Hi everyone,
Having retired last year and wanting to participate in some STO events, I've scanned the list of planned events with pencil in hand.
What I've noticed from the many events that I was thinking of possibly attending is that they are mostly all listed as taking place at a campground.
I tried camping on a trip back in the 80's and it didn't work out so well. I swore it would never happen again on another of my trips, and it hasn't.
Granted, equipment has certainly changed and improved since that time, but I'm still not interested in that type of accommodations after riding all day.
I was wondering if the events have any other accommodations available nearby that other ST riders like me might be using. I haven't seen any comments about that from what I've read.
If there are hotels/motels/B&Bs nearby, are they close enough to allow me to still feel like part of the event? Am I the only STO member that doesn't camp??
Yeah, you can say I'm spoiled. Oh well, I can take that. But I REALLY love my ST and I think it has spoiled me from getting any other bike!
Appreciate any info you can throw my way.
Thanks and hope to see some of you on the road this year!
