Wednesday :-). I think most of the regulars try to get there Thursday
evening, but there's usually one or two fruitcakes, er, I mean
enthusiastic participants who get there on Wednesday. Whatever your plans
are, clear them with Jon beforehand. Also remember that the earlier you
get there, the greater the odds that you'll be asked to help get things
set up and organized. Jon puts a lot of work in to this every year before
the bulk of the crowd gets there.

If you're planning on rolling in on Friday morning, it seems that most
people in this crowd don't like to get out of bed much before 9:00 or
10:00. I tend to gravitate toward that direction myself at home, but for
some reason when I'm camping I prefer to get up early and get things
started. Just don't start honking the horns to wake people up if you're
there before everyone is up and moving, unless you want your Jeep to be
dismantled later when you're not looking :-).

The easiest thing to do is point you to:
http://www.dakota-truck.net/meet/DMLBBQ01/map/

Scroll down to "Lodging Info". Hopefully that'll cover whatever you're
looking for.

Guess it's time to start getting excited about the BBQ. I've been
thinking so much about next year's Colorado meet that this year's BBQ is
sort of sneaking up on me. Definitely looking forward to it, though.
