[Artemisia] Uprising Traffic Jam on Sunday

[morgan wolf]

Milady Christina, 

that does not resolve the problem of two people with large trucks and trailers in camps on opposite sides of the firelane needing to load up.  if the lane is only two vehicles wide then two vehicles block the lane, no matter how fast they pack.  As for the reduction in camping space, from what I saw there was as much empty space as there was used space, so we would lose nothing, the camp would just be wider and shallower, instead of narrow and deep (as our's was).  Our camp was mostly load-prepped,  (i.e. pre-packed and ready to load), my camp-mate still had to wait about 1 1/2 hours to get his trailer to our area because of the narrow roads and other people being parked there.  The only other solution I find is go get your vehicle really early, park where you want to, and let everyone else worry about everyone else.  This, to me, is not a very chivalrous answer.

Subject: [Artemisia] Uprising Traffic Jam on Sunday


In reading some of the posts on the Kingdom List, I found a few complaints about the traffic jam on Sunday at Uprising.  One possible solution I had heard was to try to make the roads wider (which would cut way down on the amount of camping area that we had).

But might I make another suggestion?  If everyone were to break down their camp, get all their stuff packed up and ready to load BEFORE they went to go get their vehicles, this would significantly cut down on the time that vehicles were sitting in someone else's way.

We did that this year.  So instead of having our truck sitting in the way for 2 hours or so, it was only there for about 30-45 minutes.  Then we said our good byes and were out of there!  

I am sure that if everyone did this we could all be in and out of the site and on our way home a lot sooner!

I hope this suggestion helps.
