just got done talking to the guy from hagerstown, the guy setting it up.
from what he says we are talking some serious fun.
there will be restrooms on site
food tent with basics like water chips hotdogs etc
small dog friendly, with leash - no need to leave fido alone for 12 hrs while you play
there is a few spots with mud but he says most of it is drying up, he says its windy enough today that tmrw should only allow for a few splashes in some puddles
the trails he was saying is going to be pretty awesome the way they are set up
there are going to be directional and bi-directional trails
all the trails will be able to be gotten thru with 33-35 tire guys
stockers and people with less than 33 will be able to go out to all the trails that the 33+ guys are on - they have built in bypasses that will let the smaller guys go around the hard part, observe the bigger guys and continue along the same trail
he described to me alot of different trail areas
from rock gardens to woods/trees
and even has one area called the graveyard - its a area with tombstones to crawl over
no need to worry about getting stuck or not having a winch
if for some reason you do get stuck and someone is being a douche and doesnt want to help you out they will have people out there just for helping
they have a back hoe, 2 vehicles with winches (they claim can get ANYTHING out) and a military fork lift rated at 20,000lb lifting capacity
That being said
Lets go have some fun!

if it was a stock spare tire i would grab you, cause then you could share the back seat
but we are talking a 31" tire
it sits in the middle and only leaves enough room for a small dog
plus i have it strapped down so it wont roll on me if i roll my jeep
if i had my upgraded tire carrier it wouldnt have been a problem cause then i would have one in the trunk and one on the carrier and the back seat would be free
