No conspiracy, just human nature.
As a former member of one of those camps, I can tell you it is a conspiracy and it sickened me. They are lunatics, maddened and hardened by frog elixirs that lead to hallucinations.
Human nature? Difficult to picture hordes of campers sneaking out of TP and Warner to infiltrate the town line. Most of them would probably fall into the river. The conspiracy plan is to ply some of the town line folks up front with some crunchy frog, then abscond with their numbers. :evil
Then perhaps you’ll be amused that I went as this guy for Halloween a few years ago:
I’m wondering what kind of trade deals will be offered for line numbers in the top 10?
I knew it! The fences were designed to keep you all locked INSIDE Town Park!
Human nature: very resilient and able to adapt.
:thumbsup I like it! :thumbsup Two thumbs up! Although some of us have had a lot of fun in that tarp line… :festival
:zzz :zzz :zzz :zzz :zzz :zzz :sunshine :horsey :horsey :horsey
The Line is dead. Long live the Line.
I have a suggestion: let’s not tell the festi-virgins. Make ‘em sleep out in the non-line.
Former member :huh
Hold on, I’m about to join one of those camps… are you telling me it isn’t like summer camp? That’s what we Australians imagine it will be, camp fires, hot dogs, crafts, music making and fun and games for all ages…who are these lunatics and what are these frog elixirs of which you speak?
I was wondering that too Erndog? Billy did someone revoke your RaM card? :pirate
I like the new random policy for TP/Warner campers. But I’m a noobie to TBF and wonder how 750 numbers will match up to the number of campers in TP and Warner? Is 750 enough numbers that every camper can get a number or will they run out at some point and leave some of the campers without a number? Maybe my question is asked more simply by asking how many TP and Warner camping passes were sold?
I believe it’s 1200 but it doesn’t include kids 12 and under, and I doubt that every camper will be laying down a tarp.
There may be anywhere from 2 to 8 camp members on a tarp. :thumbsup
The original post clearly states that numbers on the TP/WF side will be given to people wearing wristbands from either of those campgrounds ONLY. NO numbers will be handed to persons wearing a children’s wristband. It does not say that a TP or WF wristband can not get in line on the town side, which is good because many who have TP and WF so they can come into the campground later, but often have lodging in town.
Or thinking about it another way …
Many years I either get a high number or get in line at the end, after everyone who has a number, since our group enjoys being further back. When handing them out sequentially, I want to say the numbers generally only go into the 200s :huh. I think it’s likely that not all of the 750 numbers will get handed out (the line will form sequentially, with big gaps between numbers). Or camps will send 5 or 10 people to get a number when they normally would only have a few people in line. Meaning people will lineup with their lowest number and return or re-give unused higher numbers.
It is my understanding that runners with numbers are to be lined up about 30 mins ahead of gates open? IIRC they open at 10 on Thurs, 9 the other 3 days? Dustin? confirm please?
Cindy,
I believe the gates open at 10 on Thursday and Sunday, 9 on Friday & Saturday.
And Barry, we are thinking the same. Camps will send as many adults as possible for numbers, but only run their lower numbers. I also have not seen line numbers above 200 on the campground side, so there will be big gaps between runners.
right, but if folks have to be in line by 30 mins ahead of gates, then the numbers theoretically will be distributed from 7 until 30 mins before gates. Dustin or Brian, can you clarify please?
Thank you Dustin! This is Awesome!
