Fall camping road trip

[mcgovern61]

My 12 year old daughter and I went for a road trip and went camping last September. We visted Cape May, NJ and the surrounding roads (use to live there years ago!). Here are some pic's:

That looks like so much fun! I wish I could have done the same when my daughter was 12. How did your bike run? Sure looks nice loaded with gear.

~O~

:clapping: Looks like you guys had a blast

Camping from a motorcycle is a different experience for sure.
My son and I have done it twice, memorable times indeed.

The misses doesnt much care for camping,she more of a hotel type,but the boy and I (10) try to load up the bike and trailor at least a couple times a year,and I wouldnt trade a minute of it.

Good times to be sure, missed those opportunities when the boys were young. Now we ride together sometimes.

Randy, It was definately fun! The bike was loaded and crammed in every compartment and really road nice! When we got home and emptied the bags and the faring, it filled the back of my station wagon!

The first time jake and I camped with the bike I didnt have the trailor,it was may,and we went up north to baldwin(MI).
I had 1 small sleeping bag and small pillow in each saddlebag,duffle bag and a few odds and ends in the trunk,and the tiny tent rapped in a thick blanket on the rack.

It was 38 degrees and rained that first night,I apparently grew some since the last time I tried on one of those little sleeping bags....needless to say I froze for 2 nights (I did make sure the boy was as warm as I could,just to save my marrage).

After that,I came home ,built a trailor w/cooler,bought an air matress,2 new jumbo bags,a small heater,and a bigger tent. :music:

Now where talking.

The cold can be a problem if you are not packed for it. :shock:

We had the following gear:

4 person tent
2 sleeping bags
2 pillows
Oil lantern
Queen size automatic mattress (pump built in, just push a button!)
7" DVD player with movies (in the true spirit of the BSA!) (An aside, when I was in the boy scouts, our troop had a motto, "A TV in every Tent!" Troop 593 Philadelphia Council)
Extra sweatshirts
C-Pap machine (If you have to ask, you don't need to know!)
Cameras and camcorder
flashlights
Shaving and personal kits
First aid kit
And a partridge in a pear tree!

Those aftermarket Hondaline trunks really hold a lot of stuff and the Vetter faring is open inside all of the way around (Just have to watch the wires).

We left home, turned on the iPod and cruised!

I hope to be able to load the wing and trailer up this summer and take at least my oldest girl (5) camping. I've got all the equipment I need, but I have a hard time leaving the wife and the youngest girl at home.

The wife doesn't like the idea much either. I've been looking for an old wing to trike for her, but haven't run across exactly what I'm looking for or something I can afford yet.

Just adding a couple pics!

I have a Bi-pap,wife has a C-pap.First week or so drove me nuts.Now the kid's say our room sounds like some special effects for a horror movie.Our 2 yr old grand-daughter wont get near the door if she hears it.She thinks a alien lives in it at night with us. :smilie_happy: So when she is over they go up.

The AT is a very good trail have been on the middle section of it in Pa. You'll see vista's that most people will only see in a magazine actually seeing a mountain chain was pretty neat :hi:
