{moving separate post here} It's next week already. The bike is ready to go (except for replacing the throttle side handgrip), I have a very nice bottle of bourbon ready to pack (couldn't find any Grappa). Tomorrow going out to the storage room to dig out camping gear. I am really looking forward to this, I *need* it. It will be great to see everyone. If anyone is riding up from/through Sioux Falls let me know, perhaps we can form a gaggle.

Bring your warm sleeping bag or you might be "extra cool"!

Yes, the weather in June is very unpredictable up here, so be prepared for just about anything!

My pre-registration has been sent in. I'm looking forward to being in Grand Marais again. Yes, it's going to be cool. Yes, it's probably going to rain. But, the rally is a really nice event and the fresh fish eating is great.

What? Is no one else excited about this rally?

ChuckH · « **Reply #8 on:** June 11, 2016, 01:31:33 PM »

Just checked the long range weather forecast. Looking very good for that weekend, temps in the 50's to mid-70's and not too much chance for rain. We're having 94 today in mid-IN. Looking forward to a nice cool time up north.
Leaving here Monday and taking the slow route through the UP to the rally. Probably arrive on Thursday after a stop at Aerostitch to see what they have that I can't do without.

What plans to you Thursday arivee's have? Will it be possible to camp in the rally camping area a day early? should I call or reserve something with someone?

Upper Superior Brewing still there?

guzzidoo · « **Reply #11 on:** June 11, 2016, 08:44:23 PM »

If there are more than seven tents, group camping rate of $7 applies Thursday night in the group camping area. I will be one! No need to call or reserve.

There is a new brew pub just down the road, Voyaguer. Also have two kegs of Lienies for the campground....

Mary and I are packing the bikes. We're going up to Ely for Thursday night in the wild, and looking forward to a leisurely ride through the woods to the Rally Fri sometime. Looking forward to the ride and rally, see you all there.

I'll be there Friday - late morning or around lunch time (weather permitting).

GuzziDoo - save me a good spot with your tarp. The Crown Royal is already packed for JU.

Weather permitting???? Are you pedaling your bicycle up? Friday they are saying full sun 70 degrees in Grand Marais... (No pirate gear will get wet)

The north house folk school wooden boat show is also happening rally weekend for any nautically inclined folks. It's right next to the campground and next to the dockside fish market.

3 days of 70 degree sunshine is predicted!

Most likely a bit cooler by the lake, but still looking good! Getting the rain over with today.

A how I hate the night before a trip. I know just what will happen. I will get home, get all packed, then go to bed and stare at the ceiling until it is time to go, thinking of things I didn't pack and occasionally getting up to add a little something until my baggage weighs more than the bike.
Then I'll get up at the appointed time, ride until I get sleepy and stop at a rest stop for a nap.
I would probably be ahead of the game just to leave as soon as I am done packing and stop somewhere for a good sleep.

Pseudo spam -- I ended up with an extra tent. I am planning on returning one to Amazon. If someone were desperate for a tent (with a garage) at the rally I could possibly figure out how to tie it on and bring it with me, but only if you promise I wouldn't have to bring it back. $140.
