I was worried about the trip to Missouri...
The quality of bacon was going to be an issue.
But I've finally found a solution: bring my own!
Oh Bob that's just awful. How could you? Poor Piggies. I might have to call the ASPCA.

Orrrr...
Bring old clothes, and throw them out as you get done with them. Re-Stock your wardrobe as needed.
Another option: mail the dirty laundry home!
Bob:
Tempting as it is to save all your old skivvies to use as disposable diapers to and from Spyderfest, I personally find that a part of the secret of all-day-comfort in the saddle is the best wicking/synthetic underwear I can find. Not to get overly graphic, but a pair of worn out droopy drawers just doesn't work all that well for more than about 20 minutes on even the best of aftermarket seats.
Two pair of fast-drying undershorts will do for any length trip, especially if the first thing you do upon arriving at the motel each evening is rinse and hang to dry that day's underwear; hung in front of the AC unit, they're dry before midnight, ready to pack or re-wear.
Anything that doesn't dry by morning can easily be slipped under a cargo net where it's exposed to the air and sun on the following day's ride; makes for good conversation starters at gas stops.
After reading this thread I'm really leaning toward going. I'm booked for my hotel for SpyderQuest, but that is at the end of the summer. This will be my first full season piloting a Spyder and I'm looking forward to meeting new people. I'll even bring some Woodford Reserve and Rocky Patels!

Isn't it weird that in AMERICA our flag and our culture offend so many people...... but our benefits don't?

I don't believe you'll have any trouble making new friends!

If you decide on Spyderfest (and you should of course) let me know your room number. You sound like a conosour (sic) of fine whiskey and cigars.

Hey Joe I think this guy is going to fit right in. I would like to nominate him as our head "bar keep"!

Booked my room at the Best Western last night. However no rooms available on the 27th - in case anyone else was still on the fence on booking. I know there will be other host hotels, but the lady said they were at about max capacity for the event. It will be good to meet many of you and I may even take a day to visit some friends in the area. I've spent many of days at Fort Lostinthewoods and I have not been back to my Alma Mater of Arkansas State University since I graduated almost 20 years ago.
This may put a damper on my plans for SpyderQuest, but I did not want to wait until September to hit my first event.
I thought that it was bait for a Bacon-Lover's trap!
