At most...20 on a GOOD ride turnout.

Thanks for the clarification.  Hopefully this will be one of your best turn outs then.

There has only been 2 Vets to pre-register, but the Matanzas club rep. said  he will contend with the issue at the gate about who is a Vet and discounts.
Also cookies for dessert and additional TP is being taken care of by the Georgia Crawlers.

Yeah I want to commit my Jeep but as you can see from my build thread I have alot to do before then. As of right now I'm still planning on making it. {toast}

What kind of weather would make this a bad trip?  Rain just keeps the dust down.  Two days and a wake up.  Looking forward to it. {letseat}

Rain turns RR into a mud fest, some guys like it, slick Ga. Red Clay. I would prefer dust over mud.

If RR has gotten rain like ATL has, the parking lot will be an obstacle and 2 wheel drive trailer rigs won't be able to go up the road to exit the park. I hate it is messing up the event.

MikeD, bring your UDT vest and snorkel! I have been watching it from here. This might not be a "go"!

This actually happened to me last year. I had to get pulled up to the exit with the YJ in tow.

It should make for an interesting trip. Here's the latest advisory:
... FLOOD WARNING EXTENDED UNTIL WEDNESDAY MORNING... THE FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES FOR THE OCONEE RIVER NEAR MILLEDGEVILLE... * UNTIL WEDNESDAY MORNING. * AT 10 AM TUESDAY THE STAGE WAS 30.8 FEET AND RISING. * MINOR FLOODING IS OCCURRING AND MODERATE FLOODING IS FORECAST. * FLOOD STAGE IS 27.0 FEET. * THE RIVER WILL CONTINUE RISING TO NEAR 32.8 FEET BY THIS AFTERNOON. THE RIVER WILL FALL BELOW FLOOD STAGE EARLY TOMORROW. * AT 32.0 FEET... MODERATE FLOODING BEGINS. FISHING CREEK SPREADS FURTHER INTO WOODLAND AREAS AND BEGINS TO COVER SOME ROADS IN LOW LYING AREAS. TANYARD BRANCH STREAM CONTINUES TO FLOOD.

I must admit that it does turn into a mudfest.  Probably not the last thing I need caked to the underside of the jeep prior to tearing it down this winter.   We have had to tow a rig or tow up the hill as well.  Hopefully the dually does ok.  When I posted up my original comment regarding rain, I had not seen a weather report for Georgia in a couple of days.  I did not realize you all had gotten so much so quick.  Hopefully damage remains minimal.
