When we got to the NJMP on Thursday, we saw the line of early-birds waiting for the gates to open at 4 p.m. As you see the pictures of the facility, there are areas of recent landscaping and a lot of dirt area...when the grass takes for next season, this all should be a memory.
The Ticket House just outside the Main Gate served as Registration central.
Pre-registration helps a lot...you just pick up your passes and your goodie bag.
