Hungry Mother Ride - Aug. 15-17 -Marion, VA

Post by Biff's R »

June 15 BUMP

Hungry Mother State Park. Marion, Virginia. August 15-17, 2008 http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state_parks/hun.shtml

I have reserved 9 of the 11 Campsites in Loop C for Friday, and Saturday Night. The other 2 sites will be ours, but the Park saves them for walk ins.

9 of us have paid $54 to reserve the sites. Newcomers, late arrivals, etc. will need to pay a share to the current site "owner".

There are some tremendous roads in the area, and it is close to both I-81, and I-77. If you don't want to camp, there are several hotels nearby. http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safa ... sults&cd=1

We will not eat at the Italian place, or the Lodge.

Count me in also. This is a regular event for me and I will not miss it, even if no-one else shows up.

I will get with you guys about $ stuff in a few days. But as usual it is a pretty reasonable place to stay.

For those of you who have not been before here is a link. http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state_parks/hun.shtml

Here is the road in front. http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safa ... a=N&tab=wl

I'm in. I missed it last year, and can use it this year. Now that the date is set, I can write it in the calendar. Image

I'm in as well and very much looking forward to it. I am also very certain you can include my friend Paul Radike whom you guys haven't met yet, but you will at the Bash.

Let me know how and when to pay.

As of right now there are 7 people who have thrown their hat in. The sites are $20/night, and it looks like they are holding 2 for walk ins. So we have a couple of options.

I can reserve 7 sites ($40 per person)

I can get 5 sites for 2 nights, and then we get the 2 walk ins. If we can't get the walk in sites then we can double up on tents on a platform. ($40 per person)

Or we can get all 9 sites that are available, and split the cost. ($52 per person) Then if anyone else decides to come, they pay the original group.

Let's take the whole place like before. I can possibly get someone to come with me from GA. But I'm willing to soak up my share of the difference to have it to ourselves.

Jeff, In that paypal email. Is that jtevans put in there twice or is that a typo? If so I sent the money to the wrong address. I'll go see if I can cancel it.

Okay, I got the first one cancelled. I'll send the correct way this afternoon. I think I may have a R1150R GA. riding buddy to come up with me in August. I won't know for sure until about june though. He cam up from Macon Saturday and rode with us to a campsite over in Alabama. I sent him to the site and encouraged him to ride up to HM with me in Aug.
We had 2 RRs, 2 GSs and LT and an RT on the ride Sat and Yesterday. I bottomed out that front Rockster shock several times, so I'm not sure its as new as they said it was.

Jeff--

I've never used paypal I don't think. I have typically used a credit card when making online purchases. Can I mail you a personal check?

You can email me if you like. wbowyer at comcast dot net
