So I did extend out the hotel through the weekend...it's really hot, it's supposed to rain, and truth be told - I was really unsure what I'd find at the Iowa State Fairgrounds and what the tenting situation would look like. So I hedged the options - went to grab a site and held onto the hotel room. Not ideal - but hey, why not.
I made it over to the fairgrounds - registered - and promptly set up my tent. I met Todd - who has been there since Tuesday night and he was sitting on a bench - waiting. Waiting for arrivals to watch everyone set up their tent. He was really funny - and took some pics while I set up camp. Turns out - was unable to cancel my hotel reservation for tonight but will move out of the hotel tomorrow morning (Thursday) and become a fixture at camp. Signed up to volunteer tomorrow morning selling some charity tickets - great way to meet peeps. Just being around so many BMW motorcyclists is kind of amazing...will post more pics when I can.
