It will be my firrst Roo, but not my first circus. Just one quick question...what's the terrain like on the farm?
I say this as I busted my knee up pretty good last week. I'm defiantly putting surgery off until afterwards as I should be walking close to normal by then.
I'm trying to get a picture of how the basic footing is around the camping area. I can imagine how Centeroo would be pretty beat down and the makeshift stone streets shouldn't be a problem.
Opinions are like assholes folks - everyone's got one so let's here 'em
Most of it is rolling hills but no large hills. The terrain (offroad) is typical fields. Little uneven but nothing major. It can get messy and slick if it rains a bunch. As long as you can walk for reasonable distances the terrain should not be a problem.

Yup, pretty flat for the most part, and the roads are pretty even. Like troo said, the only thing that could be a problem is if it rains hard, could get slick or sticky.
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!
^^^^^^ I'm not sure if they are stone or not, but I remember from one thread some talking about makeshift roads that were visible from an arial photo. I guess that was my quick assumption. My bad if they are just packed dirt.
Thanks everyone! Any more opinions are still appreciated.
It looks like I tore my ACL. I did the same thing to the other knee about 10 years ago and I've got a pretty good hold on how things are going to go down. I'll just look to get my muscles firing again to give me stability...and hope not to find to many ruts in my stumbles to and fro.

Hi LJ-
Curious...do you think there's a chance your doctor may be able to hook you up with a temp handicapper until you get your surgery? Being in the accessible camping area would make life a lot easier for you...it will cut down on your walking considerably.
^^ Was just about to suggest that. I really don't think it will be a problem for you to be in "accessible" camping, I'd email the Bonnaroo people to see what they require. Maybe someone who's camped there before can add their experience.
i had a question too. if there is alot of rain on wed/ thrs, is it rough getting in? do a lot of people get stuck in mud? i have a F-150 and for some reason i get stuck in mud easy.

^Yeah, me too! If history is any indication, it WILL rain at some point during the weekend. Hopefully it's not too bad ('04?) and it doesn't happen until we all get in and set-up.
The farm is essentially flat. Their is minimal change in elevation. The roads are dirt and gravel. Some of the walkways in Centeroo are a hard plastic material. The rest is grass and dirt. They also put hay on any muddy spots. If we get a torrential downpour like in 04 Centeroo will be VERY muddy. Otherwise the whole area is essentially trampled down grass and dirt.
You will end up walking ALOT.
You should definitely get yourself parked in the handicapped accessible area.
And "stone streets" is a bad description. That makes it sound like their are actual rocks in the roads. It's just dirt and gravel. When the roads gets dusty they water them down too.
The campgrounds are ankle or calf-high grass. If it rains a lot that will get soggy.

I saw a lot of people stuck in the mud trying to get out Monday morning in 2005. It was kind of weird because I really don't remember it raining that much. Of course, I don't really remember much at all from 2005 (rookie mistakes).
Thanks for the idea about the handicap'able' area. I'll try checking in w/ the Bonnaroo peeps.
You think they'll have that area next to Shakedown? HA!
They will require that you have a state (your state) approved handicap placard or tag on your vehicle. You should be able to get your doctor to approve you for a temporary placard - I think they are good for 60 or 90 days.
