Site 18 in lower loop is booked. As for what to bring to cook, I have some ideas. The meat is covered right? So I am thinking sides. I can make the bacon potatoes I made last year and/or some grilled cabbage with fatback. Thoughts?

No way I can be down there on Thursday. I'm going to try to be there Friday before the gates close. I'm taking off Monday from work.

I can bring sides and dessert for Saturday. And some breakfast stuff for Sunday morning.

I just reserved site 2 on the other side of the of the loop. Trying to secure the area for sound. Lol. I am going to make a run up to the mountains and pick up some of my regular party contributions. See if we can get an appearance from Marty the glass eater or maybe even Darth Bob.

Woot! Slowly turning into a party. But it aint official until Marty the glass eater shows up.

It would be awesome if Bob could make the trip.

April will be here in no time.

It looks like you've found a nice alternative. Curious on how it sets up and what it looks like\fit once it's on.
