What to Bring ~ Essentials

[tgcali]

I was just wandering if anyone who was there last year had any ideas or tips of what to bring or not. The essentials, if you will, to give us newbiew some ideas.

I'm thinking:

Water! and some Gatorade/Powerade
Wet Wipes
Toilet seat covers and paper (port-a-potty's are notorious for being dirty and unstocked, especially later in the day)
Sunscreen
Lotion
Comfortable shoes
Light weight jacket for evening
Tylenol
Camera and extra cards or film
Batteries
What's better ~ beach towel or lawn chair?
Beverages of choice
Ideas for good food choices for first time campers?
Hat (that breathes)
Washclothes to wet down with water for when/if you get too hot
Ideas for clothing choices?
Leave jewelry and make-up and purse at home, only need insurance card/I.D.
Small portable First Aid kit with bandaids, ointment, etc.

I have these really cool battery operated fans on a string that I picked up at Wal-Mart for like $3 each. I think they will be coming in very handy!

What are your thoughts?:)

[hodgee5]

that covers most of it

[Kymery]

More Tylenol, more water, and quick snacks.

Fried chicken is always good cold and keeps great in a cooler. With some potato salad. Great quick eatins

OK we are sooo much alike it is scary..
I just went to a large picnic yesterday...
Guess what we brought?
Chicken strips and potato salad all cold...:D

Don't forget the folding chairs...
Oh yes allergy medicine ..The pollen count out here right now is crazy..
Also some eye drops for the sandy windy times....
Lots of water....
Sunscreen and chapstick.....
Oh yes and a kind attitude on having patince...:)

[novemberstyles]

OMG, this is great news. Are you saying we can bring coolers??????
I thought it was only lawn chairs/blankets and personal essentials. I didn't know we could bring in snacks. I thought all food had to be bought at the general store/festival. I have 3 grandkids and I was taking out a loan just to cover all the expenses.....! (JK) But seriously, can someone please verify this is true?

[Rose]

You can't bring anything into the festival. You can bring in your own stuff if you are camping or RV'ing.

[horsephotographer]

You can't bring anything into the festival. You can bring in your own stuff if you are camping or RV'ing.
You can bring in chairs blakets and all the sunblock and other goodies..
Just not food or drinks unless you are camping ..
Thats why camping and being allowed to go back to your campground is so poular.
The best advise I can give is .
For instance PBR starts on Friday at 10am The stage coach doors will not open till 3pm..
If you are tight on a budget maybe pack a cooler for your car. block melts slowest or keep some in the bag on top..
OK back to what and how to plan if you are not camping..
Eat a good breakfast after PBR stop by the car for a good lunch packed in your ice chest...

Then you will only be having to get dinner for the kids if you wait till late to leave or get them a snack and go to IN and Out on the way home...
But remember buying the fun food and tickets at the event is all a part of the fun and the experince...
Remember they do have lockers for rent to place all your valuables and things you do want to lug around...
The Experiences you will have this weekend will be priceless..
So bring a camera even if a disposible...

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

[tgcali]

LOL! Horse, you crack me up.

They had a great selection of T's. Some of the sayings: 'All Jacked Up', 'My Give a Damn's Busted', 'Saddle Up'. I went for one I saw last time I was there, but it was gone already. It said:
Ms. B. Haven
Your Rules Are Not My Rules

Love it!

[tgcali]

Give me the cell phone hang up ...
It's all jacked up..I'ts all jacked up...
Hang up..
I hang up because OMG Gretchen Wilson is on the radio singing the song of the day for stage coach tickets....

My husbands redailing franticly calling us back and is sure the car was in a wreck or something from the sound of my screaming..

Of course it is busy..I need those extra tickets...

Poor guy.

I called him back and did not even realize what I did to him..
He kept saying are you Ok?????

But I just missed the tickets..

He was so relived..

Sit in tent take a swig...
Now you are all set to go....
Now one will see it...
Ok they might smell it...lol
Be creative if ya want more then that...

[Lizzy]

lol, i just thought of better idea take a swig in tent, hold it in mouth until venue. Then you have the bragging rights to say you snuck alcohol into stagecoach.

Ok, ok I know this does not sound logical. Just thought i'd give you some ideas. I'm horrible at trying to keep from laughing about anything, I'd prob laugh and spit it all over some poor security guard.

[Raquellita]

Don't think I won't crash your new digs Hodgee! Raquellita and I better start the trek now....I hear it's far from the forum.

I'll be sure to take my hiking boots.

[Rose]

I'm going out today at lunch and buying me a brand new digital camera for Stagecoach...my old one eats batteries like crazy. Tomorrow I'll get my oil changed in my car. One step at a time to get ready for the festival.

