Well, it's not really honoring Willie, but anytime I get to go walk the place my friend loved, I go.

We loved going years ago but it got so crowded we stopped. Haven't been back since around 2015.
Is it still super crowded these days?

Like I say, it used to be a lot of fun but the last time we went I decided I would rather pay twice the ticket price if it would cut down on the crowd than to ever go back to that goat roping again. Way too many tickets are sold for that event and it takes away from the enjoyement.
We used to camp at the KOA and I had to run up to Summerville that morning to check on the dog. By the time I came back down cars were backed up a mile both ways on 526 that morning and Hwy 17 wasn't any better.
It was so crowded that getting a beer or taking a piss was nothing but long lines. Didn't even try to eat oysters there. Got irritated and left early, went back to the campground and got hammered.

My woman requires the VIP pass. We don't like mingling with the Dirty North. It was enjoyable last time we went. We do have a get hammered fall back plan. Like I said Willie was a damn good friend for over 25 years and we get to stay in touch with him in spirit. I make sure Nan wears her nice bracelet so Willie knows he missed at least once. ( great story there) He was one hell of a guy.

By all accounts, he did a tremendous amount for the sporting community. Enjoy!
