Yea I think we have a winner here as well and Thanks Tasr for the input too. I almost made the village of Hell one of my stops last year but didn't. Was thinking of using it this year. :wink: :lol:
I don't think we'll have to worry none about noise here either. :wink:
For the folks coming from the southern boarder it's about another 40 miles due north.
And there is some great roads in this area as well.
Tasr and I and maybe a couple others will be doing a meet and tour of the place once winters grip lets go of us.

We may have to put a deposit. Will know more next week.

Hi Tasr,
I guess I missed something what is the date for the fun in HELL? I'm glad that you sent me the email about looking for this I'm ready as soon as it warms up a little bit more. I can't wait to get the bike out and ride.

Glad you found it Jackie, You could hook up with a few of the others from down south, Shooterrex, sledhead and ummm ahhhh sorry guys my brain isn't working, Donk, ummm Spartan, sorry if I'm missing anyone. It's a good time and Carbon puts in a lot of work!
Is you ride bell still alive???
 
#37 ·
Yeah the bell is hanging on the bag on the back. :wink: I hide the bell whenever I'm off the bike. I had one bell stolen already and I don't want anything to happen to this one. :cry: I even saved the letter you wrote and whenever anyone asks about the bell I show them the letter. They are impressed!! :D
I still need to know the dates so I can plan my vacation!!!!

I'll post up a date for this as soon as I can. I want to confirm a campground first and then pick a date that's open. I'm hoping we can move the date up to like the 3rd weekend of August instead of 3rd weekend of September like we've had the last 2 years. We'll know before too much longer.

Yeah guys, it is almost in my backyard. I bet if i put the right elevation on my Bushy I could drop a .223 round right in the middle of it. I'm looking forward to our first ride this spring to check it out. For some reason I'm really looking to riding this summer. I think now that I have a whole season under my belt, my confidence level is right where I want it...not overly confident but enough I really feel comfortable riding.
 
#41 ·
Mark glad to hear you & Denna can make it that weekend. Sure would hate to not see you guys due to a schedule conflict.
Woodchip I know what you mean about gaining your confidence there. The first year after getting my Vol was a relearning experince too since it'd been a few years since riding. By the time I got done with those Arkanasa roads I was feeling pretty good about my skills again. Of course it's always a learning curve.
We've been penciled in for those dates of Aug 19-21 so if the camp is good then we'll be set.

Just a note to touch what Larry and I have been talking about.
I talked to Angelo who runs the campground and we are pencilled in for Aug 19,20,21 pending confirmation and (yea excuse) checkout road trip....yea baby another ride for the spring!!!! So far Rodogy, Tasr, Carbon and Woodchip for a inspection ride! Date TBD for that ride.
Prices for the campground are not settled for '05 season but about 20.00US for site with Elect. around 16.00 with out.
I told him 15 campsites and 6 with Electric.
Elect. - JDSBax, Mark and D., Carbon, Moto, and whoever else needs it.
Not sure if they are going to have the Cabins done but...we'll have to wait and see.
Hey where is that lurker Scott at anyone heard from him????

I can handle the hug thing but, don't take nothing from my ride. LOL she'll be pissed again if she sees this.
