I have a buddy that grew up there. His Mother still lives there. It's dead as hell when the rally isn't there. I used to get some real nice left over t-shirts from his mother a few weeks after the rally for free. You should not have any problem at all finding a room as long as it's not during the rally.

I must be getting old!

I've been there on the week of a few times and had a great time.
I wouldn't change one thing!

As of late,I seem to have a better time riding without the congestion and HUGE crowds.

It's a great area to ride with many places to stop and explore.

I guess I've outgrown cruising with a couple hundred thousand others!

The bands and mingling are still a ton of fun and the reason that I will be back......the riding during the event.......not so much!

I enjoy riding in the laid back atmosphere much more with only me and a couple friends on the highway!
