    Re: The 2009 PradoPoint Get Together Experience Thread

    Hi All,

    It was gusting up to 110kms/h at Adelaide Airport this morning, and wide spread power blackouts in the suburbs.

    I will be leaving Adelaide on Thursday morning, so should be in Coober Pedy for the Night.

      This weather pattern is fast moving so if you can afford to sit it out a day then that would be the best option as the wind will cost you dearly in fuel when towing, even when you aren't towing. Look forward to seeing you at Ross River Resort.

                HI All,

                Well I will definitely be updating this thread with photos once the event gets underway.

                I have now met up with several attendees and we had lunch today in Alice, some attendees have turned up earlier than they had expected to and they are now spending the night out at Ross River. We have some things to do early in town tomorrow for the GTG BBQ so we will be heading out tomorrow morning early. There are already some fantastic stories being told about the trips that people have taken to reach the start of the GTG.

                The Simpson Crossing went well with the only casualties being Stans rig which needs repairs in Alice.

                Our American guests have arrived one of which only made his flight down at the last minute and stayed the night last night with us. FlyNdrive and Wil from Sierra Expeditions have now picked up their rental Prado and they are out at Ross River as well.

                Our surprise 4th of July BBQ party will be totally unexpected by our American guests who asked if they could celebrate their Independence Day in a low key way as they did not want to be thought bad of. Yeah right guys we will celebrate it alright but not in a low key way. :lol: :lol: :lol:

                The first thing to be erected tomorrow will be the GTG Banner, I reckon that most of the early starters will have the chance to check out the local 4WD tracks around Ross River tomorrow.

                I just cannot believe that this day has finally come about, WOW, it seems like only 2 years ago that this was being planned. :lol: :lol: :lol:

                Cheers everyone and let the fun begin.

                      All the best for the get together - I'm sure all will go well and a great time will be had by all. Like many who couldn't make it I'll have to make do with the virtual trip so I'm looking forward to the progress reports and pics.

                        Great to hear some people are having a good time as I read your trip reports.

                        I am spending most of my time getting the Prado ready for the Simpson.

                          Well this is it, the time has finally arrived. The cars are packed the trailers are hitched, the kids are asking "Are we there yet!!!!" :lol: Some folks are already on their way and many others are just about to leave, so lets make this the thread for everyone to start posting their experiences in. That starts right from when you leave home to get here, while you are here and right up till you drive up your driveway when you get back home.

                          Cheers

                              Having a great time wish you were here. :lol: :lol:

                              Seriously the GTG is going well so far, I think most people, if not all, have enjoyed the experience so far. There will be some photos later tonight after we finish with our Overlander Steakhouse dinner. Some folks are currently mustering at Flynns Grave for the night drive.

                              Ross River was a great camp and I reckon a lot of people will look back on the last two days there with fond memories. I know we will. Getting to meet all the forum names and putting faces to them has been awesome.

                              Oh and a big thank you to all the helpers who have chipped in to lend a hand it was much appreciated at the party on the first night.

                              Stay tuned for more.
