I've always gotten there late -- between 7:30 and 8:00 I think -- which is probably when just about 2000 others are getting there too. So, the line of cars to turn into Camp Parks is long, the registration line is long (it was RIDICULOUS last year), the line to the bathrooms is long. It's probably smart to get there early (or really late) to avoid the lines. Meeting up at 7:30 sounds good to me.
