A ton of folks generally leave on Sunday, Monday is kind of an empty field with the last stragglers cleaning up/packing up their sites and heading out.So I’ve been really close to registering for this event twice now but Each time I end up not clicking the register button. I’m just curious why the dates always start and end in the middle of a week, W-M instead of like a M-Sa or Sun-Fri? The way it’s set up people from the east coast, and I’m guessing anyone else, essentially have to take two weeks off of work to come out there to be able to do the event instead of one week. It makes it rather difficult to pack into a calendar. I’d love to come but each year the dates leave me scratching my head. It’s obviously a great event and loved by everyone who attends, but why are the days of the week selected that way?
Lots of people leave on Sat and Sun. You just have to be gone by Monday.So I’ve been really close to registering for this event twice now but Each time I end up not clicking the register button.

You're going to have 2-3 travel days each way, 25 hrs for me. Travel the weekend before. Camp a few days in CO. Get to the event on Wed. Leave early Sunday and book it back in two long days. I take 6-7 days off. Most years, I drive from CO straight to Orange Beach, AL for continuing education classes starting the following Wednesday. SiriusXM, coffee and Buccees are your friends.So I’ve been really close to registering for this event twice now but Each time I end up not clicking the register button.

This is what we do coming out of South Georgia and it works really well. It’s actually setup perfect for us.You're going to have 2-3 travel days each way, 25 hrs for me. Travel the weekend before.

You need to get in first though. Good luck with that. All the HIH insiders already take the majority of the slots.
Sponsors and Insiders don’t count towards the 100. So the answer would be 100I so wonder how many slots are left after sponsors and others are registered.

@Riverrunner can get you good quotes on shipping the truck back. When you only get 13 mpg, it isn't necessarily cheap to drive back. This also makes it possible to fly out of Denver easily because that is where they would pick up the truck from as I understand it.You can always ship the truck and fly in; will add a fair amount of cost to the trip, but you'll save time not driving back and forth from the east coast. Aaron from Summit Auto Transport has been a sponsor / preferred vendor for guys that ship.
I have shipped my truck to @Riverrunner the last two years and drive back to Austin. It is well worth it to ship your rig with camp stuff loaded. In the past Aaron has let me ship my truck to his place, the flights are very inexpensive from Aus to Den, 100/person one way. Your rig and it's contents are safe both in transport and at Aaron's. The drive from Denver to Silverton is beautiful and only takes about 6hrs. If we get in this year, this will be our plan again. Hope this helps.Thanks guys. Yes, Denver will be your pick up and drop off location for the event if you're requesting a quote through the website. You may be surprised at the cost depending on where you're shipping from/to.
I'm sure this has been asked before, but for those of you with small children, how did they handle the event? I have a 5 year old, and 2 year old (both boys). They love trucks, but I don't know how much trail riding they can stand. Did your kids like the trail rides, or did they do a few, and then hang out at camp otherwise? The event looks awesome, but I don't want to spend this amount of time with whiny children (not that kinds do that kind of thing...)
Thanks!
