I also was wondering if there is camping at the UOTC like for the Veterans ride in Nov. had a blast, and if so how much?

Camping is only available to clubs and vendors. Thank you for your interest.
 
I was going to go but I still have a bumper to weld up and a winch to mount. Also headlights are being retrofitted right now so it might be middle of the month.
 
Any groups riding on the 5th mind if me and possibly one other 4runner tag along with them? I'm not 100% sure if the other 4runner will be able to make it and would like to not be stuck by myself.
