Make sure you let the bar owner at crossroads know you are with the "van group" at the fairgrounds. He was pretty sure that we wouldn't go to his bar because people don't leave the fairgrounds when they camp there. So after a lot of discussion he did donate to the Nats. It is 3 miles down the road.

I then suggest eating at Abells for dinner or breakfast.

Just another question, others have stated we will have electric & water, looking at the map the area (#3) with electric & water appears smaller, we are pre registered (#171) so does that mean we are already asigned a spot? The concern is we are not getting there till Thursday and if 1st come 1st serve we would be out of luck. Just need to prepare if that is the case.

Its first come first serve, no assigned spots, no roping off area. I dont see you having a problem with electricity, however, water and shade may be an issue.

Yep water and shade thats the concern! Of course we are newbies and do not have any vanner friends till we meet every body, do we just drive around the grounds till we find a possible spot? Don't want to pull in the first open spot if there are better ones. Thanks for all your help! cheers
