Badlands Aug 13-17

TimJr and I will be heading out to the Badlands 8/13 and riding 14-16, and leaving on the 17th. I havnet yet decided if I want to try the new campgrounds at the entrance, or go to Summer's Carroll again, and I was wondering if anyone had stayed at the new one, and how it compares. From reading the rules its sounds like you have to offload everything in a designated ATV parking area, and Im a little concerned about machines getting ripped off. I was also wondering how noisy and crowded it gets. At Summers Carroll we really enjoyed the peace and quiet at the end of the day, the spread out primitive camp area that was not very crowded at all.

It's for everyone. Getting together to ride what ever is what makes it fun!! I am seeing about making plans to be there myself.

It sounded sweet,but my wife just reminded me of the family reunion
that weekend. :evil: maybe next time.

Yes, anyone is welcome to come and join us! Tell your wife that she is free to go to the reunion, but I dont want to be responsible for the beating you receive!

Tim,

I'm not sure about the rules?, but I know what I saw all three times I've been there trailprotrailpro the gates opened. Everyone camping had there ATV's parked where they were camping. In the mornings you can ride on the left side of the road and bypass the office (the long line too) and go right to the guy checking wristbands. The camp area is in a BIG field with people camping in rows. Looked to be pretty convenient to me.

We are all set, and hopefully ready to head out Wednesay morning. We shoudl arrive early Wed. evening. We will be camping in the primitive area at Summers Carroll campground, and intend 3 full days of riding (Thur-Sat) and will depart for home Sunday morning. Looks like we will be taking the Z, the ALT125, The Raptor80, and the E-Ton. Anyone is welcome to join us at the campground or meet up with us at the Badlands.

Kyle, "DEVIL'S BACKBONE" is in Haspin Acres(home of original TrikeFests)in Laurel, In.Not at Badlands-Attica, In. Badlands is excellent place to ride,so you should check it out anyway. All you need is helmet,flag,ability to sign waiver and $15.00(and coolers w/o alcohol in them,they check them everytime we go in the gate).Haspin Acres though....hmmm....the rules are.....oh yeah, there aren't any. Ride,camp,drink anytime,anywhere and everywhere.
