I will be hauling the bike down in my little enclosed trailer again, and sleeping in it when the bike is outside. It probably is a good idea to sleep in our own space for right now.

Since I will be with the car/trailer - I need to camp out in the parking lot area. I kinda' like it out there as it is quiet, and away from a lot of the bikes coming in/out......but you are not allowed campfires out there. The trailer or tent site is $15 for the first person, $7 each for additional people in the trailer/tent.

Breakfast will be available Sat/Sun morning.....dinner likely on Friday and Saturday night. I would guess that MM and I will be eating lunch on the way in on Friday......we might be at Suches in time for the evening meal.

Stew: Any chance you can get away a bit early on Friday - or is work as busy as always?

I could probably swing leaving work around noon or so. Is the intent to get there in time for dinner?

Work isn't so busy since I can't travel righ tnow, I am just being considerate since I have had time off lately and I will have a couple of more days off later in the month for family vacation. They are pretty cool here, I just try to be nice and not abuse it because we have a lot of freedom.

Also it would be nice if you could avoid Friday rush hour traffic (that may not exist right now). We will see you when you arrive - whatever time that is!

maybe not the best tent but it works !

I looked at those round loop tents but they are 38 inch when closed and I don't know how to tie it to the bike , without looking like a viking sail boat ? Embarrassed

The first one is the "model" tent......all crisp and taught and ironed and photo shopped and pristeen - while the second photo is what it actually looks like.

..............................................................

Huh

So , ??? would a 6 legged woman need Three Men ? Some day I hope you (Stew) and Dave get to go visit the Three Twisted Sisters in Texas with me , Springman and the guys ! Wink

Thinking of 6 female leggs and all !
..............................................................

Yea Stew , once ya get that 6 legged version out in the open then its like paying the devil himself to get it back in the bag ! Grin

..............................................................

During the April Suches trip I noticed my old 6 legged version has a few little pin holes in it. So , I wasn't shy about getting the up-dated version. I have several extra tents , I could bring you one of them Stew ? I might even set it up for ya if you promise to carry it home with ya Sunday ?? ((Standard nice tent) the old 4 main bent/spring pole kind , used only twice but put-up dry and still nice )

If camping fees are $15.oo/tent for one and $7.oo/person extra then collectively we are spiting $37.oo/night ? Thinking of tents and such ! Roll Eyes

Don't bring anything for me. Too much trouble on a bike for sure.

I have looked at a few tent options but not sure I see anything I really like that reviews don't say either the zippers break or it leaks. I may bring my pop-up canopy so we can just hang out under that if needed and have a fire by your tent (not in the parking lot), but just crash in the truck when it comes sleepy time.

Stew , I'm not sure you realize how small these tents pack-up ... its really no trouble to bring an extra one ... especially when my attic storage is so full ! Grin

Its either give one away at a time thats good or put it in a yard sale latter ?

I used to sleep in my truck when getting off work at 3 am and picking up my daughter from her mom's house at 8 am . Yea its good for a nap , but ... Sad

... for more than an hour or two.
...................................................................

I was planning to camp in the parking lot so I can keep Dave awake at night snoring next to his camper ? Huh

A fire might be OK

but

I'll bring an extra tent (easy) but I draw the line at bringing fire wood ! Roll Eyes

As usual - I have been weather watching for the upcoming weekend.

The forecast that was great a few days ago is starting to look gloomy. My Iphone weather forecast shows rain Thursday through Sunday. Accuweather is a bit more positive and shows a chance of thunderstorms on Saturday and a 25-30% chance of rain the other days. The Weather Channel shows up to a 50% chance of rain each day.

Since there are no reservations required - we can just watch the weather and make a decision on going or postponing later in the week. Maybe we can go to Robbinsville or Waynesville if the weather their is better......or maybe somewhere else?

MM: How is the hay making going?

Well , I've got the hay all cut ... 6 hours of cutting Saturday and another 4 hours after church today . Monday I'll get the baler on the big tractor and the rake on the little tractor. Tuesday afternoon I should be picking some of it up and then finish it Wednesday --- weather permitting that is ! Wink

Cutting is half the job !
...............................................

If the weather forecast is good Thursday night I'll plan on leaving Friday morning . I could bring the truck w/bike but that ain't as much fun ! Grin
