Blythe and I almost had to pick Lalagay up off the ground right before she met Bela Fleck for the first time. Gosh I love newbies! :lol
Will you stop it! You’re gonna get me crying in a minute…
I love you guys! :hug
and we Love You !
:cheers :flower
Another newbie here. Are campfires allowed ? :wave
No fires in TP, sorry. :wave Welcome festifriend :flower
No actual wood fires allowed, but you can have a propane-fueled “firepit” or a gas log fireplace. Fishbone had a very nice fireplace last year, and I thank them for that cuz it allowed me to warm up while cruising around late at night. Steamboat Crossroads has nice gas campfire, and many of the picking tents have the large outdoor heaters that are fueled by 20# or larger propane canisters.
Thanks folks, that spares me hauling a ton of wood up there 
Now to rig up a gas firepit…
Is this the Mongo that punches out horses? If so, showing your age. :lol Is Mongo in TP? :huh
If so, all the main picking camps have heating sources to help out the pickers and folks coming to listen to all the great talent. It does get quite cold in the evenings, so come prepared. When the sun drops, I head straight to our camp and start layering.
We take a couple of 20 gallon tanks with heaters for when we are in camp and sitting around having a couple of cocktails. :cheers Most of the time we are out and about hitting the main picking camps.
Hope this helps a little, Mr. Mongo! :thumbsup
By the way, if in TP, Don’t miss all the prefest parties and your requests will be filled at the Jailhouse Breakfast! :cheers
Our camp is open to all, just watch out for the goose, he’s a little gassy.
What time should a noob like myself show up to TP to get a halfway decent camping spot. At what point is there pretty much nowhere good to camp? Or does this even happen?
08:00 Saturday before festival is when they open up the preserve, your best bet is to be there by that time. good spots are still available after that however by Wednesday morning, pickings will be thin.
