Since the guy who I thought was gonna do MY t-shirts flaked on me, count me in for one of those in XL.

I do however have some really cool artwork in the event I ever get to do something like this again.

Camping update:
For those arriving late/early and doing primitive tent(no hook ups)...... You can set up at any time regardless if the office is open or not. They ask you be respectful of others when setting up late/early and just settle up when the office opens.
I plan on arriving early Friday, about 8am. I'll set up camp and unload all my crap so i dont have to wheel with it in my truck.

You Northern cats do things a bit different than we do in the South.

All participants must display an orange safety flag. SUV/4x4?s must have the flag at least two feet above the highest point of the vehicle (not just the roof).
Looks like I'll have to figure something out for this shit.

No alcohol, illegal drugs, firearms, or weapons are allowed on BadlandsTM property. No person may be under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any substances that may hinder thinking ability or reaction time. Coolers will be checked prior to entering the Park.
I'm fine with 3/4 but I NEED my barley pops. Doesn't sound right saying "Hold my Coke."

And my favorite:
Everyone is required to wear a shirt and closed shoes.
WTF is that about? I didn't know I was going to have to go back to school shopping just to run some old rock quarry

Haha, yeah we're so refined up here. :)
-I have 1 spare flag on a pole. Otherwise they sell flags at the park, or a $3 bike flag from Walmart works.
-You used to saying "hold my Zima"? :D
-Rock the half shirt. Hell its gonna be 86 on Sunday, bust out the bannana hammock!

Attica is the only place I've ever been with the flag rule.

Cliffs in IL has the flag rule, too. Guess I'm just used to it.
I bought a Bell bicycle flag and cut the flag off the pole. I installed two grommets in the orange flag. I zip tie it to my CB antenna. Done.

In the sandy/pea gravel dune area the bikes can really zip around and there's a couple blind hills. I personally feel they should use the flags but whatever.

Well...I'm all loaded up and ready to hit the road. I've got a few things left to do around StL and I'll be gone. Who is going to be there tonight? I'll be in about 1:00am.

I just left about 20 minutes ago, plan on setting up camp real quick about 8am before the park opens. We'll split into groups based on number of trucks and trail difficulty.
