I have never had water get into these, And I have waded in creeks with them. They are not as comfortable as my other boots so I was asking are we gonna be in and out of swamp water all day? Or is there just a chance of a swampy encounter?

Well, there are a few paths and a few rivers. I'd say you'll definitely be around a swamp and a shallow stream that you can walk across.

Well, Riddick is going, so I guess we could ask him to bring ammo to sell?

I'm in for this. Can I skip the saturday day training to just come to the night game? Also, if someone could have an extra small tamiya battery that could be my backup, it would be much obliged. This looks awesome!

It is really more of a chance to get wet/muddy. If you don't really want to get wet or muddy, you probably can avoid it, I would bring an extra set of clothes just in case.

I would not really recommend "walking" across it--unless you want to get wet, Gortex will not provide any protection when it is over the top of your boots. The water is about up to my waist (I'm 6'0")

There is no problem that cannot be solved with the proper application of high explosives....

Yes you may, you should probably show up with enough time to set up your sleeping arrangements before the night game though. We have lots of extra batteries, but almost no mini tamiya ones...get deans!

Someone will have a charger so we can recharge batteries that night.

So how is camping going to work? Will it be one big camp area, or separate ones?

You are allowed to camp anywhere in the nut orchard . Camp fire will be nearer to shop area. People who want to be rowdy til late will be set up near the back. Please note I will not tolerate any rowdy BS that effects others who do not want to participate in said rowdiness.
