No tech, unless you count bridge building. Things look good for the event, no camping on the island though. We got the last of the projects finished up this weekend. Be prepared for lots of mud...

more bridge stuff.

cptyarderho · 09-25-2006, 02:42 AM

Anyone from here going? I will be up on Thursday for any last minute projects.

With the island closed, are they planning to open other areas for camping (if there are any)?

Unfortunately, there isnt alot of extra space to camp, we'll just have to squeeze in a little. The island has to be used for a crop, land usage issue.

There are a lot of other areas people can camp. Over the last two years, at least, no one utlized the areas around the pond, on the East side. That's actually a really cool spot and 10-15 people could camp there easily.

The area near the entrance hardly gets used, either. And, I even think there is power there.

And, god forbid you have to set your tent up in the woods....

I think it was 2-years ago the island entrance was under several feet of water for the first 2-days of the event. There was plenty of room that year, and I think that was a "better" turnout with something like 400+ trucks.

I really don't see it being an issue. But, I've already staked a claim on my spot

I will be there. I'm not sure if I will be riding or driving yet though. I could be doing some T4 system demonstrations for Robison Service depending on how things work out.
