TickFaw Run Need Some Info

I'm Planning on attending the Tickfaw for the first time this year. I have a few questions that i cant find answers to online.

1. Do you complete the run in one day of two?

2. If it takes two where to you stay along the route?

3. Are there slips available or do you have to pull the boat in and out?

4. Does everyone launch in the same place or are there multiple ramps?

Any help would be appreciated

The run is just one day, Sat. We always camp by Tin Lizzy's just outside of springfield right on the Tic Faw River. There are many other ramps around the lakes it just depends on where you want to stay and start the run from. I'm not sure on slips most people I know pull each night. Check out Crazy Charlie's web site for more info on the 200.

It's a one day event. You can park your boat at Crazy Charlie's at night. It is secure. There is a ramp not too far from Charlie's that most launch at. It is a good ramp. There are a couple of places to store your trailer, with security. Check out his website or call him. We had a great time last year, but it does get kind of crowded at the card stops.

The public ramp under the bridge on Hwy 22 is the best ramp but the layout of the parking and driveway can be a little challenging to navigate. As far as trailer parking, the Riverstop Chevron a couple miles from Charlie's usually let's people park their trailers there for free. Also, a friend of mine owns a mini-storage close to Charlie's which is secure. He may be willing to handle some weekend trailer parking. I will check and let you know. As far as crowded card stops, you may want to get with some locals. We tend to run the route a little differently sometimes to avoid the crowds.

Once he tries to get into sunbuns he will learn how the locals run it.
I always skip blind river and make sunbuns my last stop.
