icebrrg3rd Posted June 28, 2012 #26 Posted June 28, 2012 Oh, I forgot to ask, is it like Don's with BYOTP? (Bring your own TP?) On a serious note, for those of us camping what kind of facilities are available? Just want to plan in advance, that's all. See you in a day! -Andrew
Flyinfool Posted June 28, 2012 #27 Posted June 28, 2012 It don't matter if I am going to stay at a 5 star hotel, I always have TP packed. Never know when you may quickly need it on the side of the road while in route after a bad burger. 8 more minutes till I'm outa here.
OrlinEngh Posted June 29, 2012 Author #28 Posted June 29, 2012 There are clean porti poties with plenty of paper. No worries there. And yes you can take a dip in the creek it will cool you off in a hurry. Getting worried about having a bonfire its really dry and I see that the DNR put burn bans on the countys next to us here. We may just be able to go with a good campfire. We will see if we get a good dew to move in to the valley. Orlin
Flyinfool Posted June 29, 2012 #29 Posted June 29, 2012 They are already canceling fireworks on the 4th around here due to the dry. But since I am going to be on a bike trip there is rain in the horrorcast every day.....
Flyinfool Posted June 29, 2012 #30 Posted June 29, 2012 All packed except for the cooler. I'll pack that in the mornin. Still trying to figure out what I forgot to pack, The whole trunk on the bike is empty. Got all of my "baking" done.

icebrrg3rd Posted June 29, 2012 #34 Posted June 29, 2012 Since this will be my first MD, what should I bring along? I know some have specific tools (carbtune, etc) that they're bringing, I'm bringing along my traveling tools, is there anything else I should have? And Orlin, should I bring along some food or a dish to pass? I don't want to be a mooch. Just let me know. -Andrew
OrlinEngh Posted June 29, 2012 Author #35 Posted June 29, 2012 You can bring a dish to pass if you would like and what you like to drink if you have a certain brand there will be some pop,beer and water. Other than that just have a safe ride here. Orlin
Rick Haywood Posted June 29, 2012 #36 Posted June 29, 2012 Well, loaded up and going to meet Mike and Di at the gas station then pick up Shirley at the office and we are off to Orlin's 1st annual MD and meet and eat. Gonna be a warm ride but got plenty of water. See everyone in the morning. Ride Safe Rick and Shirley
icebrrg3rd Posted June 29, 2012 #37 Posted June 29, 2012 Got a few more hours at work, ride home, load up, then hit the road by 6. Woo hoo! -Andrew
irbk Posted June 29, 2012 #38 Posted June 29, 2012 Bummed I can't come out and meet you folks. Got a previous family engagement that I can't blow off.
Flyinfool Posted July 1, 2012 #39 Posted July 1, 2012 Made it home had a graet time, I think everyone did. Thanks again to Orlin and his whole family for putting up with all of us. Even the river monsters seemed to tolerate us ok. And there was no journalist there to document it.......
icebrrg3rd Posted July 2, 2012 #40 Posted July 2, 2012 Yup, got home about 1pm, gave everyone hugs and kisses, took a shower, and climbed into bed since my wife was taking a nap while Tiva was napping too. Woke up at 7:30 for supper. She is soooo nice to me. -Andrew
