If anything made it worse, it was the cell phones. There were a hundred plus guys in the lot at 5:00 pm Friday. Most were standing on the highest point or on their vehicle calling friends.
But in all truthfulness, you had to be under a rock not to know what was going to happen. Every year it gets worse. Last year they sold 300+ permits on the 10th and it was a week day.
Everyone vowed last year not to wait and to be there on the 10th.
THAT is what got me in line at 2:00 am.
It was not the internet. It was experience, common sense and the weekend opening.
