    A Campfire Tale

    My warm-up for the the Vandalia liars contest. I'm saving the best (biggest tall tales) for FODS Holly River. We will miss you grandpa.

    A Campfire Tale

    This is about as far off topic as it is possible to wander but there may be some here who will find it worth a look. A Campfire Tale told in the tradition of WVs annual Vandalia Gathering liars contest...

    FODS 2016 returns to WV

    Could be someone from the Tenere forum dunno. We are likely going to end up being scattered; one of the drawbacks of the location.

    FODS 2016 returns to WV

    All the routes are big pig friendly. There are plenty of opportunities along the way to get in over yer azz. The question is can you trust yourself? That and if you don't bring that new Katoom I will forever give you **** on sight!

    FODS 2016 returns to WV

    Sites that can be reserved are limited. Areas 2 & 3 are the target zones but not sure what you'll find. Weekend after Memorial Day so all will be good the campground will not fill. If you can't reserve a spot don't let that stop you from attending. We will find a place for you to setup. I'm...

    FODS 2016 returns to WV

    Be advised the published routes are all true 50/50 dual sport routes. Each is approx. 200 miles long. WR with a stock seat is not recommended (according to Billy Fitz last year). Nothing hairy off road but NOT advisable for a street bike while fine for a Tenere. However it is an all bike...

    You and I would make on two dual sport riders so far. Others will be along after some arm twisting. The riding is great and whatever level of gnarl floats yer boat can be had.

    Fred the views from Dolly Sods on your last day into Holly River are second to none. FODS WV site...https://www.attacktheroad.com/fodswv/ ...is up but the route files are a work in progress. GPX files likely will be active before long. Sounds like the Strom is ready for business. Y'all have...

    I fear I corrupted Joe on his birthday at Bluestone. He has had a taste for honey dew vine water ever since...thinks he can run the bear off the mountain once partaken. Sounds like Joe and Bryan should make a team effort. Clear out all those pesky bears.

    In addition to Bob's advice, Seek out the BRP at Fancy Gap then Meadows of Dan, Mabrie Mill and lunch in Floyd or on out to Tuggles Gap then close back on 221S to home base. You will move way up on your gfs list of people to like. For you, 81S to Marion, ride 16N as far as you'd care to, say...
