April 2013 was the last for me. I arrived early as usual Friday. I waited on 31 for 20 minutes. it took me 2 hours to enter the driveway.
all the years before I parked in the front lot. April I was parked in the half full furthest over flow lot. All the activities were bucked up.
All the prices where 4 times last years. the crowd was so thick I could not enjoy the shoots.
I will miss it. it was a great shoot.
Oct 2012 I talked to the rep for Chiappa now I loved the Rhino 4 inch and about Rhino 5 inch nowhere to be found. 2 weeks later I had one at a very good price.
Change of plans. Now going on Friday. Am meeting some friends near the Louisville Airport at 4am and riding in from there. They go every year and always arrive by 5am. We plan in leaving early in the afternoon and I hope to make it home by 9pm. Plan in taking lots of pictures.
Plan on picking up something unique while I am there, to take back to Dad's gravesite. This trip is to fulfill a dream, that he never carried out.
the breakfast doesnt open till 7 but could get there super early for parking. so your not parking forever away.
I don't think my new P.O. would appreciate it.
ENJOY! Make sure to take PLENTY of pix and videos so you can show me later!The guys I travel with, have been going for years. They are older and like to park close to the line. One dude is in his late 60's. When you get to that age, getting up at 4am seems to be the standard.
