Anyone planning on camping out this year again? I think previous years they stayed some where near rocky neck if not mistaken. Would be a good spot to camp and swap stories and beer.

Any objections to me coming by again this year? (I'd probably be looking to camp out as well :cool: )

Aaron and I will be there again. We show up friday, off road saturday, and go to the show all muddy on sunday. Anyone and everyone is more than welcome to join. The campsites we book are at the Egret site in the Rocky Neck State park. The trails I lead on saturday are non-damaging but entertaining, I've been on all of them in a stock 109 on street tires. Depending on the group that shows up we can head for some more challenging stuff if interested.
Here is a video of the weekend last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43eM9zeegdU&list=UUlF9KjsDKYcG6XdaktJn3mA&index=4

hope to see some of you guys there!

Thanks for the video link, very cool show and those cars bring back a lot of memories. We have an "all British Field meet" in Alberta every year that alternates between Edmonton and Calgary, Edmonton this year.

OK, looked at the site but still have questions. If I'm going just to look at the cars and visit w/ other rover folks what do you register for?. I will likely be driving a S1 with a few different shades of red on it and not looking to enter it in any contest.

You register so you can park with all the Land Rovers. Oh, and so the event organizers get your money. You don't need to pre-register, you can register at the gate.

When are people going down there? I'd like to add it to the Club Event Calendar, as well as my personal calendar if I'm able to make it.

I will not be able to attend the weekend this year, as I will be on Sapelo Island, GA taking a summer biology course (rough life, i know...)
BUT
My dad will be going, he will be camping out at Rocky Neck and will be driving our newly refurbished Stage 1 if all goes as planned. He's staying in Egret 10, so book sites around there! You all better take pictures!
-Rob

also, in regards to the hotel, I have no experience of any one in the area personally, there is a motel right across the street from the campsite the Rocky Neck Inn and Suites: http://www.rockyneckinn-niantic.com
The campground does have power hook up, beach access, and hot showers...

that is in the air, unfortunately no one seems to know the trails, but I may have a friend who can, who recently reacquired his discovery. I will talk with Aaron some more about this, I can make a detailed map for anyone willing to lead in case my friend cannot do it.

My dad will be in Egret 10, and hopefully he will be driving our newly refurbished stage 1.

to all going, take lots of pictures! I will be present next year.

anyone interested in meeting up with the group for trails, meet at the Crystal Mall in Waterford CT at 10:00 am, Aaron's number is eight six zero 884 zero two 73

As for my dad, the stage 1 is super duper close to completion but my dad told Forrest not to rush so i'm not sure it will be present. but here are some teaser pics:

I'm currently in the Summerland Key of FL, chasing iguanas in my free time and doing other sciency stuff for school the rest of the (coastal and estuarine ecology specifically)
to all going, takes lots of pics and sorry I can't make it.
