SANTA Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 i can't seem to find any info on tenting in regard to advance registration.... Do i need to register with the campground in advance to to tent? still unsure if i can make it, but want to be there Link to comment
hANNAbONE Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 sANTA : Sounds like you just show up and pitch it...$5.00 a day == extra $5.00 with electricity. Plenty o' room - as they'e had +200 BMW rallys there with no trouble getting the tenters a place....so said Steve. Link to comment
Dances_With_Wiener_Dogs Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 i can't seem to find any info on tenting in regard to advance registration.... Do i need to register with the campground in advance to to tent? If you refer to this lodging and general info thread, you can pre-register for the tent camping. The hotel/camping prices listed are discounted for us. To get the prices, call the numbers listed and say that you are with the BMW UnRally. Be sure to specify the dates that you want – the BMW club of Oregon holds a rally there too, the Chief Joseph rally in mid-June. The fairgrounds don’t take credit cards at this time; you’ll have to mail them a check. Still, the fairgrounds hold hundreds of tents for the other rally, so we’ll have plenty of space. Headquarters Grant County Fairgrounds 411 NW Bridge St. Phone: 541-575-1900 Amenities: UnRally Headquarters, showers, picnic tables, WiFi, eating pavilion Prices: $5 per tent, extra $5 for electricity. Yes they can park RVs. No, I don’t know exactly how much… Link to comment

Dances_With_Wiener_Dogs Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 lastly when tenting, what provisions are there for security of belongings, do they have some form of locker? No lockers. In all of my years of moto-camping and rallying, I have never had anybody pilfer any of my stuff, stored at camp. Link to comment
SANTA Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 well looks like i'm gonna tent this trip, looking forward to seeing you all John which bike are you bringing this year? we gotta go out and slay a free more corners together... Link to comment
hANNAbONE Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 well looks like i'm gonna tent this trip, looking forward to seeing you all John which bike are you bringing this year? we gotta go out and slay a free more corners together... tHAT iS soooooooooo happenin', Santa...I'm getting stoked about coming.! Sounds like there is gonna be quite a crew. Hope they've got enough beer in John Day.??!! Bike - well - I'm 90% leaning towards the KTM...but I was just riding my Sprint ST/ABS in the rain and man I'd love to take it too. I'll keep ya posted. See ya in a month..! Link to comment
hANNAbONE Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 sANTA - the more that I think about it the more I'm leaning towards the Sprint ST/A...it'll get upper 40's to +50 mpg even loaded...the KTM will get low to mid 30's. I'll probably bring the ST if I 2-wheel it from Dull Moan, Iowa. If I trailer it - it'll be a toss up. Link to comment
MikeRC Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 OK, I've got the camping stuff packed. But I'm not looking forward to being in a tent at 90 to 100F. I remember a few years ago not being able to sleep at Bright Angel campground, Grand Canyon. Got up at midnight and it was still 95F!! One or two sleepless nights and I'm moving for air conditioning. I'll be there Monday afternoon. Route to be determined, checking weather maps first. Mike Cassidy Link to comment
