Glad to see you guys making your way over to AAV for MRV. Definitely take part in the Dutch Oven contest and/or potluck. It's a great family friendly event with a bunch of like-minded enthusiasts just hanging out and kicking back in the mountains. Feel free to walk about and meander around the grounds to check out other rigs and setups. There are scheduled events that take place during the entirety of the event, but between those times, feel free to do whatever you like, whether it be trail runs, MTB, hiking, or just plain chill at the site. Please be aware of the fire restrictions during the event and that applies to the Dutch Oven contest as well. Also, yes you can setup your own "compound" but please be mindful of the limited space down in the main camp.
We're trying to get the RSVP and names matched up in the meantime, so please be patient. Any questions or concerns, please pm me, Dave or any of the other mods on AAV. The list is back open so if you don't see your name up on the master list, please post up with your username, name actual, and PayPal email address.
We're looking forward to seeing you guys there!
