A little over two hours from the ticket/will call area to RV parking during the morning rush. We're in, set up, and happy. Happy Lockn', all!

VIP Car camping:
Anyone know if they are just filling up "Steeple Chase" first, or letting people choose between the infield and steeple chase?
Would love to get a read on space in each area at the end of the day, too.
Thanks and have fun y'all

Just arrived in RV...breezed thru...literally no wait at all and for a search only the quickest peak inside our cooler. Except they ran out of wristbands so gotta wait at the campsite for a bit. No biggie

Arrived at 2 am, spent the night in the Food Lion parking lot with about a hundred other cars, no hassles. Went for breakfast at 8 and then got an early checking in at the B&B. Just woke up from a long nap and ready to ROCK

There is no line for RVs. We just drove right in, they checked for bottles and we setup our camp.

Took 20 minutes to go through security and 40 to get to my site. I'm about a 15 minute walk from the stage.

Wow, that's world's away from last year. We came in the GA RV line. No search at all, we just rolled in along with the rest of the RVs. No one got searched. Gave us bracelets on the road, but we never hit a processing area. Been here and getting set up for over an hour.
I got in pretty early, maybe 7ish? Very light search, slight delay getting to my spot. Dude asked how many beers I had, I said 24 but he wanted to see them
It was four six packs. He tried to take one, saying that he is supposed to take two. I was like, hold up, nuh uh. A case is 24, I have 24 total. He was like, ok brother and sent me on my way. Props to that friend. SUPER cramped with all my neighbors. Worst I've ever seen. Just finally put the finishing touches on my spot. Lounging and trying to dry off in hopes I can catch some winks. Doubt it though, I'm sticky and it's kinda. Not awful hot, but hard to sleep in hot. Hope everyone else had a good experience. It sounds like most did.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using proboards
I'd say he was trying to shake you down so he could end his shift with some beer to take home. Reminds me of crossing borders in Asia
back in the day with your duty-free goods bound for the black market. Pathetic but if they have the power, or ability to make your life
miserable....Hope this experience was the exception and glad you were able to play through. I'll watch for that tomorrow--and watch out
for you and a cold brew!

That was one incredible experience! So many coincidences happened, and numerous "You had to be there's" happened that weekend!
Magical to say the least.

Thanks Bill! Hope to see you next year.... and if you ever come out to the NW you know who to contact! Buddy74, yes, agree.... I stayed in camp a little too much I think. The humidity really got to me. Have fun passing out those stickers. Can't believe we didn't realize we were right across from you all until way late.

Hugs Cold Rain and Snow! My best friend in Michigan is seeing LOS tonight. I told him to hug Vince for you. He said "nah".
People can you feel it? Love is everywhere!
