Willville Motorcycle Campground (7/15-17/2005)
Posted: Sun Jul 17, 2005 4:55 pm
Six of us converged in Meadows of Dan, Virginia at the Willville Motorcycle Campground this weekend. After working part of the day Friday and trying to wait out the rain I left Bluefield about 3pm. By the time I got to Wytheville I had to get off the Interstate because I was tired of the rain. So, I took 52 South to Hillsville then 58 to Willville. Is that too many ville's?
I was last to arrive and set up camp near the others. Slowly the group formed and we were greeting each other, smiling, and shaking hands. The Hobbits have to eat so we headed to Tuggles Gap for dinner and lies.
Saturday saw an early start and great roads, many of which I'd never been on despite the fact they're in my backyard. We hit rain a couple of times but only briefly. The day was damp with sprinkles but we also had sun. It certainly could have been worse weatherwise. We actually had lunch at an Italian place that listed "Sloppy Cucci" on the menu. No takers there, but a couple of us did try the "Turnover". It's called a turnover because that's what your stomach does about two hours after you eat it.
Mike, Michael, Vann, and I ended up at Tuggles Gap again for dinner and Rocky Knob (Blueberry) pie. It turned out we were just in time for an evening Ranger program at Rocky Knob Campground. Back to Willville for cold beer, a campfire, and conversation. A great wind down to a great weekend.
Sunday morning all were up early packing and getting ready to leave. I think everyone except me was gone by 8 am. I slowly packed up (still perfecting my system) and zipped home on 52 North instead of I77 arriving there about 10:15am to my wife's surprise.
I sincerely enjoyed this meet and am looking forward to the next one. Wherever you are, if you haven't yet and you get the chance, go meet up with some fellow board members. You will not regret it!!

I'll be back on it first thing tomorrow morning and I can't wait. It's good to see Mike hasn't traded the R in on the K1200R yet!
