We have been requested to be on the Federal Center and at the parking area they have set aside for us by no later than 0800 (8:00 am). We will stage outside of the Fed Center first, then move onto it as a group. Also, anybody riding on this mission will be required to wear a helmet while on the property. Make sure you have all documents with you and ready to show; drivers license, proof of insurance, and registration.
Staging will be at the parking lot just north of Alameda and east Kipling by the tennis courts. For anybody coming from out of town, Alameda is just south of 6th Avenue, which is west of I-25.

| I have talked with Steve and will be the RC for this mission. We are lacking information yet as to exactly where and if we will be allowed into the Federal Center. As soon as I receive this info, I will post a time and place for staging. |

| This mission is turning out to be a big deal, with lots of family and friends of the Soldiers attending. We have been asked to bring flags and set up a line for them during the Send Off ceremony. The Denver Police Department will be part of the escort to DIA, which we will also be a major part of. I am making a special request for anybody able to attend this mission to please do so, and to all that have the collapsible poles and flags to bring them with you. |

I will try to make this mission. I need a little better info on where to stage as I am not real up on the Denver area and do not know where The Federal Center is. An intersection would work as I can put that into the GPS. Aloha Steve "Daswampfox" |

Steve. The best response would be the north west corner of Alameda ave and Kipling St. in Lakewood. The fed center is west of kipling and takes up everything between 6th ave and Alameda. There is a park on the north east corner of Alameda and Kipling which I believe is the staging area. If you're coming down I 25 go west on 6th ave and south on Kipling. the staging would be on your left. |

| Steve, the staging area is directly across the street from the Federal Center. The information given in the above post by Vic is correct. If you put the intersection of Kipling and Alameda in your GPS, the staging will be on your left just before you reach Alameda. |

Mahalo (Hawaiian for Thanks) I tried putting Alameda and Kipling into the GPS and it says it knows how to get there. Hope it is right, it usually does not get lost, as long as I put the right location into it. Aloha Steve "Daswampfox" |
