Why are you shooting for BFE? I think you are the first person to say they want to camp there.
it's the beginning of my honeymoon (what a badass honeymoon, eh? lol) and i'm hoping i'll score a bit more room since it seems like folks shooting for tent only will try to get in early and BFE camps first. also, i think the walk will be fun for pounding some pre game beer and making friends. annnd since there's less cars maybe there will be less god awful car alarms going off all night. lol.
