Training Camp Info?

So since we moved to the new board and I had a peek around, have we posted the training camp information for peeps (and or pinned it) and I'm just missing it?  Looking forward to seeing everyone again for sure, but for anyone's first time, we should probably get the information together - places, schedule, where peeps will be etc. If I just missed it while adjusting to the new forum software, link me and I'll delete this post lol.

Just got a new camper, been thinking about heading up to meet a few, greet a few, drink a few... it would be great to have it pinned so I can get the logistics planned.

What is the general consensus for which weekend to go. This very well may be the last camp in Mankato.

VikeFans.com will be there Aug 2nd through Aug 6th

I know people are staying at the campground Land of Memories (I think) but spots were filling up. Though there may be other campgrounds. 

Hotels were filling up fast too. 

Let's get a plan together to do a bash this year!

I posted a thread (before site changes) "Vikings announce 2017 Training Camp Schedule" looks like it's gone???  zucks 
anyway I booked two sites in Land o Memories C-9 and c-10 for Friday and Saturday Aug 4th and 5th.  Room for two tents otherwise There are some spots left but not next to those.  One is fairly close.  
Friday night campfire, I'll have a camper and a grill and electric.  
Jake's Stadium pizza between morning walk-through and evening practice.

It's okay Mike, you don't need to take time to find it.  This thread will be fine.

I posted the training camp schedule here as well. Looking forward to seeing everyone and possibly meeting some new visitors. I can't believe it's the last one in Mankato. The place in Eagan is massive.

If anybody is looking for a room in mankato for that weekend and doesnt want to spend like they are playing monopoly,  this place looks decent and was only $76 per night.  I asked and as of today they still had about 15 rooms left.

@"Al (The Lochstar) Heurung" do you have room to transport a monkey in a cage home from training camp? This is a real and serious question.

I am getting the distinct impression Scott might want to do a fish fry... anyone else get that vibe?
