Not that complaining will do any good but....
I have the same complaints as some of the other posters concerning the shi**ers and the traffic flow but afyet riding across the country, I arrived the day before the rally opened, only to find that two local clubs had cordoned off the only shaded/level camping space and were saving all of it for their fellow club members!
OTOH, they did offer to sell me a membership for $40 cash that would allow me to camp with them but it was an offer that was easy to decline.
The clubs involved was the Blackhawk Region Christian Riders Assc. I will admit that some of the members were nice guys once I got to know them but after riding 3000+ moles to attend the event, having to deal with these guys cordoning off 30 tent spaces for themselves felt pretty shitty and unchristian to me!
All-in-all, the RA rally was a much better, friendlier, more cohesive and better planned event.
Sorry BMWMOA.... It's the truth!
Not at this rally but at Gillette, I was starting to set up my tent near the Airheads HQ, when a middle aged woman told me that various "spaces" near her tent were "reserved" Well I don't go where I'm not wanted so I had her tell me where she thought it would be OK for me to camp. I selected a spot far away enough to satisfy her and set up my tent. I figured that I didn't know how tightly wrapped she was & took the coward's way out. Since she seemed to be living at a juvenile elementary school mentality I thought this best. She never did have anyone show up to claim the spots in question. And there was little shortage of places to camp.
I wonder that in a tighter camp area it might be good to have some marked off lanes so those that come later don't tent lock others machines
