This is from memory, so don't shoot me if anything has changed in the last year.

Gas:
Circleville

Riverton (I think that place was still open)

Bartow (x2, one right at the intersection of 250/28/92, and another roughly where the map marker is)

Edit: Just noticed... "Laurel Fork is a geographical oddity. 25 miles from everything!"

y'all FFs already out there do whatever it takes to make the rain go away, sacrifice something, do nekid rain dance :eek1 anything!

Well Scotty looks like most of my guys have backed out. I may be stuck riding with some Smibs

This is my first time coming out to LF, would one say this more of a KLR event or more of a Wee event??

It looks like I'll have more fun on the KLR, but my Wee has more storage for fluff!

Skippii, don't answer that question.<cite>

Both are absolutely great options. I've been to multiple. This isn't a hardcore race, or even sanctioned event.

Ride the bike you feel like riding. Link up wit all the cool people at the site, ride with some that seem to be riding similar and have fun.

There isn't a regular loop that most will be riding that my Tiger hasn't conquered (albeit with some convincing here and there). Some guys ride monster 1250 adv's and cover most of the state in one weekend, others ride 250 thumpers (and even an occasional Rukus..hburg) and tear up the back dirt roads. But either are fine and fun. It's up to you.

Don't you hate it when parts of your engine come out with oil during an oil change?

Jaxobsessed sent me a new part for my engine when it broke last week. Got that assembled last night, but as I drained the oil to install it, a part from the camshaft bearing fell into the oil pan.
With all this excitement during the preparations, I can't wait to see what will happen during the ride and at the campsite!

Still not sure if I'll be coming this year, or at least on what bike I'll be there. Might have to just take the Ninja and not go on the dirt rides. Or maybe I'll just spend my vacation in the garage so I can make it next year. We'll see.

Don't back out!! Anyone who rides a 250 to alaska I have to meet!

My 2 cents say bring the KLR, for what it's worth.

I...er.....what? :huh

You might have me confused with someone else. I know of one guy who rode a Ninja 250 from Key West to Prudhoe, but it was not I.
I'm the guy who's famous for taking a girl to Reddish Knob.

KLR all the way. Dont listen to any smart asses about me and my KLRs I rode mine easy...

Oooops, senility. Apologies.

I'll be there Friday night and will give you guys the details.

Well, Ms. Informed slaved over the stove until almost 10 pm tonight to make you FF's a double batch of BACON cheeseburger soup!!! Now I just have to find room to pack it?

I've been swamped work-wise since January and won't make it but was just up there Sunday and took these photos. The NF roads are in great shape!

It's cool and beautiful during the day and low to mid 30's at night, so take the warm bag. Yes, that's still some of the white stuff:

look at what the cat drug in...
Hi Wreck!
Thanks for the heads up.

Awesome, put it where your tent and sleeping bag would normally go.

Priorities.

Tell Ms.Informed thanks. I've tried this at home and it's nowhere as good as her's at Laurel Fork.

We have the same oven/stovetop..........................except mine is black............

stupid post over................

The TKC's are mounted, panniers are packed, and the flask is full. Now all I need is some good beer and a few steaks and I'll be set. See you boys and girls tomorrow.
