It's a great time! Maybe a little more laid back, but I'm close enough as well to day trip it, but we will probably overnight it.

Smaller version of Bike Week, but you would probably never know it. Hotels/camprgrounds may be a little easier to get but not much. Campgrounds get full qwik, there is only so much dirt you know !!

YEP.. What he said.. Except we are over here on the SW. coast. Four of us generally go over on a Thursday, and come back Sunday, or Monday.. Same stuff and fun etc. Just less crowded. (Still a ton of people)

Then onto the Peterson run..!!!
