Crawling for Reid 2016 date is set!! May 13-15 2016, at Adventure Offroad Park in South Pittsburg, Tn. For those that came out in March you may remember that even with terrible weather we had over 325 rigs and over 500 people attend and raised $35,000 for Reid. CFR 2016 will not only support Reid and his family but also the EB Research (University of Minnesota Foundation). We are looking forward to better weather next May, an even bigger raffle and much, much more! Put this event on your calendar and check back here often for updates.

Just legalize all of it and let's see if we become like China in the late 19th century.

I have a first cousin that has severe Epilepsy and has lived into his 40s, he is now almost bedridden. My aunt and uncle have been fighting the legalize it battle for a while now to help with his condition as well. I agree w @patman , i dunno why it even has to be a fight for medical use.

I was hoping to make this event this year, but I am in a wedding on the 14th. What really stinks is that I will be in the Chattanooga area for the wedding.

What is bad is that it is actually one of my bosses that just transferred up there so he would know I was throwing down some BS. But with his luck we will actually catch a big job while we are up there. I could possibly talk him into skipping the wedding to go wheeling though.
-
I wont make it, i will be in Kansas City, KS for my daughters wedding.. im pretty sure i cant back out of my daughters wedding.
-
Just a reminder......
You might want to check on hotels rooms now
if your not camping.....I just checked and the
Holiday Inn Express is out of rooms with 2 beds.
-
I have a call into the hotel. If they are already booked and she said only one Crawling for Reid reservation I will be talking to other hotels. I will let you know as soon as I here back from the manager
-
Ok I have a call into another hotel talking to the manager. Don't do anything yet. Let me get a few things ironed out and I will post up here before I post on the Facebook page.
-
Holiday Inn does have rooms available with 2 beds. I could call now to reserve. Make sure you say crawling for Reid.

It's going back live on the Facebook page
Remember to mention Crawling for Reid

I booked a room at Holiday Inn last week didn't even cross my mind about asking for a special rate for CFR. Oh well.
Good news is I kinda conned my wife and kids into going. My daughter has been asking to go on a offroad trip but I don't feel like going back home after a hour of wheeling. I told my wife she has to go in case our 7 year old wants to bail. My son will be fine.....until the batteries in his game dies.
Only thing is my wife can not ride with me. She has TERRIBLE anxiety in OUR Jeep. She is fine in some other persons rig. (Kevin- LOL)
So ..... will anyone who usually rides along with Kevin have a open seat?

Call them back. I am sure they will fix the price.
-
I screwed up. I went online & booked the room a week ago. Then read where you got a discount for CFR. I called today and they gave me the discount. I saved $25.
I think I have the wife riding situation figured out. Her plans are to drink a lot of rum 'n' coke before hitting the trails.

That works

Not sure of the rate because it depends on what beds you want. Call this number and tell them you online price after they say event price.

That's the number I've been trying...they answered this time. The CFR rate is the same as the AOP rate, so $85+TTT for two queens. I'm going to stay over on Saturday night, so I have an open bed if anyone can suffer through the snoring. :)

Who is camping? Would like to get a GATR corner so we can have a section for us.

I'm most likely out. All of that planning around my trip to Phoenix and I just can't figure out how to drive 24 hours in a 38 hour window, safely. Plus I'm coming back from a trip to Philly on Thursday. Sucks.

I noticed in the sign in thread it said $25 per person. Is there a family cap? If you had a large family it could become expensive very fast.
I know this is a charity event but seems like whomever is in charge may want to look at how the pricing is stuctured.
For example I will be the driver, my wife riding shotgun & my 9 & 7 year old in the back seat. That's $100.
$25 per rig & driver, + $5 or $10 per passenger with kids under a certain age for free sounds alot more family friendly.
Thanks for listening to my suggestions.

We are 10 days out. And I am starting to get real nervous. Everybody needs to pray for Awesome weather. I will say this year is going to blow last year away in the Raffle department. We are counting 60 + buckets to choose from. Help spread the word these last few days with everybody you know. I want to break the Park Attendance record. I will be heading up to the Park Thursday morning. Can't wait to see everybody.

-
Look on the bright side, at least it won't be dusty.
-
The bright side is that we raise a bunch of money for Reid. I just got through telling my wife that I can wheel all year long, but this event is a fundraiser for Reid and his family as they battle this horrible disease. It rained a little last year and it may rain a little this year, but that ain't nothing compared to the agony Reid endures everyday. Rain doesn't stop me from attending other fundraising events. Sure I cant wait to ride this park, I've put riding it off several times in anticipation of Crawling for Reid and if I have to wait a little more....that's just tough. I can take it.

Who's going to be there tomorrow? Thinking of camping now with the better weather outlook. This will free up $160 worth of raffle money. I would rather give it to Reid than the hotel.

I JUST sent a message to John asking about splitting a room Friday night. I am considering coming up late Friday, but am currently planning to come home Saturday night. That plan could change, possibly, depending on if I get to wheel at all Saturday. I may stick around and wheel some Sunday, but it's doubtful. How many nights are you in the hotel?
-
Friday and saturday night. Leaving Sunday morning most likely. I just didn't want to drive home late after the raffle saturday night.
-
I, too, have a room with two beds for Friday night only. I have been told I make a slight bit of noise, some call it snoring, when I sleep. I have extended an offer to Wes to share the room, but if that punk doesn't get back to me in the next two hours, I'll offer it up. There will be no charge, just a request that you donate extra to CFR, at your discretion.
More to come around 1 pm.
