ok so i talked to Rob and Tim and we are going to try and in frederick at 7. we will be leaving my house at around 5:30. i think the shopping center would be perfect that is right of the highway

also Todd, do we need to make reservations for the camp site? or is is first come first serve?

 

[N2DAMYSTIC]

"What To Bring" time for discussion here. Since we would be camping what will we need in the way of Food and supplies. Beer is a no brainer but thinking about camping equipment, Grill, Chairs, Marshmellows, Ya Know....

Sounds like a plan. If you leave your house at 5:30, you should make it to Fredrick by 7 am without a problem. As far as reservations go, I made one last month when you first mentioned that you were going to bring your RV, so we are covered there. By the way, go any room in your RV for me? If not, no big deal, I have a room reserved at the Indian Lakes Resort.

Good point Tim. I am going out today to pick up a few things. I have a portable gas grill that we can use if you guys don't have one already. As far as food goes, I would recommend Hot dogs and hambergers, thier easy to make and store. Also Breakfast supplies, like eggs, sausage, etc. but that is up to you all.

Todd, if you want to stay with us thats fine. the rv is a 34 footer. i'm sure we can figure something out and that way your there at night camping with us. so sure, just stay with us.

i have chairs guys so dont worry about that and i have a little grill i keep in the rv. so all we need is beer and food which we can get down there somewhere.

Thanks Carlos, I'll give you a call today. I'm going to bring my portable grill with just as a backup, better to have too many grills than none at all.

 

[N2DAMYSTIC]

I'll pack a cooler full of Beer and breakfast food. I will also make a few surf and turf Kabobs for the grill if anyone is down.

As for the ATV should I bring an extra 5 gallons of gas? Do they have a filling station up there?

Awesome Tim. As far as gas goes, def bring extra gas. The closest gas station is 10 miles away. Same with the closest store.

Update, the weather forecast for Central City for Saturday and Sunday is Highs in the low 70's with a 40% chance of rain. So bring some rain gear and changes of clothes. Expect some mud, puddles, and so forth. It's going to be a great time and not dusty..yeah!

 

[N2DAMYSTIC]

Sounds perfect to me! Betting it will not rain at all though!

[Finaltheorem47]

Some things have come up and I can't come for the full weekend, but I'm going to try hard to make it on Saturday only.

I have my Grizzly Box on the back of my 700 that can hold a lot of crap. I have a cooler that I put in it that will hold 12 cans, plus I have a tow strap and Green Slime tire sealer kit that I bring with. Have yet to use the Green Slime but it's nice insurance in case someone gets a hole in thier tire. You can strip a bag to your rack if you want to bring with other stuff. Make sure to bring with some bungy cords as well. They come in handy.

Very cool!

The one I bought has front and rear racks with a huge storage thing that doubles as a cooler;-)

Green Slime is a good idea. Hopefully will not have to go there with the new tires on.

One more thing, Helmets must be worn at all times. If you get caught riding without one, you will be kicked off of the property. That includes riding in the camping area. Lets play smart and safely.

All I have is a full face racing helmet as well so I was going to pick up a motorcross helmet for the heck of it. They were not too expensive at the cycle shop here in Laurel. You do need to buy goggles though if you use that type of helmet.
