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...

There are some that like camping some that don't. I am of the ilk of I like camping for a couple of days but I am going to be there a week... so I decided a hotel was for me.

To me the spirit of rallying is to hang out and meet new friends and talk motorcycles. I do agree that camping does help with that, but the true fun doesn't happen when I am sleeping....
 
Camping Vs Hotel

I thought about hotel-ing, but didnt want to "beer hall" then ride to the hotel- I dont drink and ride. DP
 
I told my wife how potentially dirty she could get.. She won't be coming.. I'll be camping.
 
I camp at most rallies but I also experienced the intense weather at both W. VA and Lima. Add to that, the heat in Lima and I decided that a hotel is the way to go. I am staying at the Hampton (~4 mi away) and expect that I can get cab service if the beer garden beckons...

We have often called cabs when camping or in motels to go eat or get back and forth. It is much more convenient when with even a small group than having a swarm of motorcycles.
 
There are 8 taxi cab companies listed for Burlington and 2 for Essex Junction.
 
The area is also served by public bus transportation--$1.25 one way.
No late night service.
