T-minus 26 hours and I'm on the road! Equipment checked and re-checked what else is there to do but to sit and wait? Oh, I guess there's always work.

Doh. Still need to pack the car tonight... heh. Course, the wife wants to do some last minute shopping. Figured it would work better if I didnt have a trunk full of buggy stuff BEFORE went shopping. Groceries fit a little bit better...

Hey Todd- are you guys bringing your water boards/gear as well? I was debating, and hadnt decided yet... Just wonderin...

No water boards this trip... dedicated to the Buggy Bash only.

Sounds fair to me. I was considering it, but I havent been in a buggy in months. One less thing to pack.

I'm so jealous, one more talk with my folks tonight but I don't think it's going to work out.

I just booked my rooms at the Apollo. I'll be there Friday morning. Can't wait to see everybody.

Hey Power what happened, thought you were in there...?

Power,

Tell 'em at home not to worry about you. You need to stay over with someone whose bringing his family. That way, the mom/wife can tell 'em she'll keep you from finding trouble!

She can even borrow their hair brush, hickory stick, or whatever they use at home to keep you in line! :roll:

is it friday yet.
nice stunt kite!!! can you buggy with it?????

Don, short notice, but if you bring one of those 'rope' light set ups in GREEN of course, I'll surely buy it from you!

No short notice Bob, just spoke with him and he will have a green set for you. For those not knowing about the rope lights try this out
Kite Light

Several sets will be available

Will be so cool for a night fly! If I dare!

EDIT: I prolly shoulda got pink, but the green fits the theme!

Thats awesome. I bet that will look pretty wild to see a few of these streaming down the beach in the middle of the night...

night buggying is cool
i did it many times at nabx.
for those of you wanting to try it.
try this next time your day buggying.
when its safe. close your eyes and see how long you can go without opening your eyes.
i did that too at nabx. its really wild buggying with your eyes closed.

How much are those lights? I have several sets of lights for the single line kites. But nothing to play with the buggy and power kites.

Hey guys, I'm a newbe and can not wait to get there to learn and and have fun with the family. I do have one question? is anyone bringing a grill? I am coming a long way and would not want to lug one there if someone else might have one already. I got chicken, dogs, and beef

Camper is loaded, trailer is loaded, just need to hook up the truck in the morn and heading out by 10 am. I should be there around 2-3 pm. Really getting STOKED! Can't wait to see everyone!

Kids are also excited they look forward to the trip as well!

See you all soon!

I have a grill but it is not really portable enough to bring. But I will bring charcoal and a funnel lighter.

Welcome to the bunch LostFox1, I just remembered that the Apollo has a grill but I don't know if it's set up yet. I'll ask tomorrow when I check in then give you a call. I would be down for a good BBQ in the evening.

I'll be bringing a portable gas grill that people are welcome to use.

Thanks Ben, that goose is welcome to show up as well :evil:
