NASCAR ALERT! NASCAR ALERT!
Ya beat me to the post, Jay.
There is a race at Dover on Sunday 9/27, and as a result we can expect rooms to start drying up quickly. Dover is only an hour north of the rally. I've booked my room, as has JBCruisin'. The rate was $85 per night (plus occupancy tax, which makes it $92) at the Red Mill Inn at Lewes. Rooms aren't likely to be any cheaper, unless you head farther south. If you want to book at Red Mill, the phone number is: (302) 645-9736.

Cape Henlopen is a really nice park, but I've never camped there. Here's a link to campsite information: Camping at Cape Henlopen State Park, Lewes, Delaware
I hope this helps!
Looking forward to seeing you there. Stay tuned for more information regarding the rally.
We hope to be there also. We will call tomorrow to make reservations at the red mill inn. We have a small dog, so he can come along for the trip as well since the inn is pet friendly.
We have a room at the Red Mill Inn for Saturday night, it is an extra $10 if you bring a pet on top of the $92.
Yeah, I knew that. They charged me $10. for Bonnie. Ha,ha, just kidding. Hope she doesn't see this.

Hey Guys, I got a problem with attending the ride.
I have a pet Koala, and he has a "Flea Circus" of his very own. Will they let him stay? Do you 'spose they will charge extra for each one of "Killey the Koala's" fleas? Killey has an engagement in Chicago a few days after the ride, and that's how we are gonna pay for the trip.
And, what will happen if his star performer "jumper" should get lost, squashed, or (heaven forbid) poisoned?
I know that some of the rest of you have simple lives, with little to no complications, but, what am I to do?
BTW Killey only eats a certain type of Eucalyptus leaves, will I be able to get him enuf of the Red Eucalyptus leaves to make his daily salads?
Please let me know at earliest convenience, since it is a terribly long ride from here to the ride, and I think we need to leave here 60 day early to get there on time. We have to make frequent stops, because Killy gets a little bummed riding in the side-car, and wants to make a lot of "potty stops".
Please help a lonely Koala and his buddy........

Mike, I called the motel and believe it or not, Red Eucalyptus leaves are a part of their continental breakfast. So go ahead and bring your Koala, but you may have to pay a little more to stay at the motel with it. The Koala discount was last month. September they have a discount rate for those traveling with Kinkajous.
Hi, well, I had a talk with Killey. It didn't go well. The thing is that in my youth, out at the farm we had some pets.
A very mean-spirited Monkey named "Suki" which was the actual nickname of the bosses oldest daughter.
A ring-necked Pheasant, a Chinese Golden Pheasant, some Chickens, some pigs, a couple of Geldings, a Mare, a Jenny, a Stallion (that's where we got the Jenny), a couple of Dogs, a few stray cats, and 64,000 head of cattle. Seems like there was a Mexican Parrot or two? BUT the most admired resident of our lil "Farm", was a lil hairy guy named "Kinky".
Kinky was a South American Kinkajou, a lazy guy, tho a bit more active than a 3-toed sloth, Kinky was a fun guy, laying on his back, eating grapes right off the bunch, one at a time.
Now the Drama, poor Kinky ate some crickets that had been chlordane'd got sick, mean, and bit the Bosses son, driving one of his long front teeth right thru his thumbnail! Well after he died they did the Rabies test, and Joe was really happy to not get the Rabies shots.
Killey and I were so depressed about the memories, that we both ate those D*mnmed red eucalyptus leaves, and drank Fosters, till we both were green at the gills!
You ever seen a Koala's gills? NOT a pretty sight!
Killey and I are now kinda depressed, and not sure if we can make it, he's even considering cancelling the Flea Circus date in Chi-Town, and missing out on going to Motown Records, and meeting Barry Gordy.
BBL more of those durned leaves are backing up again......

Trophies have been ordered, and things are coming together for the rally. I'm really looking forward to the event, and I sure hope I can ride by then. I have my left foot in a "boot". I don't know yet if it's sprained, strained, bruised or broken. (I don't think it's broken.) If worse comes to worst, at least I can drive the "Sag Wagon".
I just talked to calvynandhobbs (yes, that's his user name) & he didn't know about the rally. I sent him details & links. Don't people read this section of the forum???

This post started over a year ago. I didn't realize that this thread covered over a year in planning for this event. I'm not going to be able to make it the weekend of the 26th/27th. Currently I don't have a way to put my bike on my vehicle and that weekend is the Jeep Rally in Somers, CT. I'm manning a booth on Sunday for the East Coast 4wd Association. After reading through all of the posts over the past year I have to say that this event looks like it will be a lot of fun and I'm sorry I'm going to miss out on the festivities. Now that I'm aware of this rally I'll block that time off of my calendar for the next one.

Woo hoo! The trophies have arrived! As this event falls more into place, I just can't wait. Let's pray for nice weather.
Two more weeks until the Rally!!! Can't wait!! I'm not wishing the year away, but I love rallys. Got quite a few bikers from my little town coming.

I am bringing my bike, some tools (including 12v/6v battery charger), spare gas, and a spare helmet to the rally. I am also going to bring my welding equipment along on the trip in case anything breaks on anyones bikes. What else could we bring down for the event?
Wow! I think you're coming better prepared than anyone! I can't think of anything else you'd need to bring in order to tend to the bike. However, read the next post...
