Im pretty sure Im going. Chunk and Stu are also going if Chunk can get that friday the 6th off of work. Blake and Todd have not confermed either. They will come if they have enough Ca$h. Couple of others talking about it but.... so we have anywhere from 1-8 RPM members going. :-\

 :) I'd like to come too, but I'd have to drive the Tracker out. Thats not a problem unless I tear it up and can't drive it home! Does anyone know if they have camping there or are we going to take over a local motel?

You can camp on site.

Weve seen other rigs tag allong before. Just warn the cherokee people that the may get a little ribbin. A bronco went through camp last year and got boo'ed the whole way through. It was all in good fun. Nobody was serious, zuk owners are pretty laid back. 8)

Hey, come on out.  We're not only driving out Tracker out, we're pulling our camper with it.  Not planning on doing anything extreme, but we always have fun.  There's usually someone with an empty seat you can ride along with.

Bummer,  was hoping to hook up again.


I am going to have to leave early this year, as I have a race (auto-x) scheduled on the 8th.... so I guess I will be leaving Saturday night for the drive home.

Still, worth the trip.

So is everybody staying at the badlands campground?  no beer in the park :'(
Title: Re: Zukimelt Anybody else going?

I usually stay at the Holiday Inn in Crawfordsville Thursday-Sunday

There are other hotels in Attica, and surrounding areas too.

I am not sure if folks drink alcohol at the campgrounds or not... someone will chime in I am sure to clarify, but I don't drink, so I never bothered to find out.

I for one am SUPER glad that no alcohol is allowed inside the Badlands, but the campground itself isn't actually inside the Badlands grounds, it's on the entry road into the area, so like I said, not sure if beer is allowed in the campgrounds.... a simple search of the Attica Family Campground site would prolly tell ya though..

Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to make it... BUMMER

Trying to buy a house, and the Turtle needs repair, and I am broke from fees and downpayments..

Take lots of pictures, the Turtle and I will be there in spirit.

Hey there all, just to help clarify a bit on the "adult beverages" inside the campgrounds.  You can have them in the campgrounds ONLY!  But, please be responsible.  The staff at the Attica Family Campgrounds lets us slide a little with this rule, because it is such a large event, but please let's not make them regret it. 
The Badlands it's self DOES NOT allow alcohol on the grounds.  There will be cooler checks at the gates, and if you do sneak some in and are caught, you will be asked to leave the event period!   We have never had to ask anyone to leave in the past, and don't really want to start having to.

The last word I got was that there are PLENTY of tent camping spots left.  The sites with hookups usually go fast, as there isn't as many of them.

If anyone has any more questions about the melt, please feel free to send me a PM and I'll do my best to help out!  Would love to see you all there!
