Be advised, though we are having this rally in mid-April, for those who haven't been there before, the location is on top of a high ridge-line, and the nights there get COLD. A couple times there was light snow present at some time during the weekend. If you plan on sleeping overnight there, in a tent or in the back of your truck, pack clothes and a sleeping bag as you planned to camp in the WINTER. You can always dress down if it warms up, but be prepared.
I plan to bring some firewood (we always seem to bring more than we burn, but I got TONS of fallen timber around here and no way to use it up), and maybe I can snag a M101 trailer to camp out of there, rather than try to fold myself into the back end of my Dodge. Last time doing that my back was killing me from being curled into a pretzel.

Do they still have those straw pads to put a tent on?

Don't bring the Jeep. Bring the Jeep in the Deuce! YJ's fit nicely in the bed of a M35 with room to spare.

Jill will freak if there is a landcruiser. they are her favorite.
Good and bad news.
The good news is the entry fee at RC will be $10 on Saturday and $25 on Sunday, plus any annual membership for new folks. That is off the regular $35-45 entry fee.
The bad news is on Saturday only the Northeast property will be open to ride, it is about 1000 acres versus the 2000 we usually ride. As i posted about before, there is a big race there that weekend and they are closing the primary part of the park to riding, just racers and spectators on the East, West and South properties, from Wednesday through Saturday for practice/prerunning and qualifying.
In the good news column, the $10 fee to ride the Northeast property runs from Wednesday through Saturday. Camping will be allowed as usual. The $25 fee for Sunday covers the entire property, which usually costs $45 so we can run all the regular trails on Sunday. I have never seen this race live, but videos have been cool. The vehicles are rock racers, basically tube buggies with a combination of rock crawling parts and desert racing go fast parts. Lots of action.
Here is the link from the RC site. They only posted this info at the end of last month and no info yet on the itinerary for the race.

Guy here with the M35a3 that had an "extended stay" up at Rausch Creek after the Febuary "Freeze Out"..... truck is back running and count me in for the rally. Will have my boys with me so that's myself plus 2.
I will have my M35a3 and MEP-016c generator, recovery gear [snatch blocks & chains] plus some firewood.
Also you guys should know that the staff from Rausch Creek is awesome.... they kept an eye on my truck the entire time it was onsite even after I had to leave. They also checked up on me a few times while I was working on her in some nasty wind and snow.
Thanks also to all the guys that stopped over to check her out and offer a hand.
I also have some extra Snatch Blocks, Ammo Cans, Sand Bags and Sleep Systems let me know if anyone else wants me to bring anything up to the rally.
