Country crossings - tvguy - 07-26-2018 A while back when I heard there would be no shuttles like last year from parking areas. I wondered how in the hell could they fit all the cars in at the Expo. Now I see on the news that Scenic, Crater and Jewett elementary schools are where people are supposed to park. And pay 20 or 25 bucks per day. They had a news reporter walk from the shortest distance which was Scenic. And it took her 45 minutes to walk 1.3 miles. Apparently that's because she had to stop for water breaks like 4 times?? Anyway 45 minutes is ridiculous but still that's a long ass walk with this smoke and these temps. I'm sure glad I don't like most of the crap they call country music these days.

Between the heat, smoke, drunk yahoo's, absurd parking arrangements, crowds, etc. there is ZERO chance of myself attending. My wife even won two free general admin wrist bands last year, we sold them on CL RE: Country crossings - tvguy - 07-26-2018 (07-26-2018, 01:10 PM)GPnative Wrote:(07-26-2018, 12:22 PM)tvguy Wrote: A while back when I heard there would be no shuttles like last year from parking areas.

RE: Country crossings - tvguy - 07-26-2018 I looks to me like a LOT of people are going to lose money getting stuck with tickets.

Yea it does, I bet the smoke and heat has more than a few people changing their mind about going.

Or they go the first day and decide to not come back.What a clusterfuck RE: Country crossings - Juniper - 07-26-2018 No shuttles and smoke sounds like a disaster. They'll move it back to the coast if they don't straighten their act out. RE: Country crossings - tvguy - 07-26-2018 (07-26-2018, 04:10 PM)Juniper Wrote: No shuttles and smoke sounds like a disaster.
