OFFICIAL 2025 CLCC FALL CRAWL 10/24–10/26 DISCUSSION THREAD (2 Viewers)

The math Is what it is. Its 65 dollars a day is what it comes out to for on site camping/land use fee at The Cove for Fall Crawl, which IMO isn't bad.

Do I wish it was per truck and not per person? Of Course I do!!! but at the end of the day it a phenomenal private property wheeling location that I along with many others enjoy wheeling at. The Cove has their pricing and it is what it is, I'm thankful they took the time to meet with us to come up with this plan. We discussed a good deal of topics on how other (larger events) are run there and it just makes sense. That is the reason for making this information available to everyone prior to the event so everyone can make their own decision on whether or not the would like to attend.

I do understand the the attempts to Negotiate with Rausch Creek or lack there of. We have explored other venue options in the past. What it comes down to location location location. We are a MD/DC/VA based club and we want to house the event in VA. The Cove offers good Camping with Great Wheeling and is local for most.

All the other venues explored we either have to camp in a gravel parking lot, drive out to a camp ground away from the trails, property isn't big enough to house everyone on the trails, or its a greater distance accruing more fuel and travel costs (again for most). Spread sheets have been made and even if the event moved the cost would still be about the same. So the club took a vote and we are where we are. I for one am excited to wheel at the cove and have no issue with the price. I pay it once a year and always have a great time. We are just trying to make the event run smoother and more consistent for everyone attending

I think you guys made the right call. As you said, location, location, location. We struggled with this as well. For those that tow and even drive, an extra 200-300 miles round trip and the extra 5-6 hours adds up. $65 a day is better than the $50 plus a day ar Rausch or some other parks.

I look forward to being part of this event every year!

The biggest issue our crew had was being raked over the coals for the rest of their family but only one rig going out on the trails. The new rate $520 bucks for a family of four in one truck. Hopefully in the future a passenger rate or non-driver rate can be accommodated.
Last year they charged Ryan for his bikes that the kids rode around the campsite on not the trails. Hope that does not happen again.

I understand the frustration of being charged per person but at this time its the way it is. Its their property so we will just have to play by their rules. I do hope to come to some form of agreement with them in the future to go to a "per truck" system but after talking with some other clubs the do events there, it doesn't seem likely. Again that why we wanted to get this information out so people can decide for themselves whether out not they want to do it solo or bring the family. I fully understand it can add up quick

I tried to be the first to sign up but I got hung up with some family stuff for a couple of minutes. Still got in pretty early I think.

Working out of state this year and won't be able to make it until Saturday late afternoon. Will have to sit this one out.

@Stumpalama Quick question.
Was I supposed to get a confirmation email other than the PayPal receipt?

As a friend of mine often says: you'll get nothing and be happy about it.

BLUF: Paypal receipt is proof of registration.
Detail: There is another automated confirmation email that is supposed to come from Registration app, but it often gets filtered by mail servers as spam.

For what it's worth when we tried to negotiate with Rausch Creek to continue to hold the coal mine cruiser classic there they were unwilling negotiate anything for our large group to help with the costs.

Camping is free at Rausch Creek
