Well, John's off to the wilds of Winfield, dragging the camper and half the house with him. He called this morning (hey! the cell phones work there now!) to tell me he's parked, hooked up, and having his first beer, so things are going well. Wow, the house is sure quiet though... I expect to hear from him again in a couple of days, with a list of the rest of the things I'm supposed to bring when I go on Sept. 1st.

He says there are about 300 campers in "line" so far. They're separating the groups into Walnut Grove and Pecan Grove this year, which may help at Land Rush.

Bill D., if you find your ticket, for gosh sakes, frame the thing! And hang it on a wall where people will notice, so you can tell them all your outrageous lies (and some of the truths). Half the fun of wearing a Winfield tee-shirt is having people ask you, "where's Winfield?" so you can tell 'em what they're missing.
