Some thoughts on camping at the NorEast Rally
The camp ground is around a 1/4 or 1/2 mile down a tree lined winding road to a wooded clearing. The site could probably handle well over 100 campers but we have it all to ourselves. It would be difficult at best to create enough noise that would bother other campers on the far side of the river, unless large scale fireworks were utilized. It's very private there, aside from the occasional hiker passing through in the daylight hours. A small waterfall and stream border the campground, along with miles of hiking trails. I don't know how cold the water is there (yet) but I've seen folks swim in it. Biker Ed & family spend a great deal of time setting up extensive all weather facilities for cooking and etc. They supply grill space, cooler space, and so on and so forth. The campground also has National Park Service style grills that have been known to produce some sumptuous wee hours BBQ chicken. 100 feet or so from the center of the camp site is a one story building with indoor toilets and sinks. The building has electrical outlets in case one wants to charge a cell phone or what have you. A two minute walk across a stone bridge leads one to hot showers and the trash facility. There are a number of mature trees within the campsite, so to lash up a hammock or clothes line is easy business.
And now, with all kidding aside, one of the very best parts of this camp ground -- There -- are -- absolutely -- no -- bugs. No mosquitoes, no flies, no gnats, no black flies, no deer flies, & no horse flies. I find it hard to believe, but in two visits there, I experienced nary a single bug swat or bite.
Some of the campers stay up very late and drink mass quantities of alcohol by the roaring camp fire, but I suppose we can forgive them.
Hope to see y'all there, if I can make it.
