That's campfire weather!

Is there water available on site or should I be traveling with a full powerwasher barrel? Is there a locked gate so I need to time my arrival or just show up whenever? As it stands now Jer is going to do our suspension on Wednesday so I would likely pull in sometime Wednesday evening. Jer mentioned he is hoping to get out to the ride, maybe he'll bring the MX-Tech 09 CRF :)

Would it be sacrilegious if I were to show up without a bike to ride? I might be in the area, but not able to transport a bike. :( (I am working on borrowing a stock KDX200.)

STOP TORTURING ME DOUGLASs!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and the gate will "look locked" but actually not be. (if Ger remembers to unlock it, lol!)

I can't remember the water situation. I don't think there is running water there, but don't remember for sure.

Ken-Just show up, it's all good. There will be plenty of bikes to ride.

We'll probably get there late Wednesday or very early Thursday (between midnight and 2) so please dont lock the gate after you're in.

Hey Chopper Dave, where are you? Haven't seen anything from you lately.

I'm wondering what fuel supplies (& prices) are like up your way. I've heard that Nashville is as bad as Atlanta in respect to low gas supplies / empty stations / long lines / high prices, etc.

Assuming I can get fuel here to get out of town, I usually fuel up on I-24 near your place, or in KY.

Don't make me have to call you!

I'll be driving up Wed. Still undecided whether to go to Iowa first, (to borrow the KDX,) or come straight to FVOR with only a z50 in the trunk of the Accord.

BTW, how far is the track from a hotel?

Thanks! Ken W.

Thanks Nikki.

Still debating if I'm going to haul camping gear, or not.

LOL! Thanks for reminding me Sparky! Yes, the colors of our bikes, and much of my hair, has changed, but we're still just a couple of mediocre assclowns! :)

Luckily I have a 1-1/2 day bidness trip starting at noon today to make the first half of this week go by quicker!

It'll be Wednesday in a few hours! I'm sitting in the driveway at MX-Tech camping for the night, mooching power from Jer and now poaching his wireless signal! Two sets of suspension done tomorrow and I'm on my way to FVOR! See every one late tomorrow or Thursday AM.

I just got back from my bidness trip. one day of work, then i'm home to pack, maybe sleep (doubtful) then head out. I'll most likely be there sometime before dawn on thursday. after that, it's on!

Doug-I'm bringing my camera and the big sig lens just to fool around with. hopefully we can have the weekend well documented!
