Jeanne and I have decided to bring our RV. Can't leave our pup at home by herself, we took her to Sturgis last year and she did fine. Anyone know of a close by RV park?

[rcmatt007]

There is a koa at fancy gap

[Sagebrush]

There is a very nice campground, not crowded mostly pull through sites located just south of Galax. Here's the website. You don't have to prepay for a reservation. It's a quiet place, not crowded, well maintained with laundry and bath facilities.

Thanks for the campsite recommendations, will look into them.

Made reservation at the coolbreeze campground, about a third less cost of KOA. See everyone in September!

Okay, I am booked! Arriving on the 12th. Will leave on the 14th to Robbinsville NC for another ride.

[BlueThunder]

Been quite awhile since anyone posted about this... any updates??

[rcmatt007]

I will get up a list of ride possibilites as well as a schedule.

Well, it looks like I'm officially out for this years run. Been waiting for results from our follow up visit this morning and I will have to take daily care of stuff here for a while longer. Wife is healing from her last bout but it is going slower than expected. We don't even have another follow up for a couple of weeks. I'll miss seeing the group and set my sights on next year.

[Whiskerfish]

You will be missed! Working on a ladies house this morning and had to pull up my appointment book so I did not schedule her in conflict with any of my Dr's appointments! Getting old sucks!

[Fred Camper]

Oh my Al, but thank you for putting family first. Praying for your wife and all caregivers.

[Halfnaked]

We'll be thinking of you Al. Will miss seeing you at Hillsville.
Take care of your wife and yourself. Family first.
God bless you, Bob F.

so here is the schedule:

Tuesday: afternoon lunch (smoked ribs and fixin's) at our house and back roads back to the motel 6.

Wednesday: For the adventurous iron butt crowd, ride to the back of the dragon, Tazwell VA (so you can buy the shirt) and eventually back to the motel 6.
For the "want to relax and still do some twisties crowd, up VA100 over Draper mountain and lunch in Pulaski, down across the new river and back up to the Motel 6.

Thursday: relaxing ride to Floyd (aka the peoples republic of Floyd). Head south on VA 8 to a covered bridge, back up and lunch at Maybry Mill and south on the parkway to the Blue ridge music center on the parkway

I might add, we have one extra bed if someone needs a place before or after, and plenty of room to park a trailer. We are about 1 hour from the motel 6
