I just realized I had made loose arrangements to convoy with @JCMINIS to arrive on thursday.

Time we leaving ? I was semi thinking 10am ish..The misses said I would need a nap before rolling out..I emailed RRB about early check in but havent got a reply.

Normally check in is at 3pm but by Noon is ok they said, especially since they will be seeing a massive influx of folks coming that weekend. By getting there earlier, the traffic won't be as bad for early arrivals. Anybody that rented each site the night before has to be out by 11am.

Then 10 should be about right... @ 63ft long I go a "little" slower but not by much...haha.

Called adrenaline and excitement! After our 2 day trip into Tennessee we and @Eltobgi went directly into an 11 hour ride after meeting Delton ,took 30 min catnap ate and went another 7 strait till sleep. Then repeat. Sleep when you’re dead:)
The only way I was able to sleep at RRB was due to a broken axle, and the fact that I was able to limp back to camp. I didn’t want to ruin the ride for everyone and was capable of getting the BEAST ready for a transplant when a “donor match” was found. I enjoyed and will never forget hearing the Roar of groups of Pioneers as they accelerated all at once up the main trail from the RRB Campground and set out for adventure. But even with “Axle Problems” I rode by removing shaft and knuckles! Took the trail to the gas station in town by myself for supplies and ran up and down the highway. As we all know the Pioneer is still very Capable with only Rear Wheel Drive! The Good thing about breaking down is having the opportunity to log on and catch up with everyone’s adventures on here and sharing a few of my own. So if you have the time to sleep you are most likely broken down and for that I am Sorry!:cool:

you mean cleaning it?
If anything like last year there will be plenty of cleaning after the event or even during. I remember being at the cleaning station so it was easier to do some repairs later, @Hondasxs gave us some coins for the pressure washer, there @lee showed up. That’s where we met him. Sat there for a long time just bulls***ting. Lots of good memories you will take from that place.

I’ve got a 7gpm 12v pump I may take down to the creek. It took me $30 worth of cleaning station to lighten my 700 by a couple hundred pounds the last time I paid for cleaning.

Lol. Just roll up Stinking Creek and back to loosen up the crap would probably save 25$

I'll bring my gas powered pressure washer. I have full hook up but am staying up the road at the other camp I think by where we parked for the overland. Hopefully I can find a discreet location to do some washing.
