B K  Keep me informed.  I am thinking about going back to the Natchez Trace again this fall.

I will give Ken a call also  He might have a bike or two also.

Do you think they will let a Honda Or BSA in.  looks like a bunch of Harley's to me

Ned it's a GO Jim has already registered & reserved site # 45!
I'm going to go! If you, Scott & Ken can make it we can get a couple more spots close to that an make it a mini-bus-bike rally!
I'm taking my Honda so bring whichever you desire!
;D  BK  ;D
OH yeah Ned just remind Ken it's not far from Parsons maybe that will encourage him to come!

Scott come on down! Ned an Jim have GM's and even though Ken has a Prevost he still associates with us "SOB"s (some other brand!)

Shoot anybody else interested come on down! We'll have our own little rally in the valley!
;D  BK  ;D

Shoot maybe Gary or Don or who knows who might show up!  ;)

Jim is going to be in site # 45. Sites 36, 37 & 46 all connect with his site and at this time are still open!

Shoot if we got enough of us there we could take up the rest of the block!
Be just a short hop for Jim Simson too!

BK,

Here I am sitting typing in my office tent, living in a 19x7 container, walking to the "cadillacs" to "go" and shower ----which is kind of like camping ---And I have free fireworks a couple of times a week!  ;D

I do have a severe case of PTBWS though and you guys are making me jealous! ;)

I am missing all the fun ;)

Well let me know, guess I'll have to park the bus on the right side (across the road from you)   ;D

 What kind of hook ups does the camp ground have? The reason I'm asking is I don't have a poop or grey tank, and I don't think my body can hold it for more than a day ;D
Title: Re: Uncle Ned--Are you out there?
Post by: B_K on August 13, 2014, 06:56:40 PM
Scott here is a link about the camp grounds! http://www.westtnvalleyrally.com/background.html (http://www.westtnvalleyrally.com/background.html)

I believe it's more or less "dry camping" or boondocking.
But it says they have clean restrooms and showers!
I'm going to take a tent if I can rig up a way to run my cpap machine (I have an idea of a way to do it, just haven't tried it yet!) But I've also been offered a couch if I need it!

Y'all give me a call an let me know how many spaces to reserve! I'm gonna take a ride down there tomorrow and pay my fees and reseve spots for y'all!

Can't beat the price 4 days for $25 per person and no camping fees! ;)

Let's Gary, Ned, Scott, an me that's 4 spots how many more guys? call or text me @ two 7 zero - 7 zero 5 - eleven 3 nine!
;D  BK  ;D

     OK, folks, you've organized a rally but you haven't answered the original question "Uncle Ned--Are you out there?"  I think that the only valid answer to that one is "yes, very much so ... very far out there"!  (As much as we love him ...)

 Im not sure if I will be able to make it or not? I would love to finally meet you guys but I still need to get my poop tank in  ::)  and it all depends if I can find some cheap used tanks that I can make work at the salvage yards tomorrow? If not my fuel money will be going to new tanks. Go ahead and get me a spot and if I can't make it I will send you the 25 in the mail.

Bob Glines in Evansville not too far from ya, has a connection for some cheap NEW tanks somewhere near y'all!

 Yes I talked with the place and they have 2 60 gallon tanks for 200 + 150 shipping. I will need about 400 worth of fuel to get there and back (the rally), so about 900 or a 1000 total for both. I am also heading to Texas the first of October for my girlfriends daughters wedding, and then on to spend the winter on the beach living in the bus (her first bus experience). Buuuuuttttttt I'm hoping to do both, even if I have to bring the tanks with me and install them on the side of the road.   ;D
