Saturday afternoon is not the day to try and pull the boat out in the middle of the party. Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't know why you would even want to attempt it in the middle of everything going on. I would use the ramp by the bridge if I wanted to leave.
But that info should have been publicized ahead of time so people could make better arrangements; especially first time attendees. Some folks like and/or need to get on the road at 0-Dark-30 the day after an event; not to mention if someone has an family emergency or similar. They may not be leaving at that moment, but like to get their rig together. Also, what if someone has a hull compromise and is racing their bilge pumps to get back on the trailer?
If it's best to have the trailer/truck at a different location for a trailering/retrieval during and/or immediately after the event, then those logistics need to be arranged for ahead of time; with plenty of notification and information for newcomers and out-of-towners.

there is also a launch on the other side of the bridge (tin lizzys landing)...not public but pretty nice as well, i'd check with them on the fee for pulling your boat out but it's not going to be ridiculous so it's worth a try. Not sure how crowded it gets over there either... I do understand the need and desire to pull out your boat asap and party though 
its all a great time I can assure you of that!!!

How far is that from Bloodriver Marina? I understand that's where most of the parties are at. Where should I be looking to stay to keep the action in earshot?
