Does someone mind giving me a quick rundown on the events, and where I should stay? I'm going to do the run, but have never been to SML. Where and when does everyone put in? Where do you stay? And is it within driving distance of the ramp? Where do we park rigs? I just don't wanna go up and be any more of an idiot than necessary.
We are running it again this year, leaving from SoMD on Friday morning to trailer down.
When we went to Solomons last summer with Brad, what did you tow your boat with? I was trying to remember.
PM me if you have any questions.

yes, Mariners Landing is where you want to stay, ramp,start,stop and party are all right there, and there will be a shuttle this year as well to take you to and from Mango's for the friday night party.
and there is plenty of parking for the rigs and trailers there as well

OK - I've reserved the houseboat (a.k.a. MotherShip) for Friday through Sunday with optional extra days. I got the only one with twins, to help in towing the little boat(s) around with us. The cool part is that we pick it up right across the street from Mangos, which will make Friday night much simpler. We'll run the entire package down to Mariner's Landing Friday evening or Saturday morning and anchor out.
Unless Will can find us a dock spot.
After all, I thought that I heard someone say something about a dock party????

Couldnt remember your truck.....one ramp is quite steep, and it helps to use 4 wheel low to come up. The other ramp is ok, we just used the steeper ramp last year.
