Concrete rehab work is scheduled at the Fish Lake interchange in Maple Grove. The ramp from northbound Interstate 494 to westbound I-94 will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday.

Dean,

Can you include a map of where this is?

This is the best map: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/closuremap.html

Note - if you are coming from Wisconsin - Westbound 94 through downtown St. Paul will also be closed. And the Northbound alternate route on 694 to loop around it will also have lane closures.

The map below is too wide for the forum so see the link I posted above too.

If you are coming in from Wisconsin, I would recommend 94 west to 694. I was going to recommend taking US 10 but forgot the construction at 35W.

Is camping open again this time?
And who's staying out there?

Neither Joel or I are going to be camping so it's pretty much closed unless there is another club member on site to be your host. If you need a place to crash, PM me and I should be able to find you a couch and a shower somewhere ;)

Caught that in the PM, forgot to follow up here.
I'll figure something out. ;)
[Remind us for future shoots, we'll have to make a note on the event information page that camping is 'as conditions permit' or something along them lines.]

See you there!

We do really need to do a better job recruiting more Elk River members. I am as much to blame as anyone I suppose. I am going to make a bigger effort going forward.

Sounds good!
