Yeah, I know I shouldn't be worried about leaving a festival that hasn't even started yet, but I am an obsessive 'think-ahead' kind of person. We plan on leaving mid-Sunday because me and my girl want to head to Atlanta for a few days before taking the long trek back home to our real lives. She used to go to school there and wants me to see what it is all about.
The question is, how possible is it to get out of the campsite on Sunday afternoon? Is it still going to be wall-to-wall cars lined up and we just have to depend on fate to leave on Sunday?
I noticed that around mid Sunday last year that we could have broken camp and left at any time if we were so inclined. But I guarantee, you'll have a better time at 'Roo on Sunday night than you ever could in spooty old Atlanta. I have a vendetta against that city.
Its definitely difficult, but do-able. We got out sunday evening, just as the headliner was starting last year, and let me tell ya, it was a bitch! But, we did it.
I think it will just depend on the situation, you'll have to wing it. If you get out, awesome, if not, manhandle a few cars, and if that doesnt work, screw it! Go to another show!

If it looks like you may be blocked in by lots of cars, ask your neighbors when they are leaving. We got worried about that last year but when we asked them, most were leaving before us and by mid-afternoon on Sunday, we could have easily got out. Sooo many people drive from other states and need to get back for work on Monday.
It will be a crapshoot. I've almost always been able to get out by 6-7pm Sunday but only once by midday (I was parked on the end of a row so I could get in and out whenever I wanted.)
So here is my leaving on Sunday story.....last year we planned to leave around 2pm Sunday so we got up early and packed all of our stuff. We asked the people behind us if they woud move their car at some point so it would've been a straight shot out. Of course they agreed. We wanted to check out some music and eat before we left. So we head to centeroo with the assurance from our neighbors that they would move their car by the time we got back. So we return around 1:30 and they arent there and their car isnt moved. So we wait....and wait.......and wait 9pm rolls around and still no sign of them. Now we are really irritated but we dont want to leave the site in case they come back. Then eleven rolls around and still no sign of them. They return at midnight. Needless to say we camped in our car that night and left in the morning. No words exchanged
We made it out Sun Morning last year (unfortunately had to work Monday Morn - yuck). No way in heck would it have happened if our neighbors would not have helped a lot! Thanks agian neighbors!!! We were in waaaay BFE, too! People are usually great and very helpful - I love ROO!
