Ronstockers, check in

My wife and I will be there.

I'd consider going but I would need some help. I'd be flying by myself out of LAX and wouldnt have a way to get there or to the events. If I could catch a ride with some of you that would be great (and make some Ron Paul friends!)

Why don't you take the LA Ronvoy route? It's only $175 roundtrip, and then they use that Ronvoy vehicle for transportation in-town as well. It's an option anyway!

You can find it at http://ronvoytotherally.eventbrite.com.

When ya flying in and out?
 
The problem is the Ronvoy only goes to select hotels (which I wouldn't have money for). I would have no way of getting 50 miles to where everyone is camping.

I am going but am also taking a Ronvoy, I am sure we can get there. And is it really 50 miles away?
 
Where, When, How... Need details on Ronstock. Where is it being held, will RonVoy provide transit there?

Ronstock is about 3 miles north of the town of Goodhue, MN.

I'm not sure when Kenny is opening and closing, but my guess is as early as Saturday and probably close Wednesday.

How? Bring a tent, food & water and you're set. Minimal facilities. We will have porta potties and I'm trying to rig up some showers (no hot water though).

Also, possibly some speakers and entertainment.
 
Goodhue is south southeast of Minneapolis near U.S. 52. The town is at the junction of state highway 58 and a Goodhue county road numbered nine. People coming in from the east or southeast will want to take I-90 to U.S. 52 and take it west (actually north by northwest, but it will be marked west) through Rochester, MN and turn north on state highway 58. People coming in through Duluth or from I-94 can take U.S. 63 to state highway 58. The junction will be just across the Mississippi. People coming in from south and southwest can hop off I-90 at U.S. 63, take it north to Rochester, and access U.S. 52 to get to MN 58.

People coming in from the twin cities can take U.S. 52 east to county road nine. Getting in and out of St. Paul can be done by taking either U.S. 52 all the way, or by using the Lafayette Expressway. The expressways around Minneapolis are complicated enough that you might make better time using Hiawatha, which is also state highway 55. This route is not expressway but it is very direct. The state highway 55 signs will take you right to the Target Center. State highway 55 shares pavement with U.S. 52 for a few miles, so it's easy to find.

I'll be checking to see how far out the twin cities' transit system(s) reach, and will post the nearest stop I can find.

I'll also want to stay past Wednesday a little. I have given my word more than once to help clean the place up, so given that I'll earn my keep I hope I'll be welcome...
 
Taking Metro in from outer suburbs looks lengthy and complicated. For those who are worried about downtown parking, however, or those who simply despise driving in a strange city in downtown traffic, there is a park and ride lot and a light rail station at Ft. Snelling (near the airport and the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers). Exit State Highway 55 at Bloomington Ave. and take train number 55.
 
This shuttle service only runs once a day, but it will get you to Red Wing which is about 10 miles away. Then maybe someone can make pick ups with a car from there?

Unfortunately, it won't get you there in time to catch the opening of the R4R each morning. It also requires you switch to, for example, train 55 of the Metro to get to downtown.
