Gary and I are on site for the duration and have "tentatively" staked out group 2.  We are a contiguous block 2 rows west of Group 1 at 55th and Lindbergh in Camp Scholler.  There were sites closer however there was heavy rain last night and a lot of standing water/mud/etc.  Gary (he got here first) wisely chose the high ground! I will post more later, but a few notes of interest:

- Crowd actually appears down a bit from last year.  Gary and I commandeered 3 wood picnic tables for use in the HQ area.  This would have been unheard of in prior years.  We also have a couple of smaller, regular tables for use.

- mosquitoes are BAD in the late evening.  Bring your bug spray and be prepared to do battle.  Brenda had a citronella candle that may have been effective.

- WiFi is not yet functional.  There is good RF signal strength and I can "see" at least a half dozen access points however no actual Internet connection results yet.

- We have Gary's motor home oriented to provide shade for afternoon gatherings.  Additionally, we have 2 10x10 canopies that we'll set up over the tables tomorrow.

- Susan acquired an industrial coffee maker at a garage sale and brought it along.  Assuming it works, we'll have coffee in the AM for those that don't want to make the walk over to the camp store!



I will send pictures and GPS coordinates tomorrow.



Bob (and Susan, Gary, and Brenda)

Sites are staked out and awaiting "official" tagging which will take place in the morning.  Attached is a picture (sorry about the size) taken from 56th & Lindbergh looking at the group 2 area to the southwest.  For those wanting more specific location: 43 deg 58.493 N, 88 deg 33.900 W.



I'll send more pictures to Tim later for him to post and save the bandwidth on the list.

People are REALLY pitching in to make this a great year and place to be.  First, thanks to Steve D. for the donation of the flush handle set and to Bob L. for buying it!



Michael Sausen stopped by today with a lawnmower and folding table to leave here for our use.  In case you're wondering, Gary and I aren't planning on becoming lawnboys...  Michael is also going to bring by a large grill and a 10x20 canopy for more shade.  We have Gary's motorhome parked facing North so we get a lot of afternoon shade from that and also have 2 additional 10x10 canopies.  All of that combined with the picnic tables that we scored plus folding tables we already had will make this a LOT more comfortable than prior years.



WiFi is working (mostly) here at Scholler now.  Bandwidth seems to be poor at the moment but a big step forward from zero.  I'm trying to send Tim some pix to post but it's slow going...