[hodgee5]

Ill be at boot barn today. Dont know what Im gonna buy yet, but Im gonna buy it

[Kymery]

Yepp, going back to boot barn to grab those darn Ariat's that have been hounding me for a week.

I have been saving my discounts/receipts so wont have to pay full price.

OK>>>so what is it about womens jeans these days, they wont stay stacked over my lacers!! they drag on the ground! what happened to old school
MWZ13's, boot cuts, rockies, etc...even my new wranglers drag...UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[hodgee5]

I need to find a good big belt buckle

[Kymery]

I have an awesome one with team ropers on it...man, the men were loving it last night! I love my buckle.

[hodgee5]

I was gonna go last night, but fishin was callin my name. I see there is a lake out at the grounds. Any fish in there?

[Kymery]

Fish at the grounds?? ahahaa, maybe some gold fish!

Hmm..that reminds me, I have not heard from the boys up in the Sierras. They said it is beautiful yesterday. They must be fishing the gorge or the streams since they cant fish the lake till gunshot on Saturday.

[hodgee5]

Caught a 24 pound carp last night, kinda like a gold fish, took me 25 minutes to pull it in on 6 pound test.

[Kymery]

hahaha carp....Yep HUGE goldfish!

I was gonna go to Bass Pro and buy me a new pole while the hubby is away. I had a perfect Shimano rod and real, and when we moved my husband left it strapped to the rafters in the garage!! Of course the new owners said they never saw it! Hmmm..Bass Pro or Boot barn...oh, and Costco...busy day today!

[hodgee5]

Bass pro, boot barn and costco in one day? Geez must be nice lol.

Ya but I fish to catch fish. Doesnt matter what it is. Corn and shrimp on the bottom for carp and cat, and pullin a jig or worm for bass or trout. Its my getaway

[Rose]

O.K. I just got back from Costco with my brand new digital camera...Canon Powershot model SD790 10 Mega Pixels, Image Stabilizer, 3x Optical zoom, red eye correction. I might be able to take some really good pictures this year! One more to do item checked off the list.

[hodgee5]

Haha boat ride or stagecoach. such a hard decision...

[bayareagirl16]

Is your daughter going on the 3 Hour Tour? I worked one of those shows selling everyone's CDs. All singer- songwriters good in their own light. But, honestly, they chose that over Stagecoach?! *shakes head*

Tell them to say hi to Ernie Halter for me :D

[angiemarie123]

[SACRAMENTO!!!]

HAHA.. I love it!

[tgcali]

I got the same camera last month Rose. Canon PowerShot, but mine is A470. I love this thing! Bought several cards for LOTS of pictures!

I was inquiring about suggestions for my delimma with the Crown today at work. Now, I work Clerical Support in Law Enforcement, and I actually had one of our DUI Officers make the suggestion that I put it in a plastic baggy and stash it in my bra.........I asked him just exactely how he, of all people, came up with that idea. He didn't answer.:D

[EXC064]

hahaah..almost lost my dinner!

EVERY TIME YOU READ SOMETHING I POST YOU HAVE FOOD IN YOUR MOUTH

[Rose]

IS THE RED EYE REDUCTION AND IMAGE STABILZER FOR YOU OR THE CAMERA


OMG :eek: I'm laughing my ass off. When you get to know me and my pictures you will know I HAD to have those features because all the pictures I take are blurry from my shaking or my subjects have red eyes. If I could find a camera that would take the picture for me, download it on my computer automatically, take my card to Target to get developed and then automatically e-mail them to my friends and family I would buy that camera today. :D

[Kymery]

Is this a good example of Red Eye?

[EXC064]

WELL YOU ARE IN LUCK THERE IS A CAMERA THAT HAS BLUETOOTH AND WILL DOWN LOAD TO COMPUTER IN FILE THEN YOU JUST CLICK AND EMAIL

VERY VERY CUTE

[angiemarie123]

how are you guys getting the pics to insert in the post? everytime i click insert image it won't let me????

[Kymery]

I use photobucket.com and upload the pick, then I just copy the IMG link and paste. Thats the only way I can get it to work.

[tgcali]

http://usera.imagecave.com/tgcali/John52.jpg

You mean like this? Just upload the image to image cave or photo bucket. Come to the thread and click insert image, go to the site you uploaded your pics to and copy the url, paste it in and presto!

[tgcali]

And yes, I did that just so I could look at the picture. I know it wasn't actually necessary......

[Kymery]

yepp good job.

[angiemarie123]

thanks i will try it....

