More than a few people have inquired about camping out at the farm the night before the ride. Hopefully the weather will be cooperative, and this will work out for those who feel like adding camping to their adventurous weekend. So here's what you need to know about camping.
*Camping is available at the farmstead where the ride will start and finish. The address for this farmstead is 5493 Otter Creek Drive, Milldegeville IL. You will likely feel like you are driving to the middle of nowhere to find this place.
*Mr. Peters, the farmer who lives there, is a pretty nice guy who is super awesome for allowing us to use his farmstead, so please be respectful of his property.
*There will be a port-a-potty located at the back of the barn area. So leave your shovels at home and don't worry about digging any special "pits."
*Pull in the driveway and follow it to the backside of the barn/shed areas where there are concrete slabs you can park on.
*Water is available at the farmers well.
*You are welcome to create a small fire/bonfire if you bring your own wood.
*You can camp out anywhere in the grass area.
*If weather turns scary (there were some crazy winds last year), you are welcome to sleep inside the barn.
*The closest convenience store is in Milledgeville, which is about 4 miles away.
*Farmer Peters expects people to be coming to camp, so drive on in and get yourself set up.
*There is a dog (and cat) that live here, but they are friendly.
*I'll be there early Sunday morning getting registration and such all set up. So if you're sleeping in the barn, be prepared for an early wake-up.
