Flight is purchased, tickets for all show are purchased (Katy top side center is already sold out 😫) and car is rented. Now it's the lodging. No good options in Mesquite for AirBnB and no hotels within walking distance for Denton. I'm going to make it work. After hosting corps at my school for the past several years, I'm taking a year off and hitting as many shows as I can. Allentown tailgate will be set up as always across from the HamFam. Just a different opportunity to do the Texas run. Will your A-town burgers be a Texas souvenir? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the good German Curry ketchup and Dusseldorf style mustard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my Wisconsin faithful will back me on the openness of our tailgates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I don’t usually seek them out, though, because my stomach normally can’t handle it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the key question is where South Texas begins and ends; we Americans think of it all as North Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of German influence in Corpus Christi, which truly is in South Texas.😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I am also considering the Texas Triangle trip this year - given that I'll be a new resident of Texas by then. Still in the planning stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Corps Guy Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Have others done this trip in the past? I'm just looking for any feedback or suggestions on places to visit while I am down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
