so last year we booked what i would call "late" after thanksgiving. still got a good RV, but there are easier options available if booked early. like they will deliver a 5th wheel camper out to the lake bed for you, and pick it up after you leave.
we had a 4dr Taco along with the RV and that worked out great, any awd with better than car ground clearance should do. we flew into LAX, picked up the truck, and drove 2h towards the lakebed where we picked up the RV, then another hour drive out after a walmart stocking run. can we get enough ppl to need multiple RVs? |

It sounds like a group of us from the wheelers will be trying to form a trip as well. I know Hubble, Jeremiah and Alan will probably be in, not sure about Dice, Caldwell, or Socha at this point.
We're looking into a rental RV or a travel trailer that includes drop off / pick up. Probably fly in / out of Vegas and spend a night there on either end of KOH. Have KOH 2020 dates been set yet? I searched the other day and didn't come up with anything.

i wasn't able to find the dates
that'd be cool to see old wheelers, but those guys were never my group we could set up a circle of RVs, lots of desert available. more ppl makes it easier to set up fires n such at night. Last edited by 6DoF; 03-14-2019 at 12:49 PM. |

Yeah, I get that. I ended up becoming pretty good friends with them in the later years. I stood in Jeremiah's wedding.
A big group out there would be a lot of fun though.

My plans will be discussed over EJS and COBDR this year...likely put solid plans together this fall. SRT8 (my buddy Pat) is looking to race in the Every Man Challenge, so he may be driving out...not sure I'll be able to take that much time off, but I'm going to get there in 2020!

So, Pat bought a buggy a few months ago, is competing in Crandon over Labor day for a qualifying spot...hoping to be up there to sit in the pit while it all goes down. Things turned into a shytshow w/ camping and whatnot, and my boss is what she is, I can't get that Friday afternoon off so I'm hoping it all still works out that I make it up there...anyway, KOH 2020...
Yes, I'm in. While I'd love to ride out w/ Pat in his rig, I'll likely fly out and rent a Jeep for a few days, fly home. I have limited time off, and a lot of other trips I want to do, including continuing EJS shortly after KOH. Once dates and races are figured out, and depending on whether Pat qualifies in two weeks or not, I'll be on it in a heartbeat! Gonna make sure I'm there in time for whatever race he gets into, or there to get in on the most debauchery I'll know more after Labor Day's events.

so what i'm getting is that Brian, you'd be staying with your other buddy to help him run then?
James, would you be camping with us? Is there NO ONE ELSE going to go with us? |

Yep, I'll be hanging w/ Pat. Sounds like we may have a few other guys as well, but I'll be there.

Yeah one of the guys knocked up his wife so I think the whole group backed out
I guess it isn't out of the question...we were looking into a rental camper to get parked on the lakebed for our time out there. Seems like it was going to be relatively cheap...hundred bucks a night per person maybe?

last year we got an RV n drove it in, plan to do the same this year. it was only a few bucks more, lets us move it, and lets us stay in town off the lake bed the night before our flights. just trying to get a count of how many for how big of an RV. But like you, i might be on my own n just catching up with Brian's group, worst case we can split the RV. |
