Depends on where they move it to next year. Might be wise to look for some private property place, but even those still get hassled by the locals with permits, etc. With an event like this, I think it's a good idea to move it around every few years. Never fails when the locals get wind of what's going on, they throw a hissy fit.
I went to the Smoke Out West last year, first time they had one out west. Had a good time, lots of bikes, and very little police presence. Going back again this year, so we'll see.
