the mistakes you made at 2012 SOWO that you'll avoid in 2013...

[dragon69185]

1. Get there earlier. Got to Helen Thursday afternoon and left Monday morning and still wished I had more time up there.

2. Drive the mountain roads more up there, as well as cruise the city more.

3. Visit the goddamn black bears!

4. Take more photos of the town.

5. Meet more peeps to associate faces with names.

All in all, a pretty successful SOWO. Stayed in a cabin which was 2 minutes outside of town (in the Gated Golf Course community right next to the field entrance), went tubing on Saturday and got some free beers , hung out with new and old friends, and all in all had a pretty chill weekend.

[Ilala819]

Making sure I get a cabin with Wifi cause I was phoneless the entire weekend! Also waking up earlier to enjoy what Helen has to offer, I found myself waking up at 10 everyday LOL

[MarcMiller]

If i go next year..
1) stay at the helendorf
2) wake up early and go to the shows....i missed every one
3) not drive down 13.5 hours on 17x10 wheels all around on a 205/45 nankang.
4) not have a blowout going 80mph 40miles away from helen.

sunday night it was a friggin ghost town tho, that sucked. cmon peeps stay til monday

passing out? did that at waterfest 05 and 06, then drove down to Myrtle Beach for more RNR after Waterfest -- talk about an epic drive, FML. left NJ at 830am and got to MB at like 130am. :-/

tube with a bear or a beer? lol we went tubing each with 2 beers in our pockets, by the time we got 3/4 of the way down the river man, i was in pain. by the time i got out i was ready to die.

i made the mistake of tubing in regular shorts not swim trunks. hahaha

we had a lady from the banks yell at us for having beers on the river -- my bottles were empty and i kept them til we got out. i wasn't about to throw the bottles in the river. i'm not a schmuck. but it was like "lady what do you want me to do at this point? chuck the bottles in the river?"

[LIFE.:R]

Hahaha, yeah throw them on the bank or on the rocks!?!? Id woulda said " it's my vacay, deal w/ it-cheers" !!

[Righteous Bucks]

Hahaha, yeah throw them on the bank or on the rocks!?!? Id woulda said " it's my vacay, deal w/ it-cheers" !!

i couldn't do it, holding onto the bottles til we got out was the least of my problems, having to piss so bad it hurt my abdomen, that was the hard part. then i get out of the tube and get a spasm in my calf........lol FML

[vdubgirlx3]

+1 to the staying a whole week. Came down thursday and still didn't feel like it was enough time.

Will take more pictures/video/have better equipment
Might split a condo with friends, should bring the cost down.

Other than that I'm pretty satisfied with what I did this year

Im looking at condos right now.

1. actually plan out the vacation.
2. have money put to the side specifically for a vacation.
3. try to have my car ready.
4. try to stay longer than two nights.
5. not fall asleep in the tube and think that i floated to the nxt town. (woke up quite confused until i looked behind me and realized i went a hundred feet in almost an hour).
