Minnesotans Unite at Spyderfest!
The big announcement came out...Spyderfest is going to be April 24 - 28 this year...the host city will be Ozark, MO.(near Springfield, MO)
So now the big question is, "Who's going from Minnesota?"
Butch and I have already registered online. Check out the official post for Spyderfest for all the registration and lodging information. http://www.spyderfest.com Then as the event gets closer they will add the event schedule.
If you have not attended this event before it is a must! It is a wonderful way to meet some great people, put some faces to the names you see here on Spyderlover, there will be lots of vendors (mostly the ones on this site!) with great riding opportunities too. So, put in for your days off of work (if like Butch and I, you still need to do that!) or put in for days off with the family (bring them with too!) and get your registration and reservations in soon!
See you there, Paula & Butch

Want to attend
Paula, Carolyn and I are looking into RV parks. Would plan to attend on our way home. Need some help from planners as we are not familiar with the area and don't want to stay too far from the action. Mike

Rv parks
Let me know if you find any rv parks, if the other half comes with I'll bring the toy hauler. If she doesn't come I'll tent it.
Stevemac said Len is checking out campgrounds and will post more info when he is done.
Come on winter end!!!

RV/tent camping
Hopefully they will find something closer than 35 or 40 miles. That was the best that I could find. I don't mind the ride but with my bride and puppy dog it would not be a fun time forth and back trying to take in all the activities. We do not pull a car behind the motorhome, as we rely on the spyder to get around while traveling. I sure something will work out as there are many RV and campers in the same situation. I am sure that they did not forget about us. I did call one motel to see if they would allow dry dock camping in their parking lot. I was told no, not an option. Local rules would prohibit us from staying in the unit. Not sure if they meant motel/city/county or state, but thought I would ask.

Mike, if you check out the official Spyderfest website: http://www.spyderfest.com and click on the lodging tab at the top of the page they will have camping info coming soon. If I see it come up I'll shoot you a message. Not a lot of help right now but hopefully soon!

We're staying at Ozark Highlands, $28/day, as are several other attendees. It has public bathroom facilities. Len told Ed he was going to check it out before posting it. Looks like it's pretty close to the official hotel, something like 3 miles. There is another RV park nearby which is $40/day ($20/day for Passport America) but no public bathrooms.

We are considering heading to the 'Fest, but have to find a trailor for the Spyder and the Harley first. We don't want to buy one, just rent. Any ideas?
We will be at the Bike show on the 12th though.

Look forward to see you again at the bike show...see you at 2pm! You could check with Les at Caswell Cycle to see if they rent or know of a place to contact.

I have reservation at EconoLodge. (If Tori lets me go )
She can't go because of work.
I WANNA GO !! I WANNA GO !! I WANNA GO !!
FYI >>EconoLodge just opened up 20-25 more rooms for SpyderFest the other day, if anyone wants to switch to EconoLodge.
They are cheaper $$ than Super8.

LOL I just talked to Les the other day about a trailer for me.
He is looking for one for me to buy (since another couple {I won't mention they're name} stole the one I wanted right out from under me.....) LOL

Good Luck with finding a trailer....but if Tori isn't going and you have an RT (with all those nice compartments) tell me again why you need a trailer?

Thanks.
We think Spyderfest will be a lot of fun. We have through that area and it is beautiful country.
It would be fun to ride together this summer. We really enjoy the drive along the Mississippi River and we have been to the Lanesboro area.
it's just pretty rare to see another Spyder.

Thanks, I saw posts on a couple of the Mora rides, but they hit on days where we couldn't go for the whole day. I'd like to go up there sometime.
See you in Missouri.
