June San Marcos Trip - Dallas Ft Worth Aquatic Plant Club

Tex Gal · 03-15-2012, 02:14 PM

We are in the throws of nailing down the San Marcos trip. We will be going with the Houston club. We decided on June. It's warm enough to get into a Spring fed river and school is out so that we can have it become a family trip time as well. We traditionally do a 3rd weekend meeting but that weekend is Father's day. That leaves the weekend of the 9/10th or the weekend of the 24/25. Do you all have a preference? Please vote in the poll.

We are going on a FIELD TRIP!!! We have a field trip planned to the San Marcos River. We are meeting WITH the Houston Area Aquatic Plant Society. We will all meet at the San Marcos Aquarena Center at 11:00 am. That should give you time to get down there. If you are a late sleeper we will all be catching lunch around 12:30pm at the local Saltgrass Restaurant at 221 E SESSOMS DR. It's less than a mile from the aquarena and is on the river. We can even do some collecting there without even leaving the parking lot! Lunch is NOT provided by the club. You will have to pay for your own lunch. Make sure you bring your water gear. There are loads of plants if you'd like to do some natural wild collecting. That give everyone 2 chances to meet up with the group.

FINAL DECISION:
WHEN: Saturday, June 9th, 11 a.m at San Marcos Aquarena Center http://www.aquarena.txstate.edu/
WHO: Members and their families of DFWAPC & HAAPS
WHERE: San Marcos River.
WHAT: River exploration and wild collecting
HOW: Get yourself there!

You could make it a family camping get together for the weekend.

I've only had 7 people vote in this poll. Does that mean that only 7 people are interested in this trip? Since we have at least 30 at each meeting I don't know about proceeding if ONLY 7 people are interested.

If you are interested in doing a field trip to San Marcos, please vote in this poll. We need to gauge interest as well.

9 people have voted now, either weekend works for me. What are the plans for getting down there?

Hey guys, so I know I promised this a few meetings back; truth is I forgot....
Anyhow, the pdf document I promised that I'd post is too large of a file to add as an attachment on here.

If someone could email me the emails of the DFWAPC club members I'll gladly send it out. (Or if a office member will notify me of their email I'll send it to them to distribute; which may actually be better)

What it is, is a study of the aquatic plant species in the San Marcos River system, complete with maps, gps coords of locations, etc - all separated by species.
Its something that we should take full advantage of....

you couldn't open it in word and then upload it to a site that would host it and post it here... you could send it to mikeal, mike, or drinda and i bet they would post it.

who would ride with who, my car gets good mpg, but doesn't have ac unless i can find a compressor for cheap, or i might do ventage air on it.

I am waiting to hear which weekend the TCA Swap will be in June. I sent a message asking if they had picked a date. Hopefully I will hear from them soon.

Randall, is the pdf available on line? If so we could just post a link here.

stmarshall · 03-21-2012, 05:30 PM

I voted for the 23/24th weekend but, would like to know more about the trip. It looks like we all just hook up and share rides which is cool. My care's MPG is not real good but ok but it is comfortable, looks good and has some good music, mostly blues but some rock works also. Question, when we get there where do we stay, how much is it and stuff like that.

RandallW201 · 03-22-2012, 04:32 AM

I don't know if it is or not to be honest. I had somebody email it to me. I've yet to see anything like it online.
