We knew this event was going to be awesome when we started planning it last October. The list of quality companies is extremely impressive, better than we could have hoped for. We have managed to gather together in one place the most innovate people in the business. I don't think I've seen a crowed like this since attending SEMA.
The cherry on the cake for us is that Scott Brady will be joining us!!! For those of you who know how busy Scott is right now, with the Overland Journal and all his professional driving, it's a great honor that he would take the time to sit around the camp fire with us.
Thanks also to all of you who have offered to help us out putting this event on. Don't worry there are plenty of jobs for everyone!
I'll keep you posted as things change.

It is a primitive campground, during the year the only thing that is there is 2 Porta Potties! It's just a large expanse of beach and people camp where every they like. Nothing is organized in a campground sense.Mayne said:
I'm heading out there this Thursday and I'll post pictures so you can get a feel for the place.
