I'm up for starting whenever too. I guess I'll probably end up leaving my house about an hour and a half early in anticipation of the traffic. (I'm coming from about 10 miles north of Lanc.) Hopefully I'll be able to go down some back roads and avoid the rt. 30 traffic.
How does the checking in and all work? Is there just a tent that you head over to and tell then you're name and whatever or is it more complicated than that?
