I'll post general Day 6 info and updates here.

People can use this to coordinate accommodations, meals, day trips, etc., or start your own topic if you'd like more eyes on it!

I've never camped here, I'm usually in Pacific Grove. The group does manage to get all together, I think there's so much space available that it works out. I'll ask around though...

According to the site I looked at there are 6 camping areas around Laguna Seca. I found a campsite for a tent at the Grand Prix dry camping. Haven’t booked it yet because I’m wondering where others are booking

In the same boat as above. Will we all be getting individual sites like at Casitas but trying to stay together, or is there a group site/prior arrangements/ some kind of deal? I’d like to book now if individuals… just over a month away!

Ok... so, in case anyone is interested, I called Laguna Seca and they had no specific group camp scheduled for the Airhead Parts Treffen so we decided to just book an individual spot there in the Grand Prix "A" campground. They were the least expensive and from google earth ground view, the sites looked pleasant enough. Some even had a nice view of the valley or the race track depending on which side of the road we get put on. Showers and bathrooms are within a short walk. No hookups, don't need them.
Note: they don't actually assign you your site until the day of arrival, so no way to really coordinate with others regarding adjoining campsites until that day.

As in last year and past years...many of the us Treffeners camp at the Grand Prix "A" Campground.

It looks like I’m going to assume……..no meet up in a closed off section of Pacific Grove this year?

So...in our Trish McD's Treffen Cruise Friends chat in Messanger, there was a comment from Thomas Husselstein about a dinner stop in Monterey.
Here is that info:
"Hello Treffeners, in Turlock we have a brewery called Dust Bowl and they have a location in Monterey.
For the night in Monterey they will be hosting us and we can park in the lot next to brewery at cannery row.
They will be posting a week before about the VW night in Monterey. It’s too bad about Pacific Grove but we have a cool place to go"

My old Chamber of Commerce contact retired, the new one doesn't seem in to it.
