Hi Gents,
I registered a few months ago and have since sold my bike but havent purchased a new one. I assume it's alright to show up in my truck? I know I'll look like a spazz, but I rather soak in the experience bikeless then miss out at this point. I just want to make sure, there will be a place to park and camp? Cheers, Tom |

Camping is no problem as long as you're in a tent, and pre-registered for camping. Parking is an issue, as the space is very limited - you may have to park down the road, and walk a 1/4 mile or so, not sure exactly. OR you can park up at the top in the cabin area, no problem there. see you there! |
Sweet, thanks!

If you haven't registered yet, get busy! the Presentation schedule is in near final draft, and it's looking amazing! And FULL!
Your biggest problem is going to be figuring out what you want to see. We start Thursday afternoon and go right through to Sunday noon, with up to 4 presentations at once. :) See you there, Grant |
I'm already registered. bier

Gettin' Ready!
I visited Camp yesterday to check on a few details with the great folks there. Everything is looking REALLY good for this year's meeting.
Afterward, I took a detour through Cambria to check in with some friends there, and found the town full of Scarecrows! They're having a Scarecrow festival all month, and businesses, organizations and residents are all creating amazing creatures - the town is full of them. Some are even on 2 wheels! http://createabang.smugmug.com/photo...-zPGbR7T-L.jpg Well worth a short side trip while you're in the area.:funmeteryes: (The photo doesn't show it, but the wheels are turning and the legs are pumping!) See you at the meeting, |
Question...because its early and my brain hasnt engaged itself yet...
I cant remember from last year, but do I have to bring a copy of the email confirmation from paypal?? I cant remember, again, whether or not I have even got said email, but I did already register and pay. Thats it for now, got an early morning date with my coffee maker... |

If you're mailing us a check please send a copy, but that's it. See you there! |
One Week To GO
Almost time to saddle up and head for Cambria. Hope we haven't forgotten anything... let see...
Lots of great vendors with their gear - CHECK Tons of technical and how-to presentations - CHECK Inspiring travel presentations - CHECK Old and new friends to meet - CHECK First hand info on destinations around the world - CHECK Ocean front camping and great food - CHECK ...and one more thing - We'll wind up the weekend with LIVE MUSIC on Saturday night. Right after Ted Simon's presentation we'll light up the campfire and sit back under the Cambria pines to enjoy live tunes by Jill Knight. http://createabang.smugmug.com/photo...-V4TFCwd-S.jpg "Jill's music delivers a southern texture to an Americana, bluesy, R & B feel that will take the listener on a wonderful ride. Its hard to say which is better-the song or the way Jill Knight sings it." Click for a preview And one more thing - GREAT Weather! The forecast is sunny - mid 70s :thumbup1: All systems are GO - See ya there! |

Grant & Susan! Hello from Corvallis, Oregon! I am registered to attend next week, but my plans of riding down with some friends has completely fallen apart! So, here is my delima, and I am looking for some suggestions/support from this community so I DON'T miss out on this event!
I am new to riding (on my own bike now - BMW F650GS). I purchased Serenity (her name) the first part of June this year...and I have already logged about 5,000 miles on her over the summer! Not too bad for a busy gal like me! BUT... I have NOT taken a long trip on my own, and I am feeling uncomfortable riding down all by myself. With that said... is there any way to find out if there are individuals attending the event from the Pacific Northwest that might be riding down that I could meet up with? I am scheduled to leave the morning of October 16th and returning back home to Corvallis by the early afternoon of the 23rd! SO... Anyone out there going my way??? At least from North to South? I can always catch a ride back with my friends that will be leaving a day earlier than me. Return trip, not too worried about... Trip to California...yes... Don't want to be out there on my own! Not just yet! I have mucho much to learn! I would love to hear from ANYONE about support! Thanks a ton!!! Cheers, Nick Beachboard-Dodson! |
Hi Nick,
I don't have a direct solution to your problem, but you might try contacting the HU communities in your area. The communities page lists Eugene and Portland, as well as Redding CA. It's possible someone in one of those groups is heading down to the meeting. The "Contact a Community" page is Horizons Unlimited Motorcycle Travellers' Community - Contact a Community! Good luck, and hope to see you in Cambria, |
Thanks so much!!! Since I am new to the HU Community, there is still much for me to learn! I sent messages to the three you mentioned. We shall see what I get in return!
I hope to be on the road next week! Cheers, Nick:thumbup1: |
