I am not gonna be able to make it again this year. I just don't have the money and still a long ways from ever getting my bus done. Maybe one day I can get a real job and stop trying to make money on these cars I love.

I am going to camp this year in the bus and am looking to hang out in a Kid friendly Zone.
Any one from ATL going that is taking their sub teenager kids?
Most of my Homies here in Chattanooga area just go home each night....

Raul, Pete, Skeeter, and I are rolling out from Lilburn/Stone Mountian area at 3:00. gonna take it 60-65 on the interstates up there. If anybody wants to join along, the more the merrier.

Mike,
I may already be up at Camp Jordon by then, but can you call me when you get to Exit 312 in Calhoun?
That would give me time to get finished packing and meet up with you guys for the last few miles....
OR I can just meet up with you guys when you get there if I am already there.
KC I'll PM my cell to you.

will do

im leaving out early friday, pulling a trailer with parts and my 57. if anyone wants to tag along . it s ok with me.

Adjusted the clutch cable, put the front bumper back on, and did some packing. Need to give the nose and front windows a quick cleaning and finish packing tomorrow and we'll be ready to roll out. Hoping to grab a spot by the power poles. Close to all the action, but less chance of getting blocked in for dinner or breakfast runs. And nice and flat! Last year we slept at an angle

Johnval, what time are you leaving? We are heading up 75 also. We will hit it in Calhoun.

I'm already here, XD. Well I just passed it on my way back home. It's raining here. Hope that clears up by Friday :/

Its a rule if you drive a camper you carry leveling blocks. I have a nice assortment,even flat ground isn't flat. I always put a level on my bus before i land anchor to sleep or camp in it.

Pat McGuire and I are meeting around 6:30ish at the waffle house at exit of 75 and 92 (Exit 277) on the north east side of 75. I'm gonna eat me some breakfast before we go. The gates open for BAP at 8:00 so timing should be good. A little over an hour of a drive from this exit.

Anyone else wanna join?

Maybe one of these days I'll break down and buy a roof rack so I can carry a little more stuff! I don't necessarily have to have level measured accuracy, just need to be in the ballpark. I think last year, I just go to close to the fence and it starts sloping downward around that area.

they make fancy ones that are colorful and don't take a lot of space,i have been wanting to get some but the blocks work just as good. Have a safe trip up see y'all soon.

Yep, see you tomorrow. Gonna be wet Friday morning, but looks like the rest of the weekend will be nice!

Im bringing a cheap roof rack....

Due to heavy rain this year, no vehicles will be allowed in the camping area. Tents and foot traffic only. We apologize for the inconvenience, but this comes from The City of East Ridge. Vehicles will have to park outside the field or set up at the RV lot.

What is meant by outside the field? Are you referring to the paved parking lot across from the entrance gate to the field?

Yes, vehicles can park in the parking lot, just not inside the field. Or at the RV lot, which is gravel.

I understand and we will make due but that just took me down a notch.
