Are you driving all night? Please be careful. I don't know the answer to your question but there is parking up front you can probably use. Someone did that at our campground in Amarillo last night. I assume they paid in the am when the office opened.

Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta National Rally 2014
Packed up, hitched up and headed from the east side of ABQ to Camping World on the west side. Going to make one stop prior to arriving at the rally point for vittles. Really excited to attend this extravaganza extraordinaire.

This wonderful experience has been marred by having an inconsiderate neighbor with a set generators running all day long about 10 feet from our front door. Our rig is full of fumes and we can't sit outside and enjoy any relaxation time. Last time I ever attend a big rally.

Why don't you offer to loan him an extension cord, explain the fumes situation, and ask him if he wouldn't move the generators to another location.
We all have to make an effort to get along.

Tried to do just that, but he flared up before I even had a chance. I understand that lots of folks rely on their generators, especially for air conditioning. But, the weather here is glorious and we are parked very tightly. I agree, we need to make an effort to get along.

Having a great time, fabulous weather, fireworks were as good as Ken said they would be. Solar is working even better than I hoped with one 100W panel, haven't even unpacked the generator.

Our solar has worked great, too. Got down to 60% charge this morning, but it's back on the way to 100% with all this sun.

Perhaps someone would go to the balcony of the Balloon Museum and take a picture of all the Airstreams.
