Always a good time.  I'll be camping with my yellow R5 and red Moped...

Anyone else planning?

It has been quite a few years since I have been there. I think it had rained on Friday and I was there on Saturday... swap meet was full of muddy trenches and golf carts every two feet it seemed.
Pretty rare there is ever anything I can find that I need, but it is fun just looking around .

I took a few years off myself.  In the past five years the event has really exploded.  Attendance seems way up.  Part of the camping area is a giant party.  I've been 8 times I think and yea, rain makes a mess.  I've been through dry years, wet years, and torrential years.  I gave up tent camping because I'm old.  Now I rent a Transit and have a hauler and camper all in one.

I rarely have anything I "need" to buy, usually stupid shit like a moped.  I keep an eye out for reasonable Irridiums, etc.  I usually spend hours going through stuff in the swap meet, which has grown to something like 800 + vendors???

Thankfully I've never been there for a full washout.  I always meet many many cool people and see all sorts of exotica.

I wanted to go again this year with my buddy, but we just had a new addition to the family and a well pump replacement/plumbing repair for $5,000 on top of medical bills. Basically, fun plans over lol.

I did the rental van thing when I took my Hayabusa to run Bonneville back in 2021. Put over 3300 miles on that poor thing...
It's definitely the way to go.
