Yea, absolutely. Though the Blue Whale in Catoosa would probably be too small for a BBQ or 'off the grid' GTG. Great place to do it, though. Even with no swimming.

Well, im sure you're aware of the fun on 66 in AZ. Winslow (obviously..lol), Williams (Canyon side trip), Kingman just to name a few. Tho there or back to Tulsa would be a great trip.

I live just outside Tulsa I am sure we could find somewhere. If we had to I have 5 acres and the space depending on how many would be coming. There is also a public baseball field/park right by my house with 2 entrances and a wide gravel road through it. We could easily park on each side of it and walk up and down and look at cars.

Sometimes it’s just that it needs cleaned, in the channels that run it to the back.

You need to find the discharge end of the drain pipes. The ends are puckered to keep out insects. The pucker causes debris to pile-up and then water backs-up to the top and overflows into the ceiling upholstery. I trimmed off the bottom of the drain hose. I used a stranded 14 gauge wire to unplug the drain hoses by pushing up from the bottom. Do not use compressed air........ if you blow-off the hose at it's connection to the tray, you'll be in for some serious work to correct the problem.
There are drains on all four corners.
I've had to deal with this problem on my 2003 Jetta and my 2011 Tiguan.

Well, if many are into the 'Route 66' theme, maybe Adrian, Texas. Considered to be the exact middle of the route. But a borderline GTG still works for me, JMO.

One day if one of these Gtg happens closeish to Canada it would be fun to make the drive. I’ve been on three road trips: twice from Alberta to California and once to Arizona almost to the Mexican border actually. So I am down for pretty much anywhere. Utah would be nice.

Did you go to Tombstone and Bisbee? That's pretty close to Mexico, like only 20min to Naco.

No. Unfortunately. I’d like to go to tombstone. We went to this observatory. It was pretty neat.

Boy would that be nice! Meet with other TDI owners and shoot the breeze. I still regret not having gone to the last official GTG when it happened, given I've been through 15 TDIs now in the past 14 years!

I think down in Texas maybe a little west of San Antonio would be a good location. Preferably in the winter
I’ll second this, i have a place to stay in boerne.
Texas hill country is a awesome area

Anywhere would be nice .. I'm not sure where that would be. That's sort of like everywhere. It is on our bucket list.

I wouldn't balk at that, unless you're thinking my place; I don't think I'll have ennough room for a TDIfest, though I'm more NW of San Antonio. ;-)

Plus we could do a drive on the three twisted sisters, which starts in Medina (takes me about 40-ish miles to get to Boerne). I think the total drive is like 100 miles or so, unless you start and end in Medina. RR473 is another fun road, though I hydroplanned there a few years ago. Ironically, they started repairing the road a few weeks after I and another TDI hydroplanned the same day after the first rain of the year.

If you give only a three day notice that will cut the size of the crowd down

I can't do something like that with a three day notice, though I know you're just joking.
