Agree 100%.:-) Joe, basically, bring something to sleep in, tent, car, boat, what ever. Bring rain gear, it rains thursday night, trust me on this one.:-0 Every one is allowed to camp for the weekend in the picnic area, which has 1 washroom, no shower. PDML central is located beside the washroom. Read into that what you will. Everyone seems to bring some food, brats, burgers, coffee etc, and there is a Sat dinner supplied if you sign up for the contest, and a Sunday brunch for under $10.00. There is usually a LOT of gear at PDML central, so if you need to borrow a lens, its probably there. If i was going, i also bring my Nikon stuff. It is a blast.
