What time do the gates open?

Post by Ratty » Mon Aug 05, 2013 10:40 am

It's not always the same. I just received an email from Greeters with a totally different time than earlier announced. (I really don't want to post it and cause anyone to get there too early). In order to meet my campmates I would like to know.

Anyone have the scoop from a reliable source?

Survival Guide says 6PM Sunday. I think this is the 3rd or 4th year for that time.

Thank you Joe. That's what the Greeters Announce said. I love that the gates open while there is still daylight.

I'm giving this a nudge over to the Q&A board since that's a better fit for general Preparation questions.

+1 and definitive official answer in that gates are indeed 6PM on Sunday. Big thanks to the BLM for not only allowing it, but allowing us to publicize that so people can plan accordingly.
