John,

I need one with an electronic keyless entry door system so I dont get stuck half in half out like someone else we know (Sleepy??)

I wont be alone this trip, bringing a friend up for the first Nall event he's been too so some space for fartin and snorin is important.

Kiwi, I was just out at Wally World. For a cabin tent that is big enough to stand up in. (Well for you it might not be quite tall enough) You are looking at around $75.

So, where you gonna put all this "Stuff" when you leave kiwi?

Be happy to store it for you .. .perhaps air it out a few times during the year to keep it in good working order. . .

One thing we NEED to do .. designate a non-Camp Jackass area of the Ez-Up tent city as the spot where the FG crew will congregate and throwup their shelters. This thing of everyone being scattered all over the flightline is kind of time consuming, not to mention tiring, when you want to go to someone elses spot for a while. I figure with 3-deep and 10 wide we should be able to accomodate most of the FG crew in one spot.

Anyone want to take a shot at staking out a spot for the Crew? Sayy y y y right of Center?

Yea but then it looks like a clique instead of spreading the FG love all over the NALL.

I think by infiltrating all over the flight line.. by the end of the week, we would have MANY MANY MORE CONVERTS!

It's not a clique. . its a Brotherhood. And the finest RC brotherhood I am aware of. I'm just tired of walking a half mile up and down that flightline (especially with my knee giving me problems lately) I'll be shooting for just right of center. At least I'll be closer to Camp Jackass and the facilities this year.

I still cant believe it survived the huckfest when we had those tornado like conditions and the heaviest rain I have ever seen anywhere, I stayed nice and dry that night.

On another note, I think I am gonna go invade LongNuts and Beaver's camping area. Seems to be alot quieter over there! And my campsite has since been overtaken by campjackass.
Just remember not to tent too close to TheTank. Sounded like he had a chainsaw going all night!

You do not need to register if you are staying on the grounds. However, there is a $10.00 a nite camping charge. One Wed - Sat there is also a $5.00 per day specator fee.

If you have any more questions please feel free to pm me or you may email me at lmckinney@continentalengines.com.

Hope this helps!
