Motel/hotel all the way. These old bones don't like sleeping on the ground no more. Hot showers, a/c, no setup and tear down is the way to go for me now but when I was a youngster, well that was different - camping was an adventure.

Staying in motels, no treat to me.I'm in them all the time due to work related trips.Just ordered a new tent for this summer's excurisions.57 here but still enjoy sleeping on the ground although I've got to have an air mattress.Tentative plans are 6-18 thru 7-4 out to the BRP,Florida then cross country to the Oregon coast by July 1st,then Seattle by way of Glacier Park the 1st week of Aug.Probably need a Chiropractor by then.

I'm going to try the camping thing this year at Sturgis and on the way out. Should be fun, I am looking forward to it.

Damn, that's slick. I gotta get one of those. I use the Thermarest self inflating air mattress and this look a hell of a lot more comfortable. Thanks for the link.

Camping days are over for me.......hotel / motel all the way. Its hard to
beat air conditioning, hot showers, and walking distance to a pub / tavern
after a long day in the saddle.

Tent camping with air mattress.
I try to use KOA Kamping Kabins if weather looks bad.
Motels are great if a long travel day was too hot.
I try to never set up a tent in the rain!
Looking forward to Sturgis and tent camping again.
