Both me and my bike are getting older and creakier, so we will tend
to behave better and better as time goes on.

Remember, small trip rules, we do what we do when we get there.

It tends to work out better with the fewer folks anyway.

Smaller trips have always been more fun, IMHO.

I will know for sure the 6th of may,  I have my oncology test results due to the doc by then and will know what kind of treatment (if any [fingers crossed]) i'll have to do.
If not I will get a cabin if someone will go in half with me, if not, i'll have to suck up with the missus for about six months! LOL Grin
I'll plan on getting there wed. (with bike in back of my truck!) and leaving sunday morning, unless I have to lock in the weekend also, then i'll leave on monday morning (and i'll really have to suck up to her, plus some!).

Question, what is the parking like? If I bring my truck, could I feesably use it to camp in? I used to make a tent setup outta my truck bed when I was a young man, inflatable mattress in the back of the pickup with a tarp over top. My truck is an extended cab so I could store the tent material in the back seat area and put it up when I get there...just a thought mind you, that way I could bring a small camp stove, bring a cooler full of stuff. Do they have ice machine available? LOL, should I just call them?

There is a creek, we park on one side of it and we ride our bikes across the bridge to the camp ground proper.   You would be all alone in the parking lot if you did that.

And you don't have to sleep by yourself in a parking lot -- a tent will be there for you to use, or you can crash on a cabin floor, or you can wait until "later" and sleep on a couch in the lounge area.

I take it you are hauling your bike in on a truck/trailer -- so are most of us.  Lots of parking for cars, trucks and trailers.  

You need to read up thread to where we posted links and videos of the camp grounds so you can get the layout of the place.

Well, so long as they have a ramp and I don't have to bring mine, I'll put the savage in the back of the truck. I do have a campstove or two for morning coffee, but sounds like they might sell it there. LOL, i've been known to survive on a gatorade and payday candy bar for two days.....don't ask...LOL. Shocked
So I guess i'll revert back to the cabin rental, should I ask to reserve one next to the other two?
Won't be doing this untill after the 6th tho...but I want to be ready as soon as possible.

Better hurry with making the reservations; cabins are booked up for Sat and Sun 15th & 16th already, but Wed-Fri there are still some open...as of a few minutes ago.  You guys are waiting waaaaay late to make res's.
This could end up being a tent camp meeting for most of you.

During the week cabins may still work out -- but you are right, the cabins are going fast for the weekends.

Hey guys.....just needed to pop in and let you know I'm back on the fence again due to illness in the family and a couple other problems Took dad to hospital Sunday morning,possibly another stroke but maybe something else,they are not sure yet. I don't want to commit to a rental with things so unsure around here so you guys go ahead and work things out as you need too and I'll play it by ear.

Old-rider, you and MM need to verify you really got a cabin, or else MM's tent will get some earlier usage.

Been trying to PM some folks but the messages are not showing in my out folder so I don't think they are going thru, keep getting some message about my clipboard when I hit the reply button, I accept, but nothing shows in my out folder so i'm taking it that nothing is going out.
My email is bill.mcgraw@yahoo.com   maybe that will help

OK, We got 5 people good for a Wednesday, June 12th afternoon arrival.  We got three coming "as they are able to come".   We have confirmed rental of two cabins.   We have a third cabin or tent in the works but the cabin is not actually reserved yet.

Heated Cabin #1       (Dave and I are staying in their cabin #4)
Dave                          staying Weds-Friday/Saturday block,  confirmed
Oldfeller                        staying Weds-Friday/Saturday block,  confirmed

Heated Cabin #2
old-rider                          staying Weds-Thurs in cabin, confirmed, switching to tent
old-rider's buddy               staying Weds-Thurs in cabin, confirmed, switching to tent

Cabin or Tent
MMRanch          (who doesn't check in often enough to keep up with the changes and who hasn't made any reservations yet either, so he is likely reverting to his tent)

2 man Tent
New River Junkie             possibly/mebbe staying Saturday night
Serenity                         staying one night, variable date
Zar                               staying ???


Well, we are getting closer to the one month out range.
