Make sure you wear shoes and clothes you are OK with throwing away. We were able to save our shoes but our clothes we threw away. They do have showers to change in and a place to wash off the mud. Make sure you take a full face head mask or bandana. They have them there to by for 5.00 if you forgot it like we did. Over all it was great, the staff…”
