NABX new guy questions
Sorry if I'm posting out of line or hijacking anything but this is my first posting on here...
I'm registered and everything is booked.
I got the chance to check things out last year at short notice and didn't bring any gear, this year I'm trying to pack as much as I can but I'm sure I
will need some new tires.
Is there somewhere to pick them up in Vegas before I head out to Prim..?
My second question is about checking in when I get there.
I can't make it out to Prim until Friday afternoon and was wondering where I would checkin once I get out to the camp..??
....just 3 more sleeps....!!

Thanks for the info..
Thanks for all the suggestions on tires.
I think I would like to try some slicks, I want tires that will last.
After seeing the surface out there last year I'm not sure my 1 1/2 ply rib tires will last to long.
I'm not looking forward to a blowout and a long walk of shame back to camp, no to keen on the almost certain road rash either..!!
......down to 2 sleeps now time to repack ...again.

When you get to Buffalo Bill's Take the main road that goes past the outlet mall. It makes a bend and then on the right is a little lottery store.
Just past that the road turns again heading back behind the mall + hotel. At that corner you have a choice of going straight on a dirt road or to the
right through a gate and out on to the lake. Take the right and you will see the Ivanpah signs.
Drive out on the lake between the posts with the > < arrows. About 2 miles out you will see a huge white tent. That is the regestration tent
and buggy town.
