i'm headin down friday after 5. don't lock the gates til i get there!! btw.. anyone know how to troubleshoot an inverter with a fault light? damn thing's brand new.. well.. bought it last year.. finally got it hooked up and ran the system. now it's dead.. go figure.. btw.. my tiny $60 fridge got super cold..

just got gas just need to wax her and buy food

AC power there i presume? how long of a cord do i need to bring? Also, sorry for the dumb questions, but the pre-reg fee.. that cover the grounds fee too? or no.. just lookin at my cash outlay for this week..

is there going to be signs off exit 63

swimmster yes there is AC power, and your pre-reg covered your grounds fee. just bring some $$ for jello shots and for stuff from the vendors! <puppy>

If you arrive on Thursday, there is usually an extra charge

Just bring what you normally would to camp swimster. 50 footer usually works for me so I carry 2. If you run out of money you can panhandle outside the gate. May not have a lot of luck but I'll bet it would be fun. If I make it(it's looking doubtful) I'll panhandle with you. Anything goes as long as no vanner(or their stuff) gets harmed.

Just my 2% but it usually works for me. Go prepared to have a good time and you won't be disapointed.

Good people, good times!

Yes Swimmster--they are correct--your pre-reg covers your space from Friday to Sunday--Thursday night arrivals must pay an extra day to the grounds owner--not usually more than ten bucks tho. Also for you early arrivals--be sure you have something to eat with you if you don't want to vanture out on Friday--usually food opens Friday afternoon. You will want money for ice for the coolers, jello shots and the infamous 'luge' requires $1 each visit! Not to mention patches and stuff, and if you ordered a shirt from Attitude Check! And bring cords, although there is power, sometimes the poles are a bit far away--more is better!

But, once you are there--it won't matter what you have or don't have--it will just matter that you are there!

Hey swimmster you're going to be there?!
That's cool, lookin' forward to meeting you!
