We went to Gate about 8-9 years ago. We drove down, a 23+hour drive time, not including breaks for fuel and food, etc. We came down with two cars and about 8 people. The first day fighting was good, the people were OK. Then it rained that night. We stayed in a hotel about 30 mins from teh sight, except for one guy we brought who stayed on site. (we had newborn kids with us) The night life consisted of seperated camps, a modicum of drinking and the singing of disney songs around the campfire.
The next day, there was over 8" of water standing in the guys tent who stayed, the entire camping area was flooded out. THe field was like a sponge, it looked dry till you touched it. The second day of the event was cancelled entirely and we spent that day at our hotel sparring around.
The fighting and scenario battles were OK, the night life was lacking greatly, and the fact that they cancelled the second day instead of fighting through was a true disappointment. All in all I give this event a big thumbs down, sorry guys. Keep in mind my experience was 8 yrs ago or so and things may have changed there now.
