We might want to consider an alternate location. There is anouther campgroung about 8 miles away according to the Badlands website. It looks like it has a lot less rules....

Just a thought.
X2 on that one. I grew up close to Attica. There are a lot of other campgrounds in the area. I plan on having my cooler full of guinness. That would be out at the badlands campground.

Damn! With all you guys going to Badlands it has the potential to be wayyyyyyyy more fun than the Jamboree. Unfortunately, Jamboree is paid for. Oh well, see yall at the August run.

My cousin and his girlfriend just traded in her car on a blue TJ Unlimited.

I invited them to join us, but he declined and told me I was crazy for taking mine playing.
That boy just doesn't know what he is missing. If my wife and kids pass, I may bring my cousin and his girlfriend as passengers.

kinda sound like he's a mall crawler, he really doesn't know what he is missing. I'm running a liberty and it's supposed to be a pavement princess

Very nicely put! Did you get to see the video from last weekend kjrunner?

Oh and sixty, it's an LJ just in case he didn't already know.

What do I need to bring other than food personal stuff?

Does the hitch work for a tow point? I have hooks in front...

Should I bring boots etc for if/when I get stuck?

Can someone help me air down tires or should I pick up my own tool to do so?

Sorry for all the q's just am really looking forward to the outing and don't want to overlook a very simple thing that could make it a better time had I only thought it through...Thanks!
It looks like Warlock answered just about all your questions. The plan is to meet at the badlands either 8 or 9. I am still trying to get in touch with Kyle to ask again about the early registration. We will all air down and have a driver's meeting/quick how to...for newbies/talk about other things and then be split off into groups for a few hours. We will meet back at a place to be determined and shuffle groups as needed. There will be more to it, but hope this helps clear a little up.
