Here's a report from Moorpark.

We got there at 8:45 pm. We went the back way so traffic wasn't so bad. Took about l/2 hour to get in the parking lot. Took us about 15 minutes to walk to the end of the line. There are literally thousands and thousands of people lined up to see him and this is 10:00 at night. We waited in line for 1.25 hours. I asked a police man his estimate for our wait - he said anywhere from three to six hours more. There aren't enough facilities to accomodate all these people, no water, etc. We left because we can come back and pay our respects once he is buried. As we left we saw tons of people streaming in and a solid line of headlights on the freeway.

People, if you are planning on attending - bring plenty of water and if you come during the day, you will be in the sun - there isn't any shade.

I don't think wearing fancy clothes is appropriate - especially heels. Coat and tie could be pretty stifling if during the daytime.

Never did see the FReeperBus but did run into Merry10 and PeoplesRepublicofLA.

I wore a jacket and tie today, and my daughter wore heels. Granted, the marine layer kept the heat off, but we brought our own water and were prepared to sweat more and stand longer.
Could we do any less?
President Reagan never removed his jacket while he was in the Oval Office.
