Hey Guys!   Lets play dirty!    Lets get wet! 

House Customs & Rules

These Rules are aimed at protecting nature, people, our ranch, and relations with our neighbors.  They boil down to common sense and common courtesy, and are not difficult. 

UPON ARRIVAL, MEET WITH HOSTS

• Discuss where to camp and where to park.
• Volunteer for cooking or dishwashing duty.
• Get a tent or sleeping bag if you signed up for one.
• Sign the agreement & waiver, which states:
  • I am over 18 years of age.
  • I came to the GrungeGuys Gathering intending to enjoy other dirty wet men, and to be one myself.
  • I am a man of honesty, responsibility, and integrity, and I will comply with House Customs and Rules.
  • I will hold Gathering site property owners harmless for any injury or loss to my person, vehicle, or property.

CAMPING

• Camp in mowed areas only.
• No vehicles in camp, except loading & unloading.  (Motorcycles & campers OK)  Keep vehicles parked in the upper pasture.
• Orient your camp away from property lines.
• Sleep in the barn if you like, or on the sleeping platform across the creek from the Mess Hall.
• No clothes hanging on fence.
• Minimum-to-zero lights, music, & machine noises.
• No loud partying in tent areas, just conversations.
• If you want a real bed without a motel commute, for an extra $25/night, reserve our (slightly rough) old Airstream trailer under a giant oak tree.
  • Double bed
  • Living room with small sleeper sofa
  • Electric lights
  • No plumbing or cooking
  • Please no Grunge inside! 

MOTEL

• If you're not comfortable camping or staying in the Airstream, the closest motel is the Holiday Inn Express in Lincoln. 
• There is no special motel rate for GrungeGuys.  (The Gathering doesn't generate much motel revenue.)
• GGG10 registration rate and meals povided for motelers are the same as for campers. 
• We'll miss the pleasure of your company while you're at the motel, and you'll miss much fun while commuting back and forth.

FOOD

• Meals provided:
  • Thursday:  Dinner
  • Friday, Saturday, Sunday:  Breakfast, lunch, dinner
  • Monday:  Breakfast
• Everybody participates in KP.  If you don’t volunteer, you’ll be recruited.
• Bring ice and/or a cooler if you can.
• BYO beverages, snacks, favorites, specialty items.
• Food in refrigerator; drinks in coolers.  Keep closed!
• Put food away so dogs don’t get it. 
• Cans & bottles are not trash – put in recycling area.

NEIGHBORS

• Neighbors are not queer.  Please be discrete.  We live near these neighbors every day, and want mellow relations.
• Stay clear of property line.  Be aware of neighbor sight-lines.
• Be on the look-out for sightseers watching the party (alert hosts if you find anything).

PREMISES

• Vehicle parking in upper east pasture at end of driveway.
• Camping in front west or rear west pasture.
• Stay out of front east pasture unless accompanied by hosts.

CLOTHING

• Clothing mandatory!  Boots and jeans required.  Jackets, shirts, & leather encouraged but optional.
• No exposed private parts outdoors, except for pissing.
• Nudity optional in tents & stone shower.  No nudity elsewhere.
• Don't leave your stuff behind.  Pack it in, pack it out.

PLAY

• Stay out of sight & hearing of neighbors.
• Mudding and pissing freely.
• Grease and oil only in the Lube Shop.
• Barn & Mess Hall play anytime.
• No shouting or load moans - keep it mellow!
• No outdoor sex displays.
• Very quiet after sundown.  Sounds carry!

GRUNGE CLEAN-UP (if you insist!)

• Mud & dirt:  Wash off chunks in ditch or mess hall shower (NOT stone shower).  Use stone shower for final clean.
• Greasy oily GrungeGear:  Wear it or keep it in your camp.  No dripping oil outside the Lube Shop.  Inside, clean it up!  (This has been a trouble spot in past years.  Please keep it cool!)
• Greasy oily bodies:  Wipe off with rags in Lube Shop.  Rub on plenty of mechanic’s degreaser before shower, then shower.
• No grease & oil in stone shower except after degreasing.  Leave the shower cleaner than you found it.  (Another past trouble spot)
• Anybody who plays in the Lube Shop gets to help mop up on Sunday. 
• Bring plastic bags to pack GrungeGear for your travel home.

SAFETY

• Be careful walking on uneven surfaces, climbing rocks, falling in the creek, etc.
• Watch out for sharp corners in the stone shower.