[Kymery]

Where do you see an "insert image" button, I just copy and paste the IMG link


OHHH never mind.i found it, but i skip that step.

[tgcali]

When I copy and paste, I get a link, not the picture.

[Kymery]

When I copy and paste, I get a link, not the picture.

right, now preview your post (go advanced button) to see if it worked. then submit it. but remember you have to use the IMG link not the URL link to get the image to copy/past

[tgcali]

That's what I mean. When I go advanced, I see the link. That's why I use the little button thingy.

[Kymery]

That's what I mean. When I go advanced, I see the link. That's why I use the little button thingy.

Your a dork. I think you are not copying the IMG link...you are copying the URL link

Your link has to start with "IMG" in the link.

Neener.;) You're right. My bad.

No biggy, it works both ways.






That sounds wrong on so many levels.

We must have our priorities.

Did you upload pictures to a photo sharing site. Photobucket, Imagecave.

Good. Copy the url for the picture, come back here and click the little yellow box labeled 'insert image' and paste it. Preview post to see what it looks like.

http://usera.imagecave.com/tgcali/John37.jpg

Like that.

If you're having trouble, check to see if you get that little warning at the top of your browser. You might have to click to allow and try again. I do.

[angiemarie123]

What photo sharing site are you using?

[EXC064]

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I DID IT
SOME HOW I GOT TO A ATTACHMENT WINDOW IN THE SITE AND WAS ABLE TO UPLAOD A PIX TO IT THE COPY IT TO APOST BUT NOW I DONT HOW TO DO IT AGAIN

[EXC064]

EASY AS 1-2-3-548716461

[tgcali]

If you upload your pics to one of the sharing sites, you get a url to copy and paste. I use imagecave. It gives me thumbnail, urls, ezcode and html to choose from. I just use the thumbnails for my avatars and the urls to post pictures.

[tgcali]

160

Like this?

[EXC064]

SIMPLE HUGH
IMA QUIT WHILE IM AHEAD

[tgcali]

That makes it thumbnail sized, not actual sized. Peculiar.

Another question from the Virgin Stagecoacher....

The showers say they are stalls, does that mean they are private? Or should I wear my swimsuit so my personal spots are not exposed to everyone???

[tgcali]

Will there be free bathrooms/showers? Handicap accessible? Private?
Yes, there will free bathrooms and free showers available. Separate M/F trailers (with individual privacy) and there will be handicap accessible facilities for both as well.

Are There Showers? What hours can you use the showers?
Yes there are showers, they are free and they are open:
Wednesday TBA
Thursday 6am - 3pm and 6pm - 2am.
Friday 6am - 3pm and 6pm - 2am.
Saturday 6am - 3pm and 6pm - 2am.
Sunday 6am - 3pm and 6pm - 2am.
Monday 6am - 10am
(hours subject to change)

[hodgee5]

TG I know you have are a girl. Come on now yall

[horsephotographer]

Well, I know I got the important stuff already, the 4 cases of MGD (36packs) and a bottle of Svedka...screw the rest of ya!! BRAHAHAHAHA

jk...I still got plenty to get, but at least I got some of it..oh and I got the meat too.

wow...
Looks like you are ready to get busy....
Just let us know where you want us to put you after the 2nd case...?:D

[Rose]

I just got my car set with an oil change, fluids filled, air in the tires. one more thing to cross off the list to get ready for Stagecoach.

P.S. Don't go to Ez-lube, they tried to tell me that I might have metal shavings in my old oil. PLEASE. If that were the case my engine would be done. I checked the oil myself before getting it replaced and it was clean. It was just time, 3 months. I'm anal about keeping up on my car and making it last as long as possible. I sure wish my mechanic that I loved and trusted didn't retire.

I'm lucky, I still have my mechanic. He's about my age, so when he retires I'll be too old to drive anyway! Only person ever to work on any car of mine. Had him check it yesterday. He doesn't even charge me to check it over before a trip. Good to go. He wants it back for the oil change after I get back.

Question: This means I can use my regular cell charger right? The little plug-in job. I don't need any special thingies?

Will there be electrical outlets?
There will be cell phone charging stations at center camp in each campground. The shower trailers will also have electrical outlets.

Right, they are hooked up to temp power also. Just bring your home charger

I am a newbie to this forum and to SCF. I am sooo excited. The biggest thrill is just that my hubby is coming and he isn't a huge Country guy. But the Eagles got him..

My question is this... I read that at the camping sites. (We are El Dorado 2) that there are no cooking devices.. No open fires, gas or any other. What about our BBQ!!!!! Also what is up with the no Alcohol policy... We are going to party. Our 5th Wheel is stacked with anything and everything...

