The pre-event is bring your own food and bed (with tent or sleep in your car). Sometimes community meals are made, but you need to be self sufficient.

We usually get together for night time meals if possible, will know more about what we have to work with the week before event, keep you eyes on this
thread. You do need to bring food for sure.
There are two restrooms, but no water, and no shade! Just kiting nirvana!
I still don't know what i have to do or who i have to pick up from the airport, they seem to want to drag it out to the last moment!
I do know that we have a fair crowd planning on meeting us there, and many are coming in early!

I don't recommend tents, or at least a regular tent. If you do use a tent, be sure to have plenty of guy-lines and stakes, and plan on pitching it
behind a car/van/RV. Elmers usually isn't that bad (wind shuts off around 10pm), but if a storm blows through that could change.
Last year at Superior we had soooo much wind. Yikes, blown out for almost 2 days straight. Exhausting being in conditions like that. Can't imagine
that in a tent (at least the 3 season tent that I have)

Superior was brutal last year. I "had" a Cabelas Alaskan Guide tent, it made it to about 12 on sunday. It just destroyed the fiberglass poles. I'm
hoping the new one that I was comped holds up a little better, it has aluminum poles. The tent at Ivanpah that came to be know as the dome is made by
a company called Mountain Hardwear. Their gear and that made by other companies is sold at Backcountry.com.
P.S.
I'm not involved with either company, just trying help people find what they need.

Hey Sailors,
Just let me say that there are right places and wrong places to establish pre-event camp. You can sleep where ever you wish, but when I arrive on
Friday, I'm going to the right spot.
I believe Dan Rubesh - the Wind Wizard - knows the GPS co-ordinates.
I just know where it is.
Check out www.buggythang.org for links to directions, nekid buggy pics and tons more.
I'm just saying...
Safen Up! Buggy On!

Tradition dictates Walt's Cove.
The Park Service even provided us with a sign.
When you get there, or when the Mayor gets there, you can ask him why it is called that.

If you need a place to sleep we should have room in our camper. An air matress or foam pad would help. There is also a bed in the back of my truck
that Dean seems to thinks sleeps well, I think it was the scotch that made it softer.
