Why? Larry's rig will be lonely now!
P.S. We're still thinking about it.
The problem really is timing... It looks like we might have to make a Sunday arrival and with as close in as they get, maneuvering 40' of truck and trailer into that typical area they're in, might be hours worth of work.
Throw in wet weather and it's be an unwanted adventure for the history books, even with 4x4. (6x6)
Plus with the truck being a long bed dually, we're thinking to be "fair" we'd really need to purchase two campsites so we can keep the truck out of the road. We'd of course "donate" any extra space to the overall Bacon contingent and I don't have any problem with that... but two sites is a little spendy doing them early.
I'm still tempted to do it anyway. I can afford it. It's not the money. But my rational side says I can spend that $500 elsewhere on the grounds and enjoy it more. Or just help someone with their cookout expenses, or whatever. Maybe just buy a crapload of beer and sodas to share. I'd rather give back in some fashion.
If we can swing a Saturday arrival, that'd be better. Friday would be perfect. But right now it's not looking like that'll work. We will be there all week, though, come hell or high water.
And while I *know* without a doubt that Larry is the mastermind he is AND if I were to ask if he could figure out a way to make it possible to maneuver 40' of crap into Bacon on Sunday, he would do it... I don't ever impose like that. He's busy enough as it is.
Crazy wonderful Larry. I swear on my life he's honestly one of the nicest people I've ever met.
Another funnier thought... I usually lose about five pounds just walking at OSH. Getting in closer could totally ruin that. Ha.
So we'll probably just arrive when we arrive and head south until we find two spots worth of campsite and set up our own little compound. One of the other Denver folks + kid have already called dibs on the "living room" of the 5th wheel, but if someone is looking for a place to pop up a tent later I the week, we'll probably have some extra room on the truck side of the trailer.
And margaritas. And beer. And sodas. And generator / power strips. And an air conditioner that probably won't amount to much but will give the impression of coolness whenever we decide to crank up the generator. Ha.
The RGB LED light strip from China/eBay just showed up, too... So if I get time to install it under the awning, we'll even have disco lights.
And even a fat sweaty guy. Just for EdFred.
