Yes, definitely the same spot as last year. 
That is primo real estate and the Land Cruiser guys typically snag it. 

We need one of our more "seasoned members" to get there early.  You guys all wake up early anyways.  :D  O0

Boddington's or Murphy's is always a hit. I have an idea, I will have my fridge/freezer there and you are welcome to store that beer in. You won't have to buy any ice to keep it all nice and cold. It's a 63qt so you can store lots of it in there. See I'm already saving you money...........

Last year I think it opened around 11am  and I was about 8th in line.  i will be there early this year as well.  There is a waver form that you can download on their site, that you can fill out in advance.  When they line up at the desk, if you got your paper work ready, you can just grab and go.  Maybe swoop a couple trucks that way >:D

I am so glad to see so many guys going early, those Jeepers can get squirrely ::)

Somebody needs to bring a banner, I left one with Knightrider last year.

YO!  MRV, I need my seasoned citizens to wake up EARLY and grab us this SPOT!
Randy, Eric, Tim, you know the drill.  Up early - primo spot!  Same as last year - less bears. 
GAURD that territory! 

(Toyotas are after this spot - EVEN LEXUS's!

Randy, Eric - etc!  We have a bunch of Nissan people coming this year and our section needs consolidated representation!
Beats and prunes in it for everyone in line before 10am.  (I think that should do it)

Post by: knightrider on August 07, 2017, 01:47:15 PM
It's roughly around the same time of the year, not a specific date tho.  elevation is about 6500' and temps are normally pretty mild, probably 70's during the day, 50's at night.

Saturday night is the dutch oven competition and potluck.  most people just do their own things for the other nights but we have enough people where planning meals could be nice.

When you say " dutch oven competition and potluck" thats is for all 150 people/units/trucks, right not just the sectioned off Xterras?  How many Xterras should end up grouped together?  Are we expecting anyone from the "Book of Face" group to join as well?

Potluck competition is for the entire AAV event.
If you cook, you get to eat first.  Prize for dutch oven comp is usually a Tembo Tusk Skottle as Jerry typically sponsors the event.  (deserts and mains are separated with mains winning the Skottle and deserts winning some other prize.  I can't remember what that is off the top of my head)

According to the list on the first page of this post, we have 17 trucks from our group and related groups coming.  (people we know)

If we can snag the same spot as last year, we should be fine on space. 

If you end up hungry after the Dutch Oven competition, you're doing it wrong

I'll be getting on the road really late :( Looks like I'm going to be stuck at work until 4:00 pm or so today. Other than jockeying for a spot, what are the major downsides to showing up at 6:00 or 6:30 pm? Am I better off to just wait until Saturday morning?

Not that I can think of.  Come on out, we'll have a spot saved for you.  RHIP

See ya there.

Thanks for the excellent photos Andrew, and for making the long drive so that we could enjoy your and Jennie's company.

See ya in AZ.

And thanks to Tony, Tim, Joe and everyone who slaved over a grill or pot.  I also want to thank the guys (sorry, I keep forgetting names) who made the evening so nice with the propane fire pits.  Finally thanks for a great time and looking out for my dog, Ziva.

Joe and Morgan with the fire pits. Which reminds me; I have a great idea. With some folks (not naming RDBuffer) having trouble with names, what about if the next time we do something to aid our (often aging) memories? Like, use name tags! We could just use the sticky type, and maybe would could have one tag with our forum nickname and another with our real name. We could even take it a step further and use the opportunity to do "ice breaker" activities, like sharing something unusual about yourself, or name your favorite hobby :)

Beyond this idea to make the next outing even better, I also want to thank everyone who cooked and otherwise helped pull this off, we had a great time and look forward to the next round.

Andrew, if you've done a post somewhere on how and with what equipment you got those shots, pleeeeeease post a pointer.  Unbelievable how you got so many different areas of the pic exposed so beautifully.  Your compositions just highlight how awesome you are getting the lighting.
