[Andyman_1970]

I'm off work that Friday, I may just have to drive up there with the Blur and ride for the day......................

 

[Frankenschwinn]

I too will be there. I lok forward to meeting some other monkeys...

 

[skin6061]

he'll i'm down also, it'll be good to meet some other people and to ride with the regulars also. Plus i got some new found confidience and i'm eyeing that finish line gap once again. I'll clear it this time or hit the tree trying.

 

[Sherpa]

We (Jesse,Eric, and I) will go out the weekend before and make sure the DH track is ready to go.

I'll be there.

 

[ctrailfreak]

I'm down for some DevilsDen action! Sounds like a fun trip to me!

 

[laura]

[Cooter Brown]

Listen here you carpet-baggin' Sooner-Beaker, you had your chance to change the date last week! :mumble:

Seriously, that's a bummer mang. Not that I am the center of the universe or anything, but I can't make it down there before that weekend (training for that trail marathon and then the race itself) and I will probably have to work the weekend after the 2-4 (somebody else couldn't make it the next weekend either). After that and it is getting hot and tick-tastic.

I guess we will have to add a second Arkansas Monkey Fest in the fall.

The only thing left to deal with is camping. There are two options...
(1) camp in the national forest (free, no facilities)
(2) camp in the state campground (costs $10 per nite/site, has bathrooms and showers)

I think that my wife is coming along to hang out so that means that I will probably get a campsite in the State Park. I will call and check on availability when I get a chance.

I would want to camp there as well. I like to shower.

 

[skin6061]

i pefer to camp in the national forest for free and use the park toliets and showers for free. Only thing you have to do is buy food and ice. see problem diverted

While that sounds fine to me, my wife would rather walk a short distance to shower and use the toilet (and pay for the privilege).

For what it is worth, it is only a short ride from the State Park to the Natl. forest. It is no big deal to camp at one and still be able to drop in on folks at the other (that is if you don't fall asleep at 7:30, shutup Cooter!).

 

[skin6061]

also don't forget to bring riding lights, the last time we had a trip there alot of people did some Dh runs at 11:30 i think it's going to become a tradition from now on. I will be participating this time

 

[Cooter Brown]

yes, and there's a haunted helmet lurking in the woods around devil's den too, rumor has it, it's still drunk and pissed off cuz it can't find more beer

 

[golgiaparatus]

SW fest sounds great to me... Devils Den isnt really a monkeyfest worthy spot in my opinion. I would suggest Greenleaf State Park, good camping right near trailhead, totally epic and amazing riding, etc, etc.

Either way I'll likely be there.

Nice timing! Where were you last week when we were picking a place? :eviltongu :nonono:

Suggest that place when we talk about the fall Arky-Monkeyfest.

Green leaf is VERY primitive right now. The back section was mostly unrideable when I was there last. It has been a couple of months though.

DD has lots of trails and a DH course as well.

 

[skin6061]

for the fall akie fest i suggest potue, probably has ****ty camping but if you and your toes survive the run you have something to brag about.

Does Poteau have XC riding too or is it all DH?

I plan on riding both at DD and I know there are some folks who will only ride XC.

There are a couple of folks that will like it. At least I didn't post it on DORBA. uch:

I will be there! I just booked campsite #5, area A (in case anyone else wants to reserve sites near that one).

Am I right in assuming that Cooter and Frankenschwinn and the lot will be at the usual spot in the Natl. Forest?

 

[Cooter Brown]

definite maybe

Anyone want to take odds on who will "stosh" this event? :evil:
