Things I wish I knew before my first gathering
This is gonna be long and probably kinda stale, but I think at least some of this would have been helpful
Last year was my first gathering, and while this is a different location, I'm gonna be honest, I was really unprepared. Constantly hiking back and forth to my car because I was traveling with a homey that left his stuff in my car was a pain in the ass. I was the only one with a key, and we both kept doing different things. But when he needed to get his stuff, I usually needed to go with. I did leave my keys with him once because I didn't feel like going with him, but then he got sidetracked and we got lost for hours and I needed to get in my car. And there was a lot of back and forth hiking from car to park and back. So if you're going with someone, make sure you both can get to your own shit without the other. Always have a plan.
Bring water. The last venue was nice because across the street from the venue was a gas station where you could get water and refreshments. Now with this venue, and I've only read this somewhere else and it could be wrong or outdated, but the nearest gas station or store is 20 minutes away. So, I'd definitely stock up on refreshments and snacks, a week's worth, because you'll be eating more than normal also, maybe. I don't know you're body chemistry. On to
Bug spray! Make sure that whatever you're wearing is also repellant to ticks. Some bug sprays attract them somehow. And this place for sure is gonna be bad for ticks, especially if you're camping out near any tree lines.
Bring cheap flip flops for showers, if you plan on taking them, which they're free, so why woukdnt you? The best time to take a shower is about an hour before they shut down right as they sun's dipping. If you go first thing in the morning, you're gonna be sweating your tits off right away and it'll have been completely pointless
Have cash aside from a card. Some places, like this really delicious pizza trailer, only took cash. and if they're gonna be at this one, trust... you want at least one slice (get two you cheap fuck)
Get a fucking faygo dog if it's the last thing you do
If you plan on buying drugs there, bring text kits I can't stress this enough. Always be safe about that, but if you can get from a trusted source at home, I'd strongly recommend that instead. I don't know how it's been in previous years, but last year there were cases of fent laced drugs being sold.
If you're bringing a friend, and they've never been a fan of the music, but they want to hang out, leave them the fuck at home
