It's a small price to pay and worth every penny.

Couldn't agree more.............great location, great people, weather, etc.............def one of the top buggy locations in the US................

I've never been a scrapbooker, but these three little pieces of paper made wish I were. I couldn't take them off my dashboard without taking a pic first.

Can I assume that it cost money to get on the island to park for the day?
I pay $1.00 a day to access Marymoor Park, and the park police will, and have stopped to see the tickets. If you cant show them a ticket they will give you one, the cost of having it delivered by them is $75.00 a day. Much cheaper to stop at the machine and stick in a buck.

Yep. $6 a day, $28 a week, or $45 for the yearly pass in the form of a sticker on your back window that is laser-read and gets you through the express lane. The fee gets you ample parking, clean restrooms with changing rooms, outdoor showers and water fountains that are dog-friendly. It is also well patrolled and very clean. We leave the buggies out at night in the parking lot at the Kite Fort (Chris's RV) and there is never a problem. GA State Patrol is dialed in on the event and keeps a close friendly eye.

Jeff,

it's a $6 a day fee good for the whole day so you can go in and out........just keep it displayed in the window/on the dash...............Angus may have some intel on a JIBE rate perhaps........if your staying on the island I believe the hotels have a pass that trumps the pass at the gate.........but hey thanks for your $6 donation which goes towards free tuition for GA colleges and universities.............GO DAWGS!!!

I have a "Good to Go" Pass here for getting around on the freeways of the Puget Sound and Seattle. If I hang it on the back window they might let me by with only a warning.

I am looking forward to the turtles and the beach, I heard turtles taste alot like chicken.:smilegrin:I hope they aren't as tough as the ones at NABX.:rolleyes:

pbc - 25-2-2013 at 05:55 PM

Turtle tastes like plover.

bigkid - 25-2-2013 at 08:34 PM

Good to know, Plovers are a bit smaller than the game hens but then again I am on a diet. I should have room for the BBQ in the back of the truck.:lol:
I am gonna eat good on this trip, a little southern cooking with the BBQ and some Cajan seasoning, man o man, I am hungry already.

Looks like a beer issue to me. Or maybe it was just auto-correct. Either way I hope Scotty has time to have a beer.

Being a new victim of autocorrect, I guess beer was supposed to be never. I've coined a new phrase called "Freudian autocorrect". Sometimes the little box is trying to read our minds I think.

Auto correct: "S

Darned hair-triggered iPad!!!!
I was wondering if auto-correct was the forerunner of "Sky Net"?
It makes me type the word "well" twice (yup, this time too!) to avoid

Bmwbob - 4-3-2013 at 08:20 AM

ARRGGGHHH!!!!
To avoid having it come out as "we'll"!
Hmmm.... Wonder how good an iPad is as a Frisbee?

Last year I attended JIBE, what a great place and with all the physicalities it's well worth 6 bucks.
At that time the day pass was good for ever if you did not leave the island.
I did 10 days on one pass.
Looking forward to JIBE big time!

pbc - 4-3-2013 at 02:38 PM

10 days! I thought I was doing well at 5. :-)

The Kite Fort is now officially cleared for the approach by the JIA. Just need the plate number from Chris

frankiter - 15-4-2013 at 09:07 AM

Angus,
OK to leave my truck parked next to the Fort for the duration? It hasn't been a problem in the past, just double checking.
