Talked with Tony Friday while he was installing a heater in my garage. He is going to have someone handle the check in. This person is an employee of Tony's and not a wheeler. For admittance, you MUST have the admittance paperwork I sent you after payment. Only the person listed on the paperwork and their passengers will be admitted on the paperwork. Also be prepared to show your drivers license for identification. I will be happy to change names on the admittance paperwork as needed PRIOR to the event. I need the persons name this is currently on the paperwork to contact me and give me the new name and also the number on the bottom of the admittance paperwork. If the name does not match, don't be pissed at me when you are turned away at registration, you have been warned. There will no no other off road vehicles allowed in the park, except in the parking area. You cannot bring multiple vehicles to ride under one admittance paper.
The gate to the park will be closed at dark. A gate code will be provided if you need to leave and re-enter after dark.
If you plan to bring a motorhome or travel trailer and require power, there are 4 30 amp hookup at the barn and a couple more 15 amp plugs. These are first come first serve. There will be admittance allowed on Thursday for motorhomes / travel trailers only. Send me a PM on or after Monday (2-23) for the gate code. I will not have it prior to Monday morning. Thursday is for camper setup only, absolutely no riding.
Other than for camper setup. The ride starts at 8AM Friday and ends at 5PM Sunday.
We have the use of the barn for repairs, bathrooms. There is one shower also. There is a welder in the barn. There is a large gas grill at the barn I donated years ago, feel free to use it. It is around back behind the kitchen. One thing you need to know about Tony. He shares freely, but he is a clean freek. If you track dirt in, find a broom. If you spill fluids, find the oil dry. This place will be spotless when we arrive. It MUST remain spotless during our stay and when we leave.
I still have to get with Keith Bailey on the night riding restrictions. I know we can NOT ride the following trail AREAS. Poison Rock, Box of Possoms, Tub Rock, Mine JB, Bump & Grind. The reason is the neighbor's, please keep noise to a minimum at night. I will either have a map marked of night riding areas or caution tape it off. Not sure yet. Please honor this or there will not be a possibility of future night riding. I have seen night riding rarely allowed at GrayRock, so we need to be on our best behavior. If you see someone not, please say something.
As to litter, don't!!!!! Cigarette butts are litter and is one of Tony's pet peeves. No glass outside of camp. No glass or cans in camp fires. Use trash bags you bring. I will also have some at the RV if needed. The park should be pretty free of trash, but if you see some out on the trails, stop and pick it up. We want to leave it better than when we arrive.
The main gathering place for the weekend will be at Tony's shop (called the barn). It is the first left coming in the gate before you get to registration at the pavillion. It will be best, space wise, to park trucks and trailers either past the pavillion or to left at pavillion past the wishing well. Feel free to park unloaded rigs in this area, but keep the roads open, and IF muddy, do not go behind the barn to keep the gravel clean. If you park at the barn, come there and unload, then go check in at registration. Do NOT block the roll up doors going into the barn, not even for a short period.
I will lead a ride on both Friday and Saturday mornings. Will leave the barn at 9AM or close both mornings. If you want to ride with us, just show up. We will probably ride till lunch and return back to the barn. I will also lead a ride to the river Saturday afternoon leaving at about 2PM, again if you want to go, just show up. Cable Hill on Saturday afternoon after the River Ride for those that want it. We will probably be on Cable Hill till a little after dark. There are no formal "guided rides" you are own you own.
Main thing, we are guests on Tony's property. Treat is as such. Act right!!!!!! Simple as that!!!!!!! Your $75 fee, did not get you maid service. Make sure your camp is clean when you leave. There is a dumpster on the road leaving. Do not leave trash, bagged or not, at your campsite.
I will go see Keith Bailey this next week. If you have any specific questions, let me know and I will get the answer.
