Looks like a great setup Murph.

 

I just realized you stated "weeks" ...as in plural...how many weeks do you usually take to do a trip like this; and do you plan to go anywhere else?

 

I know what you mean. I'm a single dad and have two kids. It's rough for me to get away. I try to do these trips if they are taken care of... But they are 18 and 16...lol

Thanks crump. A work in progress. Working on some short portable tarp poles..lol

Yes. Two weeks planned. I usually end up coming home a few days sooner. i just like to have enough time so i don't have to rush.

 

The poles would help a lot so you don't have to find trees or something else to tie to. I like that idea of the over head tarp. I have a tarp for the ground but will get a tarp to tie over head as well.

I am going to follow this thread and if I can break away when y'all take this trip I will join in. I love this type of camping and traveling via the motorcycle. It's a true adventure.

 

I know what you mean. Take a look at the Kelty Noah tarp or Chinook. I have the 9x12 Chinook. Thinking about getting the Chinook 12x14 or the Kelty 16 x 16.

I love camping at MC campgrounds. you meet some great people. The locals know the best roads.

 

Looking at the pictures from last year's trip just makes me want to hit the road. Can't wait until I can put Florida in my rear view for awhile...lol

 

I know what you mean...I am ready for a motorcycle trip!! But then again, when am I not??

 

I have owned 2 Kermit chairs. The first one was handmade by the original owners. About 15 years ago it was snatched at a campground. My second was made by the new company who is still making a great chair here in the U.S.A.

 

I love my Kermit chair. I got the larger version...lol. I like how you can fold the chair and carry it around and still have your drink in the holder...

 

I use an overhead tarp to keep the dew off everything, and I can just ride away while other people are drying there/their/they're bikes off. I'm gonna check on this kermit chair.....it sounds interesting.
