[QUOTE="luvtoride, post: 965137, member: 250"] I took absolutely no pictures except for the ones in my head. Jay & I got home about midnight on Sunday evening. We actually took our time, stopping off of Rte 58 & down by the river for some lunch. We stopped for dinner & split a terribly bad steak in South Boston somewhere off of 58. We ended up with a free meal. It definitely wasn't worth the rest of the ride home. Within a half hour of leaving the restaurant we ran into rain & fog for the rest of the ride home. It definitely made for a slower ride. I actually had my rear tire break loose a couple of times on the wet pavement. Can you say major f'in pucker?!?!? Yeah, it's the last trip on those tires! As to the campground conditions: I'd give the campground a firm 6 out of 10. I'd give the roads (except for the strip of gravel that I planned which I had tried NOT to plan) a 10 out of 10. I didn't actually like the fact that our campground was up a hill of gravel & rutted road. Trying to house 40-60 people likely wouldn't happen. It'd easily handle more folks than we had, tho... but likely not that many. The port o potty was supposed to be cleaned before we got there. It was just a few inches from full the first time that I used it. The bath house was clean with 2 shower stalls in the ladies room. I didn't like the fact that you had to go down the hill to use it. There was dumped over garbage when we got there. There was no grate on the grill that was provided. It was obvious the area hadn't been tended to in awhile. Would I go back? Probably... the racoons would highly appreciate Jay coming back. Especially, if he brings egg beaters. Mark, I have a new road to share with you. Unless you are very comfortable with riding heavy duty twisties with a pillion, do not take it while on your trip in June. The road is Rte 80 from Poor Valley Rd (north) & south of Rte 19. We took it running north the first time & then Jay & I took it running south on our way home. All I can say is WOW! [/QUOTE]
