Chris, that's why you are THE MAN!Statdawg said:I am camping because I can survive in the woods if I breakdown on the way.
I'm liking the sound of this already....chasman said:Based on previous surveys, typically 60-65% of attendees camp while the other 30-35% will lodge off-site. We'll be posting Kbasa's room number and location on line as soon as it's available. Anyone wishing to stop by for a cool beverage will then know the parteee room!

I have enough points from travelling for work that I don't pay for hotel. Last couple of years I did both camp and hotel, it is fun to hang with people this year I will probably do the same. I am with Poobah on this one, at the end of the say I need my time....

Great stuff. This is the kind of info I was hoping folks would provide. Thanks, Stat.Statdawg said:Cons : Remember West Virginia ? Rain , damp ground, and high wind destroyed some tents. Remember Lima ? High wind, and heavy rain on day one. Both rallys one had to deal with warm nights that may disrupt a sleep pattern. Depending on were you set up you will hear others snore, talk, or walk to public service's. Some people just like sitting around into the wee hours of the morning visiting. Kind alike sleeping as a child when the adults were still up. Since it is NOT your regular bed you might not sleep well. If you arrive late you may spend sometime looking for a space. In Lima I ended up on Main Street next to a port-a-john and 25 yards from the shower. That was great because I could see the lines. There was a Sheep Barn for emergency shelter. I used a bivy sack lodging the night before I left. The bike was packed except the bivy and me. The Lodge,B&B, and motel you would'nt deal with the aforementioned.
Pro: The adventure, raw life firsthand, self reliance which will stimulate ones ID or Ego, satisfaction that you can do this. For those that are on a budjet one can spend more on things you don't need at the Rally. Everything is right there. If you had too much beer tent you can make it to your spot and not worry about a DUI. Be careful some of the tent ropes can trip you. You meet interesting people pitched next to you. I had a couple from Ontario, two from Kentucky, and someone from Tenn. differant roads in life but one common thread, camping, and Beemer's. Please try camping, if you can't sleep you can always go home and do it or take a power nap prior to an event.

Don't want to miss a minute of the fun!
And the weather should be grand for sleeping.

cjack said:Hmmm. Last time I went to a National Rally in VT, the temp and the humidity were each 95. I quickly found a room across from the fairgrounds and a friend said I had the air turned up so far that you could hang meat in the room. The Green Mountains were obsecured by a heavy haze. Never saw them. Some friends found a road thru the country which crossed a creek and they went swimming. That same creek runs through Hurricane Mills, TN by the way.
But, this time will be different...
tessler said:But I'm still up in the air. Remember, I'm new to riding; as a newbie, I have no experience with MC Camping; barely with packing and riding with personal effects and luggage. But I'm working on it. I bought the book "MC Camping Made Easy" am studying it intently and do intend to try it (but most probably in a smaller venue as opposed to a large national rally).
