Things to know for a first timer

[foxwar71]

Some of you may know who I am, some have even met me!! I'm ditching NACfest this year and coming the Crawl instead. I got the jist of the event but pointers for planning are always welcome. I'm planning to head down Wed/Thur so I can wheel a full 3 days, Fri-Sun. I'll be in a tent, or if I'm lucky I'll score a slide-on camper to put on my new goosenecks. Do I have to reserve anything? Show up and say I'm here to camp with a bunch of jeep weirdos? Just follow the Empire crew and let my inner self shine?!?

My goals are to wheel the stupidest things you guys point me at and flop/roll the jeep at some point.

If you are tent camping it, just show up and say "Hey I'm camping here for however many nights for the crawl". And yes, just follow us Empire guys and we'll go do some damage to our rigs on the mountain together.

Good advice for you and especially if you have kids is NEVER EVER pick up a rock, log, or other item without being extremely careful.

LOTS of copperheads in the area and someone's dog got bit 2 years ago.

So fill a large cooler with beer and pee on any snakes I see?

You got it!

and bring bug spray!

rain gear.......bring some

Be prepared for heat and humidity, as well as a monsoon. Both tend to happen every day up there as it's summer time in the south.

Bring an appetite as well for the evenings, as we like to eat. Don't forget money for the raffle as well.

Both of these. I made the mistake last year of not bringing enough beer AND not bringing rain gear. I was soaked and sober. It sucked. At least till I went to the sketchy gas station the next county over and bought beer.

After years of driving a buggy XJ with no glass, I still forget to cover it at night. I'm really not the brightest, you guys are gunna have some fun experiencing me

That was my friend Lenny's dog. The one with the deuce and half camper. LOL!

Yea bring what you like to drink. If there is something you cannot get be we can we often have beer swaps so let us know.

****!! I need to talk to you at some point. I'm staying on the other side of the mountain. I'll find you.

 

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

why are you staying on the other side? that's no fun

 

[89eliminator]

cause he is anti fun.

A lot of people like the Evarts side. I have not stayed there but it looks rough. :looser:

They like it because it's WAY closer to the trails. and WAY closer to fuel and food.

I'm hoping with the improvement to the road up the mountain that getting to the trails from the campground won't take forever now.

that's true. ive stayed over there before for those reasons but not during crawl because I like to party party1:

 

[94xjsport94]

Ding ding. I'll make an appearance to say hey but we're giving the other side a try. Plus I think I'll be in a decent size group that isn't all folks.

In the finally countdown of getting ready!!!
