Glad to help out where I can.

Nobody has asked any questions as yet, so it is either really complete (I doubt it) or DW is still far enough away that folks haven't focused on it yet.

For myself, I am already musing on where the tent, Camp Tejas, the showers, etc. goes, what we eat etc. Gimmy about a week to collect stuff and I am ready to hit the road north!

I just told my son he has to come up the weekend before and help me set up.

The tent I got from junkjeeps is 16x35 and will easily sleep anybody that wants a roof over their head. They suggest 4~6 people to raise it!

I have a question about the water. We normally carry a 50 gallon drum for the powerwasher in our trailer. I would obviously like to leave this empty to reduce the trailer weight for such a long journey. I am not too concerned about water to wash the bikes as there is a bike wash available if I recall correctly from previous posts. I am more concerned with refilling the fresh water tank in the RV as the week progresses. Would it be acceptable to tap into the water source for some water or should I fill up the powerwasher barrel and drag it along?


Posted by: Tony Eeds

Chili:

Don't worry about filling the tank. I have a 300 gallon tank I am bringing to use to fill the shower. We can use it to get water for RVs as well.


Posted by: Chili

Thanks Tony


Posted by: oldguy

We are also wonderring where we can fill our fresh water tank when we first arrive. Does the state Park down the road have that facility for non campers at the park?
We would rather not haul 100 gallons 8oo miles

Also will the portajohn guy be pumping RV holding tanks again this year. It is well worth $10 not to hookup and leave the track just to dispose of the pooo


Posted by: Okiewan

Yes about the water, you can fill-up at Blackwell.
About the guys pumping RV's, that's the plan again this year as well.


Posted by: rv6junkie

Last year we got our fresh water from the camping facility. There is a water hose by the new toilet/shower building.

I don't see "Altitude" on the list. According to the Oklahoma State website, Stillwater is at 890ft. That sound right? YZ165
