That's my concern. Where the hell do we camp? Is there a public campground a few miles out of town or something? What about the Horn Rapids County Park mentioned on the flyer we got at the Yakima show? Should I call them and find out what the scoop is?
Something tells me that trying to crash in a parking lot or outside the host hotel is just asking for trouble. I don't mind trouble, but I need my beauty sleep.
Online weather forecast is calling for a slight chance of rain in the tri-cities on Saturday. Should be raining up here most of the weekend. |

| Not much bubble making allowed in Walmart parking lots, unfortunately. |

| I just emailed a guy that works for my company that lives in Richland to see if he knows any good spots. I google mapped the area, and if you look just north of where Rosy's Dinner is, there is an Amon Park Road, that ends at a boat launch. It has a big paved parking lot, and even a dirt parking lot too. Looks like less that a mile to the show too. Would suck if it has a gate though.... |

| Most of those places have signs posted saying "no overnight use". Cops like to hassle people for doing just that, especially a bunch no-good VW hoodlum hippie types. Not trying to be negative, just realistic. |

Normally the host hotel is the best place, that is where the party is and just crash in your bus back in the corner. Cops will cruise it I'm sure, but a campground won't be much better come 10pm, you need to shut it down.
Someone in the area with a cool yard, needs to host the traveling folks!
Adam will be contacting me today, if he goes, he may get a room at the hotel. |

| Maybe we could just throw down and pile a few guys in a hotel room. I'll crash on the floor, no problem. |

Yeah, a room is about $90 or so, maybe get one on the side everyone else from Boise is going to stay?
Wonder is Lind is coming with those guys? I tried calling him at Yakima and e-mailing last week, nothing.... |
