Bill & Deanna -

Thanks for the headcount. It's about what I expected.

Our plan was for me to go down today, but with the temps above 100F, and with Lin still on the road and no one to tend the critters, I've wimped out to wait for her. We may go down to the pre-line sometime this weekend, or early next week; but we will certainly be there by the 3d for the Pecan Grove lineup.

Recent past years the count hasn't gone much past about 350 "waiters" by the start of lineup (the 3d this year) but the local economy may affect this year. Lots of people with less money than usual, but also lots of people with more "freedom" and "free time"(?). There should be at least 400 to 450 camping units in lineup by end of day on the 3d, so the pickin' should start if it cools off a little - or even if it doesn't.
