After breakfast we tooled around the area some since we couldn't register for Americade until 10:00am. You know us, early birds! AMAZING how many motorcyles there are, the variety is vast. This is the first official day and many, many more bikes will come later in the week. We were told there will be around 70,000 bikes here!!! Registration went very quickly, even quicker for us. The lines for folks with names beginning with A - P were dragging, so even though we were outside wrapped around the building one of the staff members called for Q - Z people, sooo... we walked past all those A-P people and right up to the R line... ha ha... As we got booed (fun harrassment from those we walked past) I replied.... It's about time those of us at the end of the alphabet had an advantage! lol
After we registered we signed up for the Scavanger Hunt, a first for this year. We were handed a map and places we could get stamps. If you fill 8 of the 10 locations with stamps you get a ticket for a raffle - a $955 garmin GPS, yep, we started hunting locations and got 4 stamps the first day! not bad. We plan on getting all 10 locations stamped for 2 chances for the drawing. (We NEEDED that darn GPS to find some of the places) We'll have all week to find them all. We spent so much time on the scavanger hunt we lost track of time and missed the First Timers meeting... oh well, we'll just ask staff when we have a question.
John, did you notice we thought of you? This train was just sitting there, the poor engineer was just waiting and waiting....
