Go to https://texasstateparks.reserveamerica.com/, enter Fort Boggy State Park, select day passes, arrival date (April 17, 2021), select not flexible, and 1 day for length of stay. For more detailed instructions, please see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZfP0USJq0Q
You can still pay the day of the event at the park. Cash is strongly encouraged. Last time, I believe the credit card machines were down. Admission is $3 for adults, and free for children aged 12 and younger.

The weather is looking cool for a change. After years having these meets in sweltering heat and playing around with the calendar to find cooler temps, I might've found a sweet spot. The forecasted high this Saturday is 65 degrees and overcast. It's not 72 and clear, but it beats 95 and sunny!

I had to delay this event for a year, but good things come to those who wait. We had the best weather ever since this GTG started in 2006! The sun finally poked through when we got to Centerville and the temps were in the 50s and 60s. We had 22 cars representing 40 years of MB models (1979-2019). Thanks everyone for coming!
