Direction to the bashing place coming from San Antonio:

Take I-10 East towards Houston, exit Mason Road (after Grand Parkway). If you see Fry Road, you went too far! Turn left under I-10 onto Mason Road going north. Take the first right into the church parking lot. Driving towards the southeast corner of the parking lot and follow the dirt road along the ditch towards the trees and sandhills. There you have it! :resp:

 

[Twinkle00star]

Ok, after seeing those pics I'm stoked. Glad I have paddles. Your right Twink it's not going to be easy to shoot. I Like the long straights and all the different types of jumps. I'm just gonna drive up and over the hills and back down the hills, hehe. I know a baja can fly.

Well, I am actually a little worried 🙁 I have never been there and don't know what to expect... I wouldn't even know where to stand to avoid a bunch of flying RC trucks 🙁 :duh::resp:

okay 🙂 🙂

 

[Twinkle00star]

Rule one is everyone watches out for the camera person. I need the sun behind me in order to shoot w/o whiteouts. It'll be awesome. Need a group pic, that's a must

I like that rule 🙂 :resp:

 

[whipnet]

Yeah, my wifey will be out there with her gear, tripod and all that.

We always get a group shot Hop. This will be one of the biggest.

[Bad67bird]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a group shot,to put faces with the names cool

 

[Twinkle00star]

Well you didn't tell me where it was. You know in Houston there can be 17 churches in a 2 mile radius. lol

Well, I posted it the location 🙂 😛 🙂

 

[NiteRida]

CO, Nick,

Is there a "target" time on Saturday you are planning on getting there? Just trying to plan our leave time, which dictates the wake-up and pack time....

I usually shoot for noon, but I could probably be out there a little earlier.
