Humm, our plan was to close down the park on Saturday and sleep in Sunday before hitting the noon hub meet.

Well F' that! It's time for a new plan.

We'll close down the park on Saturday and make it back early for a Sunday sub run! No pain no gain says I.

So with an 8:00am opening (which implies no rope drop) what time do you all expect to be at the gates?

That's a complex question. The parking structure doesn't open until 7:30am or so, which puts us behind all the hotel guests in the area, who have early shuttles and such. Meeting earlier means parking elsewhere and walking long distances, or even taking public transit.

Either that, or while cars are waiting in line for the structure to open, some jump out and head for the gates to reserve a spot. That would totally suck for those in the cars though.

I just had a look at OCTA's site and they actually recommend using both their own "Just Click" trip planner and Google Transit. I tried both and Google Transit gave me three options, while Just Click said "no trip plan found". Guess I need to grab a bus book from work.

If the park opens at 8:00am, what time do the gates really open? Could some of the "hotel guests" who just happen to be staying literately across the street save spots for people?
