!! IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE EVENT FEES AND CHECK-IN PROCEDURE !!
• Event Fee: The fee schedule will be a SET PRICE, based on your DAY OF ARRIVAL. You will be charged the fee listed below, regardless of what time you show up at the gate. The cost remains similar to previous years, and eliminates the risk of each entrant potentially getting charged a different amount.
- Wednesday arrival: $260 per person
- Thursday arrival : $195 per person
- Friday/Saturday Arrival: $130 per person
- There will be no tax added, since it is an event fee
- For those who might balk at the pricing, this essentially amounts to $65pp/day and is inline with the cost for an event of this size held at Rausch or AOAA, when factoring in travel, wheeling and camping costs. The advantage here is the entire event is held at the trailhead, where you can “wake-up and wheel” verses driving 30+ minutes to and from the trails or disbursed camping.
• Check-in: When you arrive at the campground entrance, inform the attendant that you are there for the CLCC Fall Crawl event. Once you have paid the event fee, you will be given a 1/2 sheet of paper with a number on it. You must bring that paper to the club event registration tent in order to register for the event and collect your swag bag, t-shirts, and driver raffle ticket.
• Check-out: All participants must be checked out at the front gate by 12pm Sunday.
• Firewood: In a change from previous years, you may bring your own firewood. However, you must either burn all the wood you bring, or take the remainder with you when you leave. Simply put, don’t leave unburned wood at your campsite.
