Do you have a phone cam (or regular cam) that you can take and post photos here of prep work and early arrivers staking out spots?

Thanks in advance.

I do, but didn’t get all the way down there (only on lunch break). Got held up on my walk by the number of tourists in town!!

Usually by this time, the number of tourists have dwindled from summer peaks, but it looked close to summer peak levels on the Mall. Gave directions to 5 different groups (I love tourists, so I always help when I see the tell-tale map, pointing and confused looks). All five groups were there for the rally. Everywhere you look there are people walking around with military T-shirts and hats, Restoring Honor badges and shirts, even some Don’t Tread On Me and 9-12 apparel. Everyone is upbeat and excited. Saw people from California, Texas, Arizona, Ohio and NYC.

Oh...and all 5 groups said they are trying to get down to the Mall by 5am! it will be packed!!!
