If I got a wild hair up my butt and rode there on a last minute decision how much do I have to pay?. I’d be tenting it. Whoops I just saw in the original post it would be $55. Hmmm. Decisions decisions!

Il be heading out for Iowa tomorrow with an errand stop at Arnold Air Force Base in Tennessee. Should arrive either Thursday night or Friday morning. Woo hoo hoping for safe travels!!

Worth the price for the rally. Nice area for pitching a tent with nice clean bathrooms. Loads of trees. :thumb: The price for camping any other time is $10 per tent. Looks like a stop on the way up for the WI rally. :boozing: :boozing: :boozing:
The St. Olaf tavern is still the beeeg pork tenderloin sandwich. https://stolaftavern.com/
As for the micro brew with 1lb beeeeg hamburger, don't know but would be fun to check out. https://www.facebook.com/GunderRoadhouse/reviews

Someone with a sidecar gets the privilege to be her escort leading the parade. I did one year, she was beautiful. We are camped in the park right now, there are about ten or more unoccupied long term RV campers in the lower section down from the wood pile so we didn't get our preferred spot. There's still plenty of spots
Its hot and humid but getting better. There is a big Beemer camped here in a tent. We brought our Stone and Spyder in a trailer with the 89 Chev camper. Have a good trip here !

Change number 56. I’m going to pull my small toy hauler camper with the guzzi inside and hope I can get a camping site for the camper. Here goes nothing. Lol.

Why would I get free camping if I’m in a camper and not tent camping? Oh well I already paid for my campsite (electric and water).

Got a rally report from IL Boyz, all soaked but safe, what a start.

Some of the heaviest rain I have ever ridden in. Complete failure of all rain gear. But rally was excellent, abbreviated parade was a let down, but everything else was delightful, including my new 25 V85TT!
