I received word that the campground is due to open on September 5th, it has been closed due to flooding in the area. Hopefully it will dry out in time. I will keep you updated to any progress as it is received. Paul | ||

After the dust settled in the corral last night we have several choices to choose from. Darrin and Sonnie are checking on one today. We will make a decision today and post it. Please remember to cancel your reservation at Hickory Creek as soon as possible. This closure is very unusual here in Texas, as we normally don't receive so much rain. At least the farmers are happy, I sure wasn't. The dates will stay the same! September 13-16, 2007. Paul | ||

TBR 2007 Busnuts, First, a HUGE "Thank You" to Sonnie Gray for doing extra legwork to track down a new site on such short notice! With that said, the TBR 2007 will take place at the Eisenhower State Park on Lake Texoma close to Denison, TX! Sonnie helped us secure the Cedar Hollow Group camping area at a fee of $15/nt with no in/out fees (normally $3/day per person). These campsites have 30amp Elec & Water. No sewage at the sites, but there are dump stations in the park. We will also have free use of the pavilion in the group area (normally $50/day) which includes built-in grills for doing a little BBQ. To eliminate mass confusion trying to figure out the online or phone reservation system....Sonnie has graciously booked and paid for the Cedar Hollow Group area. We have space for up to 37 buses/RV's in the group area (at last count we were expecting 25-30 buses ). So no need to make reservations through the park system, but please confirm with Paul & I via this board or email that you will be attending the TBR 2007 on Sept 13-16. Now Sonnie is a super nice guy , but he would like to be reimbursed.....so please be prepared to pay Sonnie your $45 fee ($15/nt x 3) when you arrive at the park. Otherwise we may find out what "Don't Mess With Texas " really means!!! Here is the park address & directions: Eisenhower State Park 50 Park Rd 20 Denison TX 75020-4878 From Dallas: Take Hwy 75 North to Denison. Continue on Hwy 75 for 5 miles. Take Texas Hwy 91(exit 72) to FM 1310, turn West for 2 miles to the park. Despite the last minute switch-a-roo we are very excited about getting as many fellow Busnuts together as possible for the Texas Bus Roundup 2007! I have attached an updated park map specifying the Cedar Hollow Group area. Let me know if you have any questions/concerns that I can help you with and we will see y'all soon! Darrin A big Thanks to Darrin and Sonnie for taking care of this last minute switch-a-roo! Paul | ||

Paul, Darrin & Sonnie: I am real happy your rally will still be held and this may all have happened for a reason we will never understand. Just think, you could have all arrived and a huge rain storm come and flooded you all out in at the very begining of your rally. So you have been blessed and with involvement from my good friend Sonnie & Darrin you will still have a great time. I wish we could come, with the amount of buses expected at your first rally your hands will be full next year, take notes, (Pictures) of coarse and if I can help in any way up here in SC let me know. Good luck with the weather and the complete rally, just wait till you meet Sonnie's wife Patty, and see his bus as well as visit with him. Your "gonna" have a great time and I am envious for sure. You will see that problem has brought you all closer together to be sure you do have your rally now and always in the future no matter what problems arise. Good luck again and have fun!! Gary | ||
