Just making sure. If I show up the day before digfest and camp out it is free as long as i dont dig right? And i should have to pay the normal $40 for all day dig the day of digfest. Do I have that right? Also Hal I plan on following you eveywhere you go and Stealing you're secrete digging spots and techniques! I need a crash course on hill country digging 101

That is correct Josh, arrive Saturday, it's free, Read a book , polish the car etc. But you've already
spent the gas money, if your there around Noonish, you might spent the extra twenty bucks [ half day price ] and get to it .
There probably will be quite a few other campers / diggers there early, most campers dont show up after dark.

Ok to dig in my "hot spot area" but I wish you hadn't put it out on the WWW, Were liable to have
50 people trying to dig in a 4 foot area.
Kinda like how many bodies can you cram into a small
vehicle or telephone booth

You are right should just spend the extra twenty and get started I have some spots im not willing to give up on yet
