Looks like Carl is wheels up at first light. I was thinking 0800.
Either way we can checkin enroute. I always seems to get fog when I expect a hard departure time.

On site food situation
 
I look forward to coming and camping, and feasting on Friday and Saturday nights at the steak and BBQ dinners. Is there anyone there selling food for breakfast and lunch, or will I have to camp-cook my own?
Thanks!

We are scattered out all over as we all arrive at different times, some near the tree line and some out in the open area. I like the open area better just in case a TS hits, but the shade under the trees is nice. You'll meet a bunch of nice people that too like the peaceful atmosphere in all kinds of planes. Bring some snacks/drinks.

We purchased breakfast each morning...paid at that time.
Sausage/eggs/grits/biscuits/gravy/packaged pastries/coffee/orange juice. Sun mornings breakfast had little to choose from as the vendor was using up remaining stock. I hope they plan on more people this year and purchase more up front as most distributors are closed on the weekend.

We brought our own lunches/drinks and not sure what was or is available for lunch.

Dinner was great Fri night, but again ran low on food towards the end of the long line. Sat night my family had salad, french bread bread ends and dessert and no backup plan other than our leftover PB/bread. They were nice enough to refund our money for Sat night. I understand it is not easy planning to feed several hundred people. Even with the little glitches, my family was ready to go back...if that tells you how nice the overall experience is. Like in all things aviation, have a backup plan.
