One mad dog, Hamshog

[mskellylynn]

So excited! Headed to el dorado I very shortly!!!! who's going to karaoke tonight?!?!?!?!

[sfgiantsbella650]

So they totally searched all of our bags!!! We had to put booze in water bottles. Still trying to figure out how to get beer in.

[sfgiantsbella650]

This was in forum

[shrtrdg]

MORNING happy campers!
Live from the Cyber Cafe in ED1!

Quiet night........couldnt quite hear the karaoke from my trailer...so that was nice. Not too many loud drunks.

the shower trailers are pretty nice. showered etc inside. sinks out front for brushing teeth etc.

Weather is slight breeze and SUNNY with slight overcast but not much.

ED1 is getting pretty full. They are letting people take END spots on rows,,so if you are coming later, you MAY have to fit between two people who are already in place.

The karaoke was in the cantina in ED1 ...YES camper wristbands are a MUST. They are serving breakfast over there and I am going to check it out.

Sunday brunch there has a band called Petty Cash ..........

Check in with ya later!!

[RAGEcoach55]

So they totally searched all of our bags!!! We had to put booze in water bottles. Still trying to figure out how to get beer in.

no way?! They didn't care at all last year... we just walked right in with two 36 packs each!! Maybe it just depnds on who is working the gate at the time you arrive???

[KUZN EDY]

I parked my rig in ED1 last night. Got there about 7pm and it took about an hour before i parked it. People are parking pretty much where ever they want. Its probably gunna make it hard for the rest of the people who come in today/tonight/tomorrow. I got a great spot right on the end in the middle of camp. These spots are running out or gone by the time you read this. Still had NO POWER to the hook ups when i left this morning. Pretty bummed that i paid $750 for electricity and had to run my generater last night for power. It seems that the first 3/4 of the people who showed up have power but not where im at. They said it should be fixed today. Dont bother asking anyone working the event for directions, information, or advice because 95% of the people who are working there have no idea what is going on. They are told their job (stand here and do this) and dont know anything else but that specific task. The only people that halfway know whats happining are the people driving the golf carts or with radios. Also the free parking/tow vehicle is all fugged up. If you are planning on parking here or have people showing up later you must get a pass for the "C" lot. The only way to get this pass is to get in the RV line or cut ahead and ask the guy directing RV's into the ED areas for this pass. And there is no direct gate from this parking lot to ED1, so you have to walk all the way down to where you entered. Just a heads up if your bringing a lot of stuff with you. OK besides all that not so good stuff... WE HAD A BLAST LAST NIGHT PARTYING WITH EVERYONE!!!!! This is the coolest thing i have done in long time and it was only the first night.... My neighbors set up a band on top of their RV and are playing tonight at 6pm. I hope this helps anyone who reads it.

[PD Resident]

Good takes on those who posted from here.

Yes, it was a fun night all around.

Seems like we got lucky when we arrived. No lines to get our rig in. I was in, parked and set-up in no time. Hopefully those that come in today/tomorrow will have a smooth experience.

The karaoke bar was fun. There were actually some really good singers and lots of women dancing:D

We stayed up hanging out with friends until 3AM. Time for coffe and breakfast now.

[carslikes2party]

we are on the 210 about 70 miles away. woo hoo

[onebadcountryboy2613]

So they totally searched all of our bags!!! We had to put booze in water bottles. Still trying to figure out how to get beer in.

that sucks, well if you figure something out let me know, i won't be comin in until aroun 6 or 7, did they go through your cooler too??

[sfgiantsbella650]

In the forum they are searching absolutely everything. We couldn't bring in water bottles that we had just walked out with. Also they are physically searching your body patdown style...a girl is calling the cops on security right now...sounds like eldorado may have been the way to go...

[Rose]

I'm heading out the door right now!!! see you all soon

[onebadcountryboy2613]

what are they doin if they do find booze?? what if you refuse the search, have you seen that yet. legally you do not have to allow them to search without the presense of a warrant. sorry if thats too much i am just trying to figure this out, i will i assure you, i am much smarter than the average person and my job is all about problem solving.

[KC4avon]

nice day today, bit windy, but cooled off...gotta finish working, then go play...see y'all here....look for the upside down smiley face flag in RV window & small
Stagecoach Redneck Cluster Fun sign....first row ADA ED1....
Jello for dinner...ha ha

[onebadcountryboy2613]

i'm sending a mass text to those on the spreadsheet to let them know what goin on, let me know if anything changes, expecially about the girl who called the po po on the security guard, that may be a saving grace for us. they have to have legal right to search to that extent, i'm not positive if they have that right or not, it all depends on their legal status.

[onebadcountryboy2613]

oh yeah, i'm a cop by the way, lol

[Shodyjean]

On our way now.. no now, no now....

[Strunkas]

I'm here finalllllly everyonnneee suppppper stoked. Not in the best conditionnn but I'm hannginn in there

[BRIANNA_TAMARA]

BE THERE SOON..... CANT WAIT.... WOO HOO......

[onebadcountryboy2613]

[onebadcountryboy2613]

they have every right to pat you down and search whatever you are bringing in.

[Kymery]

Some cops are telling people that they can't walk around with liquor and must be within your camping spot. We were asked/reminded that we better have water in our cups, with a smile on his face. So they are a bit strickter this year...but all is good! Parties were hopping last night...feeling the after affects still. grrrrr

[BlueAngel25]

Leaving right now from San Diego!! Be camping in the Forum, hit me up if you wanna party! 619-318-6803

[TwoSteppinStac]

Hey Y'all,

Two Steppin' Stac here. I am a SC virgin and cannot make it once again this year. I am livin the experience through you fine people so keep the updates (and cocktails) coming. I spend a ton of time in the desert and unfortunately cannot make it out there this weekend.

Cheers to You!

[shrtrdg]

Update at 1236!!!

Not a lot of tents in tent camping. I just rode my bike over there. Maybe 50-75 tents and a giant open space.

They are selling pizza and mexican food over there.

I just rode my bike in and out and could have had some booze in my basket and they couldnt have said SH@#

Weather is BEAUTIFUL.......partly sunny and about 80 somthing

There are some major drinking set ups in ED1.....so if you have a drinking problem....you can bring your booze to my place for storage : ) I have a baby wagon to hook to my bike and they dont search anyting coming into ED1

Come over here later to party if you have a problem in tent camping.

There is a group of rigs here with a set up that has 6 Beer Bongs all hooked up.....yeah..not alcohol ;)

[Strunkas]

We are right across from dj, red truck is parked next to us. We just got oour poool filled up too =]

[Strunkas]

Okayy so so far they are not super strict, we haven't gotten searched or anything. As far as drinks people are walking around with bottles and cans and no one has said a word...bbqing and people aren't sayinnn a word. I'm sure its just because its friday and not actual event day but, everything seems to be running smooth=] had a dj across from us last night it was definetly fun timesss, and YESSS I'm paying for that shit today..I'm not doinnn so hot yalll.

[onebadcountryboy2613]

they have every right to pat you down and search whatever you are bringing in.

i thought i put "im not sure if they actually have the right to search or not" but i guess i didn't, is it actual cops there or just rent a cop security??

[shrtrdg]
