I'm printing out my timeline, just need to know how much time to budget for the walk... 5 minutes? 10? 15?

ie. for an 11:00 turn-in, what time does my box need to leave camp? Just a suggestion please.

I've never cooked KCBS before (used to 60 minute turn-ins) so need all the guidance I can get, I'm nervous.
Thanks

Don't know about the walk but definitely check those turn-in times. I don't know of anything going in at 11. Noon chicken, 12:30 ribs, 1 shoulder, 1:30 brisket.

If the map is to proportion, you have a about a 1750 foot walk if you follow the directions below:

go left out of your camp, take a right on applewood dr, left on bar-b-q blvd and follow that around to the east side of the awards building. When you get to space 667 (my spot) take a right to go inside the doors and you'll see turn ins. Or follow Wyoming Street all the way around to lot C, might have less people walking it and could be faster.

Are you quick like a cat or more like a tortoise? What's an average walking speed? 3.5 miles per hour? At that pace it will take about 5:41 to get there - assuming you can keep the 3.5 mph pace the entire route. At a 3 mph pace it will take 6:39.

Math based on:
3.5 miles per hour - 5280*3.5=18480/60=308 feet a minute x distance
3 miles per hour - 5280*3=15840/60=264 feet a minute x distance

How many times are you going to tell us how close you are to turn ins? You are just depressing me!

Greetings guys, justr got back from a 3,000 mile cycle ride in Utah. Had a great time but got real excited when I started packing the trailer last night.

Are you all still getting the brethern together for a group photo friday night?

[KC_Bobby]

I hope Andy and Kim let me know how much time they are allowing for turn ins ... I think I can subtract a good 2 seconds off their allowed time. I have 200 feet or 40-45 seconds

MooCow has a distance of 1000 yards - that's 3:15 at 3.5 mph or 3:45 at 3 mph.

I may have to leave early to have time to stop for water before I head in the door.
Seriously though, Everybody be safe on the way in to town and have a good trip. I look forward to meeting everybody that I can.

You should just get behind some fast walkers and reduce your drag co-efficient.

You should run at least one box on Sunday It's pretty impressive!

Sometimes I have "Football Flashbacks" in large crowds. Hope I don't take anyone out who's carrying a box...