Any suggestions?

[Rose]

:D We are a group of country folks who don't BBQ, hate to drink alcohol and the amish are considered more advanced than us. Sorry but I couldn't resist.

BBQ's were allowed at the last minute last year. Bring your booze, but just don't flaunt it and pour it into red cups. Let the party begin.

Tell the Hubby not to fret about the music:

"More than 50 acts of various musical genres--mainstream country, bluegrass, folk, roots rock and alt-country--will perform on four stages (Mane, Palomino, Appaloosa and Mustang) over the three-day weekend."

So even after he sees the eagles on Friday Night I'm sure he'll be able to find some music he digs over the weekend.

:D

The beauty of it is that he has to listen to what I like this weekend.. All about me for 4 days... I know evil wife!! But you have to know that my biggest battle was that we do everything he likes so he should give me this weekend. He had to go for it... lol... one point for me.

Thankfully I have been introducing hime to Big and Rich for a year now and he does like them.

He has heard Whiskey Falls and doesn't know it but he likes them..

I just put my Ipod buds in his ears at night so that he gets it in his blood

I THINKS IT THE WAY YOU TYPE IT IS NOT FEMININE ENOUGH

[SassyVal]

[EXC064]

I've got a couple of lanterns.



I'd like to see them try and tell me I can't have a lantern.::rolleyes:

Thank God! I'd hate to trip while wandering to the parties ;)

[angiemarie123]

I saw some flashlights that go on your head at Home Depot this morning. You could get those for the trek around the campgrounds. $12.97 each. i may get one and put it around my cowboy hat....

[sunkisses]

We use those for night fishing in Yuma...they work great!

[bayareagirl16]

Damn, that reminds me, I have to get a new hat. I lost my old one when I moved :(

[hodgee5]

My buddy has it built into his hat, it has come in handy so many times.

[bayareagirl16]

I don't know whether thats awesome or rediculous.... I'm gonna go with awesome, though

[hodgee5]

Its a little bit of both, but it has been put to good use more than a handful or times

[IheartMillerLite]

I don't know whether thats awesome or rediculous.... I'm gonna go with awesome, though

I am going with awesome too!

[horsephotographer]

I don't know whether thats awesome or rediculous.... I'm gonna go with awesome, though

I'm still cracking up and I want one..
Of course I bet Lowe's will have ones that are classy..LOL
You know who they cater more to us women....

I love it...
I was so worried on how to carry it all......:confused:

I bet this group could fix any problem....:D

[Rose]

o.k., if you see somebody passed out on the ground and their light is still on then they are probably still alive. Don't worry till the light goes out. :D

[4_Q_Country]

They also have them at Costco...they're a bit more expensive, but they have 7 LED lights and one red one in the middle. It is fully adjustable, so you can go from just a lil bit of light to OMG that's bright!

I use them on my overnight BBQ cooks ALL THE TIME!

[Rose]

Will you need VIP wrist band assistants?
Just checking in....:D


I will need help with my wristband - wristband challenged. :D

[NicoleErin]

All this flashlight talk reminds me. I need to fish my flashlight out from under my bed...yes, I used to sleep with it (its the heavy maglite) cuz i'm a wuss!

I totally wanna check out the head lights!

[horsephotographer]

I will need help with my wristband - wristband challenged. :D
Ok my friend..
I got you covered:D

[dar]

Okay, I am an idiot. Why can't I copy something from the board and paste it into word? The start of the thread had such a comprehensive list I need it pack with tonight. Why invent the wheel again?

Help? Control C doesn't work on my computer.

[NicoleErin]

I went to Home Depot to get a headlight and my friends dont want to join me in wearing one! I got one anyhow! They'll be jealous! haha

[dar]

Okay I have been reading some more of the posts & my question is not a dumb one. Heck we are bring 2 lanterns and my husband last year had the light on his forehead. Everyone was stopping us and asking where we got it. I just told them that I am married to an astronomy geek! Uses it all the time.
\
So help, it is my computer the reason I cant copy & past to word?

[carslikes2party]

I went to Home Depot to get a headlight and my friends dont want to join me in wearing one! I got one anyhow! They'll be jealous! haha

Well now I see the reasoning with wearing one on a cowgirl hat ;) dang I may have to stop and get one!

[NicoleErin]

Do it, Cars! All the cool kids are!

Dar: Yes, I think you should be able to copy/paste. Are you trying just to copy the text people have typed, not their screen names, etc? Maybe act as if you're going to quote that post and try copying from there?

[Broccoli1]
