IRV2, an Internet website for RVers, was the instigating force behind the organization of The Texas Boomers. The format encourages participants to share their favorite RVing stories, ask questions and obtain answers to common problems with their various RV's and it is a great way to get people together online who enjoy the same thing. Since it's formation, the website has become one of the foremost RVing internet websites and "boomers" from many states have formed individual RVing groups.

Cathie Jo, of Beaumont, logged onto the website and became immersed in meeting new people all across Texas. She organized The Texas Boomers RV Club and planned their first rally in the summer of 2000. Four couples gathered at Sea Rim State Park for a weekend of fun and fellowship. Following that rally, she organized another rally in Kerrville for October of 2000. Unfortunately she wasn't able to attend and her return to a writing career and other family matters prevented her from being as active in the group as she had hoped to be.

At an October, 2000 rally in Kerrville, four other couples gathered for the first time. They immediately became good friends and quickly decided that Cathie Jo's goal of building an IRV2 Texas Boomer Club would not be forgotten.

Sandy Creekmore (with help and support from hubby Rusty) took on the challenge of organizing the Texas Boomers and immediately began planning future rallies. We celebrated our 5th anniversary in 2005 with more than 100 members on the roster. Now, heading toward our 10th anniversary, the club continues to grow by the rally with members from the four corners of our great State!

The term "Boomer" was originally intended to encompass people of the "baby boomer" age born between 1946 - 1964 and profiled as those who are pre-retirement and empty-nested. However, such a description is NOT the case with the Texas Boomers! We have attendees who are younger (and older) and we have some whose children light up the campground whenever they are able to come! We have those who are full timers and others anxiously waiting for their turn on the open road! Most of us, though, are still working stiffs who have adopted the motto that we only go to work to earn enough money to keep our rigs rolling on the weekends!!!!
