I'll know more by the end of Feb if I'm driving or not, if I do a U-Haul rental trailer might be the answer, I would pull it down with my truck and I could just keep it parked in the lot with a combo lock on it and you could come and go as you would like to get gear out and so on, that might be an option?

I am seriously planning on heading to Padre. Have we confirmed dates/cost. Any interest in going later in the month for some overlap with the SPI Kite Roundup?

Nothing is fixed in stone, though May is one of our best months here in Minnesota. We usually plan on going down during the non ridable interim here. April is the best wind as well. Also not sure if I'd want it much more crowded down there.

Katie has the right idea. Do both.

Does anyone know when the sping breakers are supposed to be there, I wouldn't want to be there when they are all there.

Dave and I have firmed up our plans. We decided to fly to SPI instead of drive. We will be going down 3/26 to 4/3. :D
