TRAIL DAYZ 2009

“looks like camping is in the same place. Although they have been carving more camping areas out of the woods further down shadey ave.

”

“I forgot about this little bit of ouchiness...

Park your car for $15 and admit occupants for $5 each at Campground. Individual campers are admitted for $5 each forfour nights camping.”

“$20 for all isn't too bad.....”

“Jeeze, seriously. That's one night in a state park in CA.”

“$20 for 2 people. If you have 4 peeps in the car it will be $30. Its not that the price is high, its that up till last year or maybe the year before, camping was free and parking only cost $10”

“and don't forget about the vendor fees going up.”

“...are there porta potties?...what about showers???”

“Lotsa porta potties and they do have showers. The men's shower room has 2 maybe 3 showers, not sure about the women's room, so be prepared to stand in line. I usually go in the middle of the night, less waiting and more hot water.”

“how about early in the am??”

“Traildaze in pictures:

“I am planning on arriving on Monday or Tuesday...it says the camping area isn't open until Thursday....what shall I do???”

“talk to local, he will probably fix it for you to get in. Maybe he'll start posting here again soon. Or maybe frig will let you bunk there.”

“hopefully jenna and i will make it this year
im plannin on taking a vacation day on fri,
hope to see yall there!”

“Divinity, if you plan on volunteering at all you get free admission to the campground and parking all week. Otherwise stay at Frig's.”

“...lol...I'll invite myself to stay at Fridges...lol....”

“tell'em WE said so!!”

“I should volunteer for something huh???”

“if you get the campsite early you can spread out in our spot last year”

“where might that be located?”

“we'll draw a map and post it somewhere. problem is that these aren't saved spots. If you don't get there first someone else may take the spot, then we ahve to find a new spot”

“ok...I will do my best :) ...I am trying to get Trixie to go with me :)”

“hey hyway I will be at camp on thursday morning ...”

“well not this thursday morning but thrusday before traildays”

“weren't you there thursday afternoon last year and found that someone had gotten our old place?”

“ya but this time I'll be there in the morning”

“My bday is right around that time. That may me a gift from me to me.......going to TD. :))”

“You will love it nemster.”

“when is everyone gettin there? DOesn't it start on Thur? Will ya'll save me two trees to hammock from if I roll in on Friday? Where are we parking. Are there showers...and is anyone gonna do any hiking? :)”

“Mildbill.....when do plan to roll in and leave.”

“Bucky Katt, yes, I think it starts on Thursday, but many people don't get there until Friday. I am going to try to get there Thursday night, or Friday morning. Depends on my job situation.

You can park on the street (in some places) or in the campground parking area (see map).

There are showers available. Your best bet is to take a shower at night, or in the morning before all the hungover people (...not me of course) wake up.

Oh, and bring showers shoes, cuz there is some nasty juju in those showers.

“maybe I'll skip the shower....are you gonna day hike or anything? I have a hankerin to hike the AT from Damascus to the state line since I wimped out three years ago this coming September :)”

“I haven't decided what I am going to do yet, but I have already done the hike to the state line twice. I think windgirl has a hike planned into Damascus though.”

“ahh. wow. didn't know you'd done that hike twice already. Yes, I like windgirls plan ALOT, only problem is, I have to come up with 5 days of vacation from work.”

“I would like to get there thursday. But, never been before so I have no idea what to do.”

“The only hiking that suits trail days in back and forth to town. Before or after is good for hiking if you have the time. There is usually a short dayhike planned by Golite.”

“I would like to get there thursday. But, never been before so I have no idea what to do.”

Just bring you some car camping gear, (tent, sleeping bag etc.) a cooler of whatever you want to eat or drink, a lounge chair, a little money and an appetite.”

“What days are you doing?”

“I will be riding with Hyway, so I ain't sure. Usually we get there Thursday night and leave Sunday.”

“Well, I am going to try to get there at a decent time thursday. As long as I know where the TTers will be.”

“Is anyone going to make a TRAIL TALK sign to put at the campsite? That would make it easier for some of us to find the right spot, especially if we get there late at night.”

“I hate that I'm gonna miss max patch next weekend. Its good you're going to be there a couple days in april.”

“Well, the April hike is on hold right now, because of my job. I am still hoping.”

“Oh man....hopefully you will be able to.”

“Is the super soaker thing a tradition or can we forgo that? Cats don't like water. *meow*”

“the water battle is a must to attend, but many people do stay out of it. Just don't stand next to anyone with a water gun”

“I would worry about melting.”

“becuase she's wicked or because you are?”

“yeah nemster, do tell?”

“Oh yeah Nemster, I forgot to tell you to bring a water gun.”
