Hillbilly Hangout III

[belrix]

Thanks the ideas on the gear, believe I have my items picked out.

Kelty TN3 tent
Exped Synmat 12LXW airpad
Kelty sleeping bag (model to be determined)
Helinox Sunset chair

It is a start!

The Kelty TN3 tent sure looks a lot like my Marmot - Limelight 3P - 3 Person Tent. I know the Marmot is a nice tent, as I have used it for 3 years now.

Great looking tent! I should be blaming you for me tent purchase...didn't want to be a wuss.

I won't be purchasing for awhile, waiting on frakle fund to regenerate.

Me too. New tent and new sleeping bag. Hope to try them both out next weekend. The weather looks like it is going to be awesome next week here. I'm ready to ride and camp.

Bump!

We're about one month away! I'm excited. I hope we still have a good turnout and good weather.

 

[itlives]

I was thinking about bumping this yesterday!
I'm with you on both counts!

 

[Bug Dr.]

I'm ready to do some more moto-camping. Just one trip so far this year to Montauk State Park, MO. However, I have trips planned to the hill country of TX and Mt. Nebo before this event. The 2016 riding season is starting full force this month.

Looking forward to seeing my ole NC friends and meeting some new ones.

Clark, you need to stop by and get your helmet on the way up.

When are you coming to the Texas hill county? Make sure to ride the three twisted sister!

Not going to get that far south on this trip. Was going to go to Big Bend but had a change of plans. Maybe next year.

Are you going to be at the Hub?

I have high hopes of being at the Hub. However, I am currently at the mercy of the doctors. Had my right eye lens replaced last week. Will get answer if I can go to Daytona around 1:30pm this afternoon. When the doctor is replacing the left eye lens I still do not have a date as of yet, but should be soon. I also have appointment on March 21st with doctor to find out when they are going to replace the knees. Within the next year hopefully I will be able to once again stand on the pegs to ride in the dirt! Hopefully there is hope after 70 to keep on keeping on. Can not imagine not being able to RIDE!

Jim,
I hope you can get everything sorted out soon. I want to see you ride that AT like a bionic man

Good luck, OCR.

They operate on me again on March 30th. With a little luck and a week of good healing, I have hopes to be at Hillbilly Hangout III. The eye that got the new lens last week now has 20/25 vision. I can see some things I have not seen in years clear again. My wife sure got a lot of wrinkles sense I saw her last?.?

I might miss the 1st or even the 2nd day, but somehow I have hopes of being there. Looks like the first knee operation will be near the end of April. Got to heal from that one quick, got a new bike to RIDE!

Yeah, everyone wants to see your new bike...er, I mean YOU!

Depending on how my next procedure goes I may try to cage it up there to sit around the campfire Saturday night.

Procedure? What they heck are they doing to you? Let me guess.......you are getting a very large Razorback tattoo on your back and it is taking multiple sessions to complete. I understand completely.

Well, you know I got my ACL repaired in Dec. That resulted in nerve damage. They call it complex regional pain syndrome. Anyhow getting a sympathetic nerve block on the 23rd to see if that will stop the pain. If they suggested a Razorback tattoo would help, I'd opt to have the leg cut off instead.
