That is what is in the newsletter. I assume they mean 3, 4, 5.

Booked a cabin back in March, as usual, as we were unsure what the rally situation might be this year.
Ride safe, and see y'all weekend after next.  :thumb:

Double check with Phil or his son at the campground, they'll often have a cancellation close to rally time.
And I'm hoping for the best, but the weather forecast doesn't look so great, at this point anyway...

Yep weather is going to be my decision point.  If it's as wet this weekend as it's been this week a bed sounds better than a bag.

I will be in Western NC this weekend.  Heading down tomorrow and staying in Waynesville until Monday.  Didn't know about this one!  I will be bombing around on my Triumph Thunderbird Sport and often make my way down to Brevard on 276.  My CalStone has a very minor but significant issue right now, so it has to stay home.  That sounds lame, doesn't it?  I would love to stop by!

Brother Jim, if you head down 276 from Waynesville to Brevard, you'll ride right past the camp, on your left. Look for the sign at the road, although it can be a little easy to overshoot the first time going there. If so, turn around.  :thumb:

There looks to be a chance of humidity.  :boozing:

I remember one year there was some pretty heavy "humidity" there.  :boozing: :boozing:

If anyone's still interested, I just cancelled my reservation for a cabin at Blue Ridge MC Camp for tonight. Cabin 12, with two twin beds. If you call down and it isn't showing yet, tell Phil or son to check their email, as they require cancellation requests be made via that procedure.

I hope y'all have better weather for the rally than we're getting so far, and that everyone has a great time.
Ride safe, it's very wet out there!

Sorry I missed you guys.  One of my riding buddies wrecked his XS650 on the BRP on Saturday, so I ended up having some work to do.
