Link for 2019 Polar Bear DS/AD ride Let me know if anyone would like to share a camp site with me. There large enough two vehicles and a trailer. The sites come with water and electric and hot showers are near by. I always ride with the (A) group which is usually around 8-12 riders is lead by Retired US Army MSG Rob Butts, he always does an excellent job 90 to 120 miles a day depending on weather.

Wow Darrell, you do some cool rides. I hope when my son is a little older I can do a bit more of this stuff.

As a kid I grew up in South Florida. I've been back only a few times as an adult but never with a bike.

My Dad, HarleyFLH72 here, may be there, but he's no A rider. I'd be interested in joining you, but wife has to work and kids have to go to school back up here in Maryland. Feel free to send my dad a message if you may want a site-mate, but he'll probably want to ride with a slower group.

Thanks for posting up about this Darrell. I've put it in the calendar, just gotta bid the time off. How soon do you have to know about splitting the site?

If your at the hammer run just give $37.00 that's half of the cost for the site. If the weather turns bad that week, we only out $37 each because theirs no entry fee. last. This past year I drove down their the day after the bad snow storm that came up I-95 it took me 14 hours from central NC to get to the camp site. I-95 north bound at the SC/GA line looked like a 15 mile parking lot. It was not a wise decision to go.

If it's just me, or fewer than 4, I'll take the pickup and pull my little trailer. You're welcome to ride along. This is assuming I get the time off, I'll know by dec 10.
