Cool! Glad you'll be able to make it.

Silly question... what's with the two day trip back home? Why not just stay
in the area as long as you're already there? Just curious. I know if it was
me, there's no way I'd be able to get anything productive done at home in the
middle of two trips like that.

Also, do you have a safe place to park your truck while you're back home? If
you wanted to leave it at the meet campground, you might be better off to fly
out of Colorado Springs.

There are a few spots available in DML HQ. However, in order to reserve your
own spot there, we've been asking people to go all or nothing and pay for the
entire duration ($152 for 8 nights). It's going to cost $1520 to have this
area, which has to come from somewhere.

In your situation, you might not want to fork out that much money for a few
nights, which I'd understand. Or, you might decide to be generous and help
out the rest of the group, that's up to you. Just wanted to let you know that
there are spaces still open.

If you want to contribute whatever you feel is appropriate for the time you'll
be there, we can't reserve a full spot for you, and you might end up sharing a
spot with someone. At this point, it looks like there will be sufficient room
to spread out, but you'll have to decide if you want to chance it. In any
case, I'm sure we can find a place for you.

I don't know what the situation is like in the rest of the campground. Since
you'll be there in the middle of a non-holiday week, it shouldn't be too bad,
but July *is* their busiest time of year...
