seams a little weird, I have been a member seance they opened. we used to go up there all the time and we would let them know we were coming and they would let us camp there and they would lock us in. I guess we need to find a place local to camp and give them our money. right know I am counting 5 to 6 rigs on thursday night and working on more.
 
I wish it was as simple as us not wanting your money.

This heightened security and rule enforcement started about 2 years ago. We had a lot of issues, one of which was that the gate privileges were being abused.

There are also security concerns for Lawton & Karen's safety that were addressed due to some incidents, so that is why the gate has been attended and the posted hours are being enforced.

I am trying to get some leeway, but it doesn't look good unless we are willing to pay, and frankly it's probably too late to throw this together, but I'm trying.
 
Its too late, last year we came up early and I don't remember there being any problem that is why I was thinking it was no problem this year. It just makes it hard for the out of towners to drive 5 hours for one day wheeling. Or getting up early friday to make a 5 hour trip and wheel all day. It would make it less enjoyable. but due to safety reasons I can understand. Couple people already decided not to go. Me and Dennis are staying in Watts Rv the night before. This should be interesting. So if anybody want to visit on thursday night that is where we will be.

Don't beat yourself over getting it open Thursday not worth it this year.

Sounds like the problem is with the locals. Which it normally is.
 
Yeah Jason, some locals, but also some folks came in Thursday and not only went wheeling (a no-no on Thursday), but broke the night wheeling curfew.

I confirmed that on "open park" weekends, it is $150 to man the gate, and the guard must have an exact list of who is coming... not on the list, no entrance.

That's a little different deal than we have at Jamboree, which is a "closed park" event- for that we are only responsible for paying the guards wages.

So, I will not persue it if you've already made plans.

So you're just wheeling Friday and leaving Friday night then? Looks to be beautiful all weekend... :D
 
What is the campfire situation? fireban? firewood availability? firering/grill?
