Prepare to do a lot of walking.

You are allowed to bring in food and drinks. I usually stop at the gas station on the way there, grab a sub, beef jerky, gatoraide, water, etc. so I don't have to worry about prices in the park. There is good food in the park, I'm just cheap. They sell beer there and I've brought beer in.

I wear a backpack and leave a wagon in the car in case I see something heavy I want.

Bring a poncho and umbrella in case it rains.

Bring cash. Large vendors usually take cards, swap meet people don't.
Great, that is what I was looking for. I was starting to make a list of what I want or need. Walking is good.
I was hoping to see some 67-72 parts plus '57 Chevy Two-Ten/Belair parts for a friend.
Hopefully they have the dealer list, and what they carry, so I can D/L it before the trip.
Food and water are always in my bag, but a sandwich is a great idea too.

Thank you,

Bill
