75 Dogwood Lane West,  Crockett, Texas, ±9 road miles Northwest of Crockett (as measured from Loop 304) or ±16½ road miles Southwest of downtown Grapeland.  The facility has a couple of dozen cabins and lots of shady RV and tent spots.  There is also a small store with a few supplies and a little cafe' area with pizza and wings.  General info can be found here:  https://www.crockettresort.com/ and pics here: https://www.crockettresort.com/scenic-gallery   Houston County Lake appears to be a great place to fish and kayak.  Non-Ethanol fuel is available at store.

The First Methodist Church of Grapeland has graciously offered to host a breakfast for us at 8:30 am on Saturday, October 8th, upon a donation basis.   If you have not already done so, please let Kent or I know you plan to come so we  can provide the church a reasonably accurate head count a couple weeks in advance.

We will depart from Crockett Family Resort by 8:00am to ride the 18 miles to breakfast in Grapeland.  Let's plan to take a group photo  in front of the church building before we depart for the Caddo Mounds.

The church is operating on donations only. Be free with your gifts. If they charged a  fee, they had to pay a bunch of taxes. No tax on donations. They will be ready to serve at 8;45.

The forecast for the upcoming weekend is great, with ±60° in the morning and high 80°'s in the afternoon, but, with no rain the past few weeks, it is very dry in our region, and there is a Burn Ban in effect for Houston County.

Unfortunately Aurora and I will not be able to attend. We had reserved cabin E and it is now available. If anyone needs a place to stay, please contact the resort.
