AluminumPride Somerville TX Dec 7-10

[kevinkatz]

AluminumPride is a great group of people in Texas. Check us out on Facebook at AluminumPride and at AluminumPride.com

I have found a place for the December rally that I believe offers something for everyone. Here are the details:

Dates: December 7/8 - 10 Somerville lake

Here is a link to the Recreation.gov site:

https://www.recreation.gov/camping/y...O&parkId=71510


Corps of Engineers Park (senior pass accepted)
Location: Somerville Lake (near Somerville, TX)
CG: Yegua Creek (pronounced Yay-wah)
Sites: I suggest sites 14-41 as these sites appear to be in their own loop (I just reserved site 19 for Cynthia and me).
Electric/Water available

Note that this camp ground is still closed until the end of October but I have been assured that it will be reopened on November 1.

This is a 3+/- hour trip for those of us in the hill country and should be a little less for others. We are trying to be accommodating to as many folks as possible.

Things to do in the area include Blue Bell Creamery in Brenham, antique shopping in Round Top and the Bush Presidential library in College Station. If you are able to come please let me know your site # and date of arrival for planning purposes.

More to come…

Keep me posted. Will be in the area around then. Any rally prices on spots?

Would love you to join us. Prices are listed on the parks website. It is a Corp of engineers park so a senior parks pass works. Don’t know your age so please don’t be offended [emoji16]

Friday Evening
Chanukah food: on Friday night Melissa and Kevin will have chicken soup with matzoh balls for dinner. Everyone always loves that. There will also be chopped liver (think pate). Not everyone loves that!
You can bring appetizers if the above doesn’t intrigue you.

Bring your own drinks

Saturday December 9

Breakfast: another Chanukah tradition, Cynthia and Steve will be providing latkes (think potato pancakes). Bring additional food if you want.

Things to do:
1) In the afternoon we are planning on visiting Saddlehorn Winery in Burton about 20 minutes away. We could carpool.
2) Visit Round Top, antiques galore, cool little town
3) Visit College Station, Bush Presidential Library
4) Visit Brenham
5) Hang out and do nothing!
6) Hike and bike




Saturday Evening

Happy hour and general pot luck and grill fest on the pit. Bring something to share and meat of your own to grill. Ric is making homemade hot chocolate to have around the fire!

Patti and Harry are working on an ice cream surprise for sometime during the rally since we are in BlueBell country.

A few side notes:
1) Steve may be going to Lake Somerville State Park for a mountain bike ride on Friday, anyone welcome to come along
2) From our local residents Patti and Harry: There is a place for really good burgers right down the road, maybe 4-5 miles. The place is a store with a kitchen, has a few tables inside and more outside. We usually get burgers to go, and they are very good! They are our favorite burgers of all!!
3) Also, we go to Somerville a lot to a Mexican Restaurant, Las Fuentes. Good food, and really good margaritas! It is probably less than 10 miles down the road from Yegua Park.


Sunday December 10
Well unfortunately it will be time to go home!

Please let Steve know that you are coming if you haven’t done that yet. 409 789 5641 or snussenblatt@gmail.com

Any other ideas or activities are welcomed.
