FF2015 grounds layout

[Grenadapult]

Could we volunteers be made privy to the planned layout for FF2015 yet? I realize we are still a couple of months out, but I only THINK I understand where the volunteers' camp are will be. I KNOW things will be different than last year, as well as changing as we get closer, but it would be nice to get access to perhaps a "rough draft" map of the Fest Grounds for this year.

Fred, whadya think?

I haven't seen the latest revision, but I'll see what I can find out.

8 weeks on the countdown, [gulp]. Anything yet?

FYI - Do not fly over the oil well that is along the tree line, out from the 3D flight line. Bad mojo there.

This IS the map, or will be when available? It says "2014" at the top.

Ah... I thought it looked dated. Let me ask.

Ok Fred, when we pull in with the popup camper, where do we put it??

I'd guess in the space marked as "camping"? =)

There has been talk of a designated camping area reserved for the volunteers so that we are all grouped together. The new Flite Fest 2015 map that was recently made available does not show that. I think that was the question that Grenadapult is asking.

Yep, that's exactly what I'm asking Sponz. I don't mean to sound ungrateful or anything, its just that we have a 12 hr drive ahead of us, and don't want to pull in Wednesday night to "Umm, lemme go ask ...."

Where I suggested it to be is in the soy bean area, opposite of where registration was.

It doesn't put us on the flight line, but it's a straight shot to the cleared area on the flight line. It gives us a little breathing space from the rest of the campers, so if we cut loose a little... it's not as obvious.

From the videos I've seen... it looks good.
