Houston Group/Ike

[Ed Csoltko]

Okay guys and gals (from the Houston area), what's happening? How's everyone doing? Haven't heard a lot from the Houston Cobra Gang. I hope you are all doing well since Ike. Let us know what's going on down there in your area.

Ed,

We have slowly but steadily improved here in Houston. Some on the Houston Cobra Club yahoo site had a bet going as to who would be the last to recieve power again. I think Bill won but it was close and alot of us spent between 1 - 2 weeks with out power and (OH MY GOSH) NO CABLE T.V.. I may have missed that the most, no speed TV or anything.
We are still planning on our October meet in Conroe. Mark Bishop is in charge of all the arrangements and this is his latest info to all us.
How about a couple of you from Austin joining in for some fun!! Dates are Oct. 10-12th.

All,

Everything is still on for October. I have a call into Bob out at the KOA to get an update the status out there for that week. Several of the power companies have been staying out there while making the repairs to that end of the county. I believe most of that work is wrapping up so I don’t think they will be there during our weekend.

I will put together the final schedule this week and get it posted. Right now we need to get a head count for dinner Friday night, breakfast Saturday morning, lunch in College Station Saturday afternoon, and dinner at the lake Saturday night. This way we can prepare the folks before we descend on them.

For those looking for lodging there is a Super 8 about 3.5 miles east, and Best Western about 6 miles east of the KOA. There won’t be any problem leaving trailers at the KOA as parking at these two is limited. I will keep everyone posted if I here of anything opening up at the KOA.

I will be working on a map of the drive for Saturday and post it as soon as it is ready.
