I don't have a fixed camp location, but I tend to gravitate near 8:00 and J, which is where a bunch of Iowans set up coffee camp. My camp has a big, spherical shade structure made out of curved electrical conduit and silver tarp (Anxd it's called, though we often do without signage. Will list the location at Center Camp.)
