Anyone interested in a June 30th ride in VT culminating with a JohnnyA. and Jen Murdza concert at Higher Ground? Great food in Burlington too.

Hoboy....a choice between a ride and a ride and music on that date is no contest. What kind of venue is the show?

I'll know if I can do this by Wednesday.

Tom, browse around on their site:

Church Street Marketplace is a cool place too. There are lots of really good restaurants there. Ri Ra is a good Irish pub with pretty good food too. That is only about 10min. from Higher Ground.

Is there an interesting trip planned for the ride home on Sunday?

I'm trying to plan a warm up camping trip for Tucker and Gary for this same weekend. We don't plan to leave until noon on Saturday so we wouldn't make it to you in time for the music. But we could consider camping and riding back on Sunday?

We're currently looking for a destination...

You slacker! Sorry you can't make it.

OK, The campsite is reserved for Fri. & Sat nights. (had to take 2 nights to reserve) It is site #53 near the bathroom and shower.

Jack and I are camping Friday night. So who else is camping Friday night?

Campsite for 2 nights is $38.00 and that covers 4 people. So if we all camp out both nights it is $9.50 ea.

Here is the campground and map.

It's a 4+ hour ride for me to get there and considering it's prolly gonna be heavy traffic heading out of Boston, I'm not yet sure if I can clear my service calls in time to get there Friday night.

What time do you figure that you and Jack will get there?

Hey there Everyone,

I have no strict itinerary for my travels this weekend......I will be meeting the Conn. group and traveling with them somewhere....and not sure for how long. Originally I was planning on taking the trip to Niagara falls.....however, for the first time in a very long time, I am feeling poor as dirt!! Next time I decide to go to graduate school....will somebody please tell me how much it is going to interfere with my play time!!! So, spending lots of money is not in my plan. Not sure when exactly I will be joining up with you......I have Tom's cell # though and will be keeping you informed of my location. There is one thing I know for very sure.....I will be spending the next 6 days on my motorcycle and I will enjoy every moment of it....no matter where I am. I look forward to meeting all of you and getting every bit of information that I will gain from you.

Joyous

Bummed I can't make this one guys, a concert and camping sounds like too much fun. I've got the best man from my wedding (who reports to the FBI Academy next week) stopping out for the weekend. Have a proper pint at Ri-Ra's for me.

Joyous, I hear you on the graduate school... Finished last year, and I'm STILL looking for where my life went. I could swear I put it in a safety deposit box someplace, but I must have lost the key. Since I'm meeting the day 1 leg of the Niagara trip tomorrow, I can comisserate...

I'll probably end up trying to add a site next to yours if possible. Since there are 4 or 5 of us we could enjoy some spill over???

I'm trying to confirm if Gary's wife will be joining us or not (she's the fifth).
