As is our habit when we get to come to the Gap, we are already at the Tumblin Waters campground. It warmed up nice today, we rode the big bike for a lot of the afternoon, great fun! The triples are waiting their turn, maybe tomorrow I’ll get em out for a test ride.
Drove the moderate size motorhome, pulling a 4000# trailer, the mh gets 9.4 mpg on its own and 8.5 mpg pulling the trailer, the math doesn’t work but about 5 tank fills so far seems to bear this out!

Sound good Joe! Ga and I might have to stop by when you're there sometime. I'm not sure, but I don't think she's seen that campground, and it's a nice ride from the motel. She's gone to the meet with me so many times now that it's getting hard to remember all the places we've ridden together.

I remember it being just off Hwy 28 where it intersects with 74 about 1-2 miles down Joe. Is the road that you turn to the right off 74 Panther Creek? May ride down Sunday late morning.

You take Highway 28 off of 74 heading towards the gap it’s probably 4 miles nearly 5 miles , Panther Creek road, it’s at the bottom of the hill you turn left and you can’t miss it.

Stop by!!!
