Custer National Next Time

[DredheadV2.0]

Actually I joked to the Wife about doing just that to next year's National in Arkanasa.  But I would park the trailer somewhere a few hundred miles away so I can "ride" in.  

Some folks did that in 2004, if memory serves.

I would fully support a Utah meet, by the way.

My Suggestion is to work in a 5th location into the rotation, possibly the next year Custer rolls around, Or Colorado then go from there ,  Ie if it was Custer  used to make a spot
1) New west Coast meet
2) Arkansas
3) Colorado or Utah meet
4)Eastern Meet
5) Custer meet

Or If Colorado's spot was used
 IE
1) New Western Meet
2) Eastern Meet
3) Custer
4) Arkansas
5)Colorado
Or move the rotation around
 
Just a suggestion

The rotation was established to give the most number of people the most opportunity to attend, and it's worked for a while.  But if attendance is dropping, why not throw it out for a free-for-all for 2012?  Let the majority pick the location, try to make it the biggest one ever (coz the world's gonna end anyway).  If that whole process ends up sucking, we can go back to the rotation in 2013 and maybe add the 2012 location (if it was a new one and well-loved) to the stable as a replacement or a fifth destination.

Won't work   Too logical.

Stillaguamish ?  Unless someone sold the still ??

Bozeman, MT?  Ride into yellowstone?  I imagine somebody has thought of this and there is a good reason why not, but seeing as how i only have 3 states on my map, I don't know it.

Nobody rides into Yellowstone for the ride.

Yep, that is painful. Pretty in a few places .. but painful on a bike.  Over rated MC ride in my opinion.

maybe there's a hotel on Utah Highway 12 in the middle of nowhere.

Being in the middle of nowhere would give the event an aura similar to the one felt by the characters in Close Encounters of a third Kind who were drawn to the mashed potato mountain in South Dakota

Boulder View Inn in Torrey, at the top of the wonderful Hwy 12. 24 to the east is great as well.  Actually, the Boulder only has 11 rooms, but there are many other hotels in town.

Lochsa Lodge near Lolo Pass? Camping, cabins and a lodge. Good food, beautiful location.

View from the Boulder Viewl in Torrey; Capitol Reef Inn and Cafe (neat old place with great eats, it was on Roadfood) is just down the street.

I went to the first National in Custer, once was enough.
I kinda like BJ's & Dred's idea, (seems like) "go BIG or don't go"!!!

Utah 12 may be my firstest bestest ride ever.

And chances are, It'll be HOT.

Utah would be fine by me, I can hit some tasty stuff on the way out there. We would have to hear the crying from certain people about having to cross some flatland from the west coast to get there  ( like nobody from the east has to cross flatlands   ) Great location BTW

Yeah, fer reals.  When I lived in IL, I couldn't go ANYWHERE without crossing Flatlands.

+1  and dangerous due to wildlife.
