Ok.. Who is going and when are you leaving? :)

[rmuller]

wish I could make it.. gotta go to a damn wedding... but there are some NJ people going.. I believe Jarek & Eric are going down..

[galen211]

I'm in, hopefully leaving Wednesday to help ROAV with any last minute set-up stuff.

[pushngo]

I will probably leave Lancaster Thurs morning 10ish

[ini88]

I will be going. we should get a big caravan together and head down.

[rvrsrvc]

Sent in my entry form.
Not sure of departure date yet.
Andrea has to give a talk in Alexandria that Thursday evening, so we haven't figured out what to do with Max yet.
And, Tyler's mom is probably not going to let him miss school so I may not be down until Friday night.

[flippedrover]

Heading down Thursday after i wake up from my nap.

Although this may be a moot point...I just read that a speeding ticket in VA is now $1300!

Perhaps you meant to post that in your Jaguar forum?;)

I just got one there last month and it cost me like $100 or so. There's the BS court fees and stuff, but then I think it was $36 + $5 for ever mile over.

So, doing 75 in a 65 should be $50 + $36 + the court/bas fees.

That's only if I get a ticket since I live in the communist state of Va. The fines don't apply to out of state drivers.

I'm going! Leaving thursday. Would love to meet up with you guys this year! MUDFEST 07 here i come!

[derekdilks]

I'm planning on going, already sent registration, will be my first time... :D
not sure what day we're headed down but we'd like to caravan.... Bringing the wife so I hope there are other females who don't like getting their nails, hair, feet etc dirty, otherwise I'm screwed.

[Tom109]

Dirty?

Does the fact that the past 5-or-so MAR's have had at least the remnants of a hurricane to contend with indicate anything?

It's still a lot of fun, even when trails and the island get closed or evacuated. Just be sure to pack extra clothes in a drybag...

lol, yeah you're screwed. Did you get a hotel room? That may be your only saving grace.

[pushngo]

Lol!!!!!!

Other realistic things that could happen at MAR.
- the trails will never get backed up, jammed or badly dug up
- you will be allowed to drive a jeep on the trails
- everyone will be an experienced driver with appropriate recovery gear
- people will obey spotters
- there will be no beer
- entrance fee will be $5 with 2 free t-shirts
- when someone gets stuck, there will be only one opinion on recovery
- I will drive like I know what I am doing

[derekdilks]

So what you're saying is, she should stay home, I should get her a hotel room, or have an RV w/ MTR's?

[galen211]

There are very open fields as you enter the place and many RV's camp there no MTR's needed.

There are no showers, no electricity and no flush toilets. But last year we did have 8" of rain in two days so you could have taken a shower if you wanted too.

[galen211]

- there will be no beer

:eek: Shhh! People may start an ugly rumor off that one!

[crazyfish]

I figured that was as believable as the rest of them :)

Hey, it might be sunny, 75 with cool clear nights.......

[Disco4X4XFar]

Hey, it might be sunny, 75 with cool clear nights.......

yeah right thats what they said last year

[flippedrover]

If you are leaving Thursday feel free to caravan down with me. You pass by my place on the way down. Yes an RV or a camper would probably keep the wife happy unless she likes the mud and rain.

[Tom109]

Bring a "dry" tent, or go buy one NOW! And get there early enough to set it up in a good spot, or hope someone can save a spot for you(!). This alone can make all the difference when the rains come...

Tom P.

[galen211]

And get some large blue tarps to wrap your tent like a cocoon when the rains do come.

This is in the middle of nowhere, getting supplies during can be a little challenging.

[Tdi Guy]

I will be there on Friday afternoon. Were will all you guys be setting up camp? Last year I was up top in that field... I think I saw the short bus parked up in that area a lot..

lol, you definately did not see the short bus as it was on vacation from it's owner during MAR.:D

[Tdi Guy]

Oh yeah... I read about that.. It was a 109 that was painted yellow and black I think..
