XS East 14

[GLoweVA]

360 miles. Should be a walk in the park for me to ride there.
Kinda steep for the room, but I think I can convince one of my local XSives to come with me and split the cost of a room.

600 miles....Still a walk in the park.... of course that's almost all interstate. Might make it two days down.... maybe even two days back.

Forgot to mention, if you are looking at an old map, the Baymont used to be the Comfort Inn, just off Rt 19

nice looking place...a bit pricey without a roomie...

You guys are tight! I know a place nearby, where you can pitch a tent and there's a decent bath house to go with it. It's been a few years, but I'm sure it's cheaper than a room and only 5 miles away.

just a shade over 300 miles one way...not a long distance award but thats just fine with me...and all backroads...no hwys or toll roads...

ok I maybe cheap in many ways but a roof over my head is still preferred to sleeping on the ground in the springtime in WVA...

Where is it Marty?

Mountain Lake Campground & Cabins

It's five miles away. I have pitched my tent here on three occasions (with motorcycle), but the last time was several years ago.

[madmax-im]

Anybody want to rough it?

Mountain Lake Campground

Short drive for me; maybe five miles and, to beat all, MartyA has smoking rooms available for a change! 'Just my luck lol!
Mtn. Lake Campground used to have furnished campers for rent too. They are currently closed for the season; don't know if one would get an answer, but their number is 304-872-6222.
If I can be of any help, shoot me a PM!

Greg, may we just camp at your house? I think there's plenty of room.

[trbig]

Not to throw a kink in things, but just looked on Priceline, and for the same room at the same place for the same dates is $220.86 inc taxes, and it's cancellable up to the 23rd.

Might talk to that sweet lady on the phone and see if she'll match that? $32 is $32.
