We will meet at the restrooms near the parking lot. There may be an entrance fee that you will be responsible for. Our group doesn't charge for our meet-ups. Dinner etc is at your own expense.

Really? I vaguely remember it being like $24 or something and paying on Pay Pal? I better check my Visa bills...sigh... ok. Wasn't there a fee for the dinner? or is it just get what you want and pay your own way?

Yes, get what you want and pay for it. No, there was no $24 charge.

Ted+1 guestVery friendly people and well organized. Pepsico grounds are fabulous. Weather was perfect. You are out in the open and any constant sun would had been overbearing.
