Super Saver Idea!

Many campers are taking advantage of cheaper airfares by coming a day early. If you are doing this, too, why not gather with the clowns Best Western Dakota Ridge Hotel in Eagan near the airport? To reserve your room, call 651-452-0100 and use promotion code "Moose Camp" and take advantage of the special discounted rate! Visit their website for amenities.

On Tuesday, our camp shuttle will pick you up in front of the hotel at 1:00pm and take you right to Moose Camp!

A few clowns are even making a mini vacation out of this trip - join them! To find out who else is staying at the Best Western, be sure to join the Mooseburger Yahoo Group and post your inquiry.

TRAVEL ARRANGMENTS

Arriving by CAR:
If you are driving to Moose Camp, you can find a map online by clicking here (http://mooseburger.com/camp/where.html). You can get driving directions to Moose Camp from anywhere in the United States by using Yahoo Maps; click here to try it ()! The address for King's House is 621 First Avenue South, Buffalo MN 55313.

Please do not arrive before 1:00pm on Tuesday. The King's House staff is getting the rooms ready from the group before us and will not be able to accommodate you before 3:00pm. However, Moose Camp registration and the Dealers' room will be ready by 1:00pm. Do not park on the street; take a right turn when you arrive at camp and use the main parking lot at the end of the road.

Arriving by AIR:
The Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport is the Northwest Hub, so it services all the major airlines.

Please plan your travel accordingly to allow for airport security, delays, etc. Make every attempt to book an early morning flight to arrive at the Minneapolis International Airport on Tuesday, NO LATER than 12:00pm. This will give you time to unload, collect your luggage, and meet the shuttle in time. In fact, the earlier, the better - that is the only way of preparing for airline delays!

The Moose Camp shuttle will pick you up at 1:30pm in the Lindbergh Terminal Baggage Claim, near carousel 11 and the firefighter statue. Look for the colorful Moose Camp banner and the huge gaggle of clowns - you can't miss 'em! You are responsible for arranging and paying for your own transportation if you miss the shuttle - so don't be late!

If you are arriving by the following six airlines: AirTran; Champion Air; Island Air; Widest; Ryan International; or Sun Country, then your plane will land at the Humphrey Terminal (the airport's secondary terminal) - this means you will have to hop on the free light-rail transit to get to the Lindbergh Terminal (the airport's main terminal). Our Moose Camp Shuttle will NOT pick you up at the Humphrey Terminal; it will ONLY pick you up at the Lindbergh Terminal.

There are no restaurants (besides a Starbucks Coffee) in the Baggage Claim area, so if you think you may be missing a meal or get hungry waiting for the Moose Camp shuttle, then please think ahead and pack yourself some snacks.

Departing by AIR:
Please make every attempt to arrange your departure for NO EARLIER than 3:00pm on Sunday. Camp is 1 hour from the Minneapolis International Airport. The shuttle will leave Moose Camp at Noon. Please plan your travel accordingly to allow for airport security, delays, etc.

Don't worry about missing lunch - there are MANY restaurants in the main concourse area of the Lindbergh Terminal (click here for a list of eateries)!

MOOSE CAMP SHUTTLES:
If you have not yet paid for a seat on the Moose Camp shuttle (this is different than the free Best Western hotel shuttle buss) and are planning on flying in to Minnesota, you had better sign up! We offer a round-trip shuttle for just $60. If you miss the Moose Camp shuttle or need to leave at a different time than we have scheduled, you will need to arrange and pay for your own transportation. We urge you to follow our timeframes so you do not have to pay an exorbitant price for additional means of travel. If you have not already done so, please call or email us by June 1st with your shuttle pick-up location:

"Best Western" shuttle - Will pick you up at 1:00pm on Tuesday in front of the lobby of the Best Western - Dakota Ridge Hotel in Eagan (read more above about the hotel).
"Airport" shuttle - Will pick you up outside the Lindbergh Terminal Baggage Claim of the Minneapolis International Airport. Wait inside near carousel 11 and the firefighter statue. Look for the colorful Moose Camp banner and the huge gaggle of clowns - you can't miss 'em! Moose Camp staff members will help to round up the clowns at the airport and escort them out to the shuttle.

RETURN: There will be only one Moose Camp Shuttle leaving at the end of camp; it will leave camp at 12:00pm on Sunday and take you directly to the Minneapolis International Airport's Lindbergh Terminal.
