June Big Dogs

Wanted to start a post on this I have lots of questions about this never been there before.

When does everyone get to the event ? (looking at what days i need off)

What camp should i be staying in ? ( I like to drink and have a good time but I need my beauty sleep too)

When does everyone come home ?

I like to wheel and im going here to wheel am I going to the right place?
( does to party take over more than the wheeling)

Im sure there will be more questions from me as it gets closer and maybe more people too.

x2 I know the dates I just want to make sure I end up in the right spot.

Event is June 5 Friday through June 7 Sunday.
Usually we start showing up on thursday night or friday morning.
We camp in camp 6.
they have instituted a 12:00 pm quiet time so you will get plenty of beauty rest.
Everyone usually leaves sunday morning or rides the trails until 2-3 pm and then heads home.

remember that there is a big dogs fee of like $70 and then a "land use fee" for each person that comes along of like $35 each for the weekend. they do have showers and a place to potty.

you will need a tent and food. we eat breakfast at the camp, lunch usually on the trail and back to camp for dinner. we cook everything we eat as it is very inconvenient to go out for meals since it is so far back in the woods. make sure you top off the fuel tanks since getting fuel is like a 30 minute round trip. Bring coolers and plenty of ice. there is a small store but not much there at all, and expensive.

there is also a pond for swimming, with a floating platform and sandy beach. Also has a shooting range included in land use fee.

Ok Let me add who will be there thurs night cuz like Chuck said I am coming to wheel, Then drink and should we pre register

You should preregister online and print a copy of your registration and print a copy of your payment through paypal. I usually wait til the last few days prior to register just in case the jeep explodes in the garage or something. I will try to be there thurs night to secure a good location at camp 6.

I think the 12am thing is a good Idea. usally nothing good hapens after that time anyway. For the food thing, we usally have steak night on saturday which i garuntee will be the best meal you ever had camping. Me and Mandy be getting there thur night probly around 8 or 9 pm.

I think you guys are starting to talk me in to this

trust me the trails are worth it. we just talk mostly about the partying cause funny stuff always happens. pennsyltucky, insanity and bunny are on my hit list. I can't get enough of pennsyltucky trail

I will be honest we are coming for the trails and will be there thurs nite as long as that suits chuck

The trails will keep you telling stories for a while and they will set the bar for any new trails you run afterwards. I love korum, pensyltukian, extreme - they are all rock trails that I can't think of a good equivalent at rausch. They are wide outcropping of rocks from small to huge with multiple lines and uphill climbs. They're a blast to run with true rock crawling from beginning to end in most of them. You can run 3 rigs wide on some sections and I've heard Bill describe it before as kind of a rock creek uphill.

Insanity is one of the best hard trails i've ever been on. We have yet to run Bunny and I don't really expect a run without carnage. It is pretty brutal on the best built rigs. Although after seeing the last comp, it seems like it's been widened a lot to allow more forgiving lines.

I'll say it time and time again, you won't regret a big dogs trip if you're a wheeler at heart which you guys are!! Sure the weather sucks ass sometimes but we always make the best of it. I don't think any of us can say we ever had a bad time, hell, not even a bad day!

fine be that way "no steak or beer for you"

LOL...agreed Joe. I think you guys need to go camp in the christian camps.

In all seriousness though, if the noise gets to you camp 6 probably isn't the place for you. You can always stay at another camp and drive back and forth. We're by no means quiet, nor is anybody else, but nothing caps a good day of wheeling better than beer. Once I'm done drinking it's pass out time and nothing short of getting run over by a stray rig will wake me. Nicki survives it and she doesn't even drink when we're there so man up pussies!

Its not about Manin up its alot of money to spend and times are tough. We will be there and will have fun just a little nervous

it is a lot of money but you won't be disappointed in the trails. you can get 3 good days of wheeling in and if so desired 2 good night runs in. camping in camp 6 is only a good idea if you don't mind the party atmosphere. if you want quite then it is just as easy to stay at another camp that is a little more quiet and drive to/from the party/bonfire whenever you want. it can get quite noisy at night at camp 6 so i understand. having a new 12pm quite time may help but its hard to say if people will comply. usually it's the locals that arent even with big dogs that create the problems. well then there is Joe.

Okay well Emily and I will be coming out for this event. It might be my last till after the wedding but we will be there all weekend. I hope to get there thrusday or friday morning.

Don't be nervous rob or chuck you guys are going to have a blast. Start getting excited!! It is worth every shiny little penny.

are most of you guys planning on running SUNDAY morning, and do you have an extra seat. i was going to drive down in the morning and be a passenger. to watch and take pics, just cause my rig is broke doesn't mean i can't come and hang out

i normally don't run sunday just because if something goes wrong your kind of screwed with getting home at a decent time. Von, you should come down sat afternoon or evening and get a night ride in also.

I'm Putting a long weekened in, so I'm hopping to have this damn thing 99% mobil by monday if all goes well. i'm still waiting for one TRE and adapter to come in which should be here sometime next week.

If I do run Sunday I make it a quick run. Nicki is a bit burned out by Sunday and wants to get home asap. After a few days of torturing her I guess it's only fair. I'm usually pretty damn run down too and it is a struggle to make it home awake without a nap, right Matt??

I usually do run half day sunday since I'm only about an hour away but my right seat is taken this trip.
