     Pilgrim,
     Been there - done that! Well organized and no Chaos...Drill is a piece 
     of cake. Participant queup starts at 0600...Try and bet there in the 
     Que early otherwise you'll be at the end of the line which runs across 
     the Mexican boarder. :-) Make sure your battery is good!
