This is a laid back Guzzi affair for those who like to camp out for a night or two, have good safe fun and enjoy life. Located along the eastern bank of Old Man River, home to presidents, Lincoln, Grant, Reagan and Obama! Camping is primitive on lovely soft sandy ground under IL stately swaying pines. Electricity, water, are available and accessible. It's bring your own everything so pack as needed. Grocery store and bars are just a few short miles away. Camping is less than $10 a night, and free to those 62 and over, at least that was the case last year. You don't have to ride a Guzzi, inferior brands will be welcome too.

I had almost lost the faith and given up all hope prior to this beacon of light! I might have to make an appearance.

Way to go Chad, at least someone in IL is doing something. With a little support from the WI crew, it stays going on.

Like a freight train, it won’t be stopped. No Keithsburg FD pancake breakfast to be had, they are doing it a weekend to late. But don’t let that stop you, a good breakfast is a lovely short refreshing ride into town, or just make friends in camp.

Thinking about it.

Hate to miss such an amazing event as this, and haven't in years. BUT! I'll be too busy being the Yankee tourist in Ireland/UK/Wales/Scotland..
Hoisting one in your general direction right now!

Looking forward to some good riding weather and my first camp out of the year. Nice gathering of Guzzi riders. Just like it was in the modest Beginnings.
