Yep, you're certainly welcome to come on both days, Dean!
: What time on Friday do people start showing up?
About Wednesday or Thursday O'Clock. ;-)
Actually, its a mix. A few people do show up on Thursday to get
settled in, set up their camp site, or whatever, so they're all set to
go Friday morning, but other people just show up on Friday. As far as
the time goes, if you're planning to show up on Friday, pretty much any
time is fine. Most of us manage to work outselves into some semblance
of awake-ness around 9am (ok maybe 10am? some people are better than
others at this) or so, although we generally don't have a set schedule
for most things. So I should think that if you're planning on showing
up on Friday, anytime around 9am or later would be fine.
: For the people that have conditions that don't allow them to camp, what are
: the local accommodations?
There is a bed and breakfast just down the street (1-2 minutes) and
there are a few motels in Fredonia/Dunkirk (15 minutes). Contact info
and such can be found here: http://www.dakota-truck.net/meet/DMLBBQ01/map/
(The top section of the page is directions, the bottom part has the lodging
info.)
: I just dumped another e-mail to the crew to make sure they tell people they
: are coming. We had a great time last year, and look forward to this year.
Absolutely! :-) Its definitely sneaking up on us, and I've got to
get into gear to get ready! Fortunately the barn isn't too bad this year,
just have a pile of stuff which I need to find a place for (my brother
stacked all the couches, chairs, etc. into a 10x10x8 pile so that he could
use his gym again) :-P So we might be down a couple of couches this year.
Plus, although I haven't been down to check it out yet, Dad says there are
a TON of trees down in the woods so the trails are a mess. Right at the
end of winter we had a very wet and heavy snow which took down a whole
lot of stuff, so I'm not surprised that the woods are no different.
I'll be spending quite a few hours back there with a chainsaw to open
everything back up again. I've got a decent portion of the field areas
brushchopped, but I'll probably need to hit it again just before the BBQ.
