They will have barricades up for us during the day Wednesday, but they'll come down Wednesday evening.
I have asked about going and coming Wednesday. I can't think it would be a problem, but am waiting for an answer.
Enter through GATE 11 off of Fitzhugh Ave & tell the parking attendant they are part of “Hoot Island.” Your folks will need to manage the area (protecting your spots).
Everyone needs to get there asap Thursday as they can't guarantee us a place as the lot fills up.
But since we're at the end of the world, as far as parking goes, maybe we'll all be safe and settled by the time the rest of the phlock shows up.
Please remember to thank any staff that comes around ... and let's help them any way we can.
Your pal,

Gates are opening at noon on wednesday and closing at 10 pm, parking will be free if you have a ticket(parking is included in the price of the ticket) there might be attendants on the grounds but they will not be vary strict. you will be allowed to leave but your spot may not be there when you get back.

Hello my Texas friends. Long time, no see and unfortunately it will be a bit longer. I was hoping to make it down for Hoot Island II but it's just not working out. Time and money. I will miss seeing every one this year. Have fun!

It was back in the Ozarka donation days when I delivered water....it gets HOT in Frisco!!
I will be there about noon. I can't take MJM out of school until they take the "official" attendance.
I will TRY to get there by 11:30, but can't promise. If someone could put a chair in a parking spot I would appreciate it. Will pay you back somehow.
Some people never find it, some only pretend
But me, I just want to live happily ever after every now and then.

Sorry about the laminator but WOOOOHOOOOO on a new one
FYI on the grills....You can bring a grill as long as it’s propane instead of charcoal. Portable toilets will be available. There will even be a roaming convenience store stocking ice, bottled water, soda, plastic cups and paper plates.

Thank you ....I think I have some mixed in the fridge
Was hoping for some last minute schedule/finance luck but used up all my luck (and finances) with the IRS. So my goal of being a Secret Guest at Hoot Island (can locals be Secret Guests?) ain't happenin'. Just wanted to wish all blue skies and smooth sailing Thursday and sure wish i could join all y'all phine pholks.

Sorry guys, I haven't seen that tire swing in several years. I do remember having to climb an extension ladder to get the rope over the limb it was attached to though.
All that said - Where there's a will, there's a way...
It was a pleasure and a hell of an evening
Truly was our night to win
But the authorities insist on my leaving
Take care my American friend
