When you arrive at the Flying L Ranch Resort in Bandera, TX, please proceed to the Main House for check-in. During times on Saturday and Sunday when we expect most guests to arrive, a Rice staff member will be available to assist you. Once checked in to the Ranch, go to the Pilot's Lounge to pick up your registration materials — solar glasses, badge and lanyard, water bottle and camp chair.

Attire
The attire for the weekend is casual. Please dress comfortably, including footwear suitable for walking over uneven ground in natural areas. Springtime in the hill country is beautiful and sunny, so a hat and sunscreen are also recommended.
Advice Related to Large Crowds in the Area During Eclipse Weekend
Because much of the Texas Hill Country will be within the path of totality for the 2024 total solar eclipse, local agencies have cautioned travelers about unpredictable and extremely heavy traffic all around the area of Bandera. Additionally, cellular and internet connectivity will likely be unreliable. Be sure to have cash available in the event credit card transactions are not possible during an outage. Fuel stations may not be serviceable so please enter the area with plenty of gas in your vehicle. The town of Bandera has only one EV charging station. If you have the opportunity and inclination, pack provisions to have with you as you travel and/or for a picnic at the Ranch.
