I agree with Pluvo about camping up top so not having to move. For all you experienced Fat Tirers is there a reason not to do this?

Only one I can think of: You have to be at the start (where the first camp is) very early in the AM (7am) if I remember right. I don't know if I would trust people with my stuff, if I'm not there either.

I'll be at start camp again this year, but don't have a time in mind as of yet, depends on when I can get away from work, etc. I'd prefer to caravan, if I still have any issues mechanically, but that doesn't look feasible right now.

Yeaa - it's a good 1h15min+ drive from the Top camp to the Bottom. So for a 7am start that means leaving early from Top camp. 65 miles across country (Direct Route) but by road it's a little further.

With the possibility of copius amounts of MUD this year, I'd say your time is conservative.

Last year, Dan's nephew stayed at the end camp to guard everyone's stuff. As for myself, I won't get up to Flagstaff until 8:00 PM or so on Friday. With this in mind, I'll be camping at the start camp. If you camp at end camp on Friday, you'll have a lot of driving to do early Saturday morning because we all have to meet at the start before the run, so Marchall can assign our staging points.

I for one plan to camp at start camp, and wheel all the course. I'm good to go for whatever I'm needed to do .

after some careful consideration, I'm gonna camp at the start Friday, then at the finish Saturday...mainly to avoid driving an extra 130+ miles.
Oil is coming down, but not that much.
