I think I prevented a big accident from happening this weekend

Sunday morning, me and my gf were still awake in premier campaign and wanted to smoke a j and watch the sunrise.

We started walking around (we were the only people still up/awake in premier), and all of a sudden smelled an INSANE amount of propane in the air. We checked these random campsites stoves in the area to make sure they were off (sorry for intruding but it was a safety issue), but still smelled it.

We went to the medics and reported the smell, who then got gorge security to investigate.

Turns out there was an Rv of 5 people who left their propane stove on all night leaking gas and their windows were open, all 5 were ptfo until
Security got there.

Did we prevent a large gas explosion from happening?

IMPORTANT INFO:

  • The Vantage Bridge will be under construction until 2028. Get updated info HERE
  • No Chairs are allowed in the venue. Prepare to rent your chair. As of this post, I wasn't able to find a current link for chair rentals.
  • Get to the venue right when parking opens even if you have to get there and just hang out. You don't want to get stuck in traffic any later than that
  • If you need to make arrangement for parking/shuttle, do it immediately. That way, you will get the most options. Reserving the day-of is very stressful and never guaranteed
  • Drink A TON of water before you get there. Make it a priority to stay hydrated
  • Bring earplugs (for those camping) mosquito spray, a light jacket and a very comfortable pair of walking shoes. It's incredibly hot during the day and surprisingly cold after the sun sets.
  • If you plan on camping, bring corkscrew stakes for your tents and sunshades. Those will give you the best results out there.

Good luck with your plans and please reach out to us if you have any other questions, we're local and love to help!

Pick up your campsites!!!

i had the joy of attending experts only this past weekend and while my group had a blast, we were super bummed when we drove out today to see that people just left a BUNCH of trash all over their campsites. Wrappers, bottles, cans, cardboard boxes etc. Didn’t even try to bag it or put it anywhere near a garbage can. Don’t be a bum, pick up after yourself it’s so trashy (literally and figuratively)
