EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: TX, Port Aransas - 10/6/2017 to 10/8/2017

Jason, Someone's breaking the rules! If an unlicensed private cart is not suppose to go out of the park on to the beach & a licensed rental cart is not supposed to come in... then how is there golf cart tire tracks worn in the boardwalk pictured on the parks website???

you don't have to screw with or wait for the ferry.

I would recommend coming up the beach from Mustang Island. It was a busy holiday weekend but we waited in line almost 2 hours for the ferry.

No sir I said that they will allow golf carts that are owned by the person renting the site. Their rules specifically say that rental carts are not allowed in the park. They also say that you can use your personally owned cart to come into and leave the pro via that board walk.

We stayed there for a week last winter and the point no rentals were allowed was emphasized upon check in.
Bob Sims winters there, he'll likely confirm.

Jason,

I think we're talkin bout a Catch 22...

https://www.topdeckgolfcarts.com/ar...each-resort/?gclid=CJzwi47l3NUCFRC5wAodZ6oEcg

The beach is considered a street in Port A and heavily patrolled by LEO, if you drive an unlicensed cart on the beach you'll probably get a ticket.

We aren't talking about the same thing. Reread my posts. I am talking about an owned versus a rented golf cart. The rv park wants proof of ownership of the cart you bring into the park. They could care less what happens on the beach.

Pioneer can make arrangements for golf carts that you can use in the park and on the beach. They can either make it for the entire rally group, or for individuals.

Personal carts can be used in the park, but they must be registered and there's a fee for that.

Any vehicle parked on the beach needs a beach sticker, unless you park down by the jetty which is gratis. You can drive the beach in any vehicle, but it must be licensed either by the state of Texas or (golf carts) by the city of Port Aransas. To get your golf cart licensed by Port A, you must have show street insurance, and have the proper "stuff", i.e. brake lights, seat belts, etc.

Hope that helps.

Been a little change to our plans. We will be arriving on Monday. Wednesday we will be AWOL as Connie has a chemo treatment scheduled for that day.

Re: EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: TX, Port Aransas - 10/6/2017 to 10/8/2017

[FONT=&quot]FYI, there is a caravan of 5 rigs (so far) leaving the North Texas rally in Tyler Monday, Oct. 2 and heading toward Port Aransas with a 2 night layover at the Jim Hogg COE Park on Lake Georgetown just north of Austin. At this point, we don’t have any plans for while we are at Jim Hogg, but there is a lot to do and see in the Austin/Georgetown area, so I am sure Heartlanders will find something to do.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]We will arrive at Jim Hogg Monday afternoon and leave and head to Port A Wednesday morning, the 4th. If you think you would like to travel with us, please “private message” me by Thursday afternoon, Aug. 24[SUP]th[/SUP] so I will know how many sites to reserve. They are 50 amp back in, water front or water view, no sewer, but a dump station is available. I will try and get them all together in a group. If you use your America the Beautiful Senior Pass, the rate will be $13.00 per night. If you do not have a pass, to get one at the $10.00 price, it needs to be ordered ASAP. The cost of a pass will increase to $80.00 on August 28[SUP]th[/SUP], so the 27[SUP]th[/SUP] is the last day to get the lower price. If you do not have a pass, here is a link for information on getting one. [/FONT][FONT=&quot] https://store.usgs.gov/senior-pass[/FONT]

Rally shirts have been ordered!

Cost to attendees will be $5.00 for sizes Small to XL and $7.00 for sizes 2XL and 3 XL. The club will cover the remaining cost.

Payment can be made to us either at the rally OR via Paypal by using my email (2psnapod1@gmail.com). If using Paypal, please make a note as to who the payment is from as it doesn't always come through in the transaction.

44 days until RALLY TIME!!

Hurricane Harvey

In light of Hurricane Harvey, I'm asking that y'all pray, cross your fingers, or do whatever works best for you...that we still have an RV Park in Aransas Pass to have our rally at in October!

We've put the t-shirt order on hold for a week until we know more about how Pioneer RV Resort makes it through the storm.

If, by chance, the park sustains too much damage we'll try and find another park in south Texas to accommodate everyone.

God Bless those in the south Texas area...stay safe and be well.

Re: EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: TX, Port Aransas - 10/6/2017 to 10/8/2017

Worst case, Lake Conroe KOA is pretty big and we've done several there. . . but still hoping Pioneer weathers this okay. When we used to fish at Port Mansfield, all the docks looked about the same age and weren't that old. We talked to the locals and were told that they had been getting wiped out every 10 or 20 years. Their attitude was " . . . its not if there will be a hurricane, its just when."

Re: EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: TX, Port Aransas - 10/6/2017 to 10/8/2017

There is nice park in Port Lavaca that may be large enough to accommodate us but they are also in the path of the storm. The entire Coastal Bend area will be affected, so we'll have to keep an eye on things this weekend.

May God Bless all those in the path of this storm.
