Virgin burner, so excited!

Post by somewhatodd » Fri Mar 25, 2016 11:49 am

Hey!

My green man made it in time and I scored a ticket.
I've got a number of friends going but they have a long established camp with no room left.
I was planning on going with some other friends, but they all missed out on tickets.

So... I'm going solo, and its going to be awesome :)

Congratulations!
I would like to treat my gas pedal as a binary operator and get the cooperation of everyone in front of me!

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!
Congrats on the ticket score.

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

You have absolutely the right attitude for this!
Going solo isn't that hard, and lots of regulars on here have done it (and some still do). Here's a thread from last year that has some good tips in it, as well as links to even more threads for solo campers.

Welcome somewhatodd. Hope we can help you iron out the wrinkles for your maiden voyage. I always go solo. Wouldn't have it any other way.
