There will be no Official meeting for February. We have selected the 21st and 28th of February as the tank tour dates. We will use US 281 as the dividing line- East and West. Please submit your tanks here and whether you are east or west. We would like to see tanks in ALL stages...the newly set-up to matured tanks, so please feel free to submit yours. We will work the logistics out around the amount of tanks submitted. Anyone has multi-passenger vehicles/SUV/Vans will be appreciated. The cut-off date for submissions will be the 13th of February.

If enough interest in the Austin area, we will schedule tours there in the next month and include 35N to Austin.

I will be first to submit here. I am west.

This is a great opportunity for some of the newer folks to get a look at tanks in different stages of completion. Hopefuly some of the people who are at different phases will offer up their progress and allow us to see what it takes to acheive those dream tanks. Thanks!

If we don't get more of a response, we may be able to consolidate the tour into one
day.....and if we make the date the 28th, we may be able to add a few more tanks.
Would the West siders mind changing the date to the 28th?

All, I'm in on the tank tour whenever. Of course Cheri and Steve know my tank now so whatever I need to do I'm ready. Actually a bunch has been added after the new light install. I'm in Corpus Christi so wherever that is in relation to 281, maybe south. I'm also in a commercial building, which doesn't really matter I guess.

James, it would be great to add a Corpus Road trip/Tank Tour, I will see what I can organize for April/May.
What do you say Corpus Members, who wants to "Show their tanks?"

Hey Jen,
Think you could post some photos from the tank tour for those of us who are unable to participate? Would be much appreciated!

(That was Kristy in England- I (Mike) am planning to attend and show. :)
