10th BS Riders & Autobahn Spring Mother's Day Campout - May 11-12 - Pickstown, SD

If it only stops snowing... wait... even if it does keep snowing the 10th Annual Big Sioux Riders (Sioux City, IA) and Autobahn (Sioux Falls, SD) Spring Campout... at the Dam ... on Mother's Day weekend is on. The old event name was changed after we got a few complaints about the order of words in the event name, but it's still the same low-key, friendly event. Mark May 11-12 (Sat-Sun) down as the dates and meet us there. We camp at the Fort Randall Recreation Area below the Pickstown Dam because the weather is nicer down there. The hot showers and running water bath rooms will turned on by then and we will have warm coffee brewing all night long. Come site around the campfire, kick some lies and tell us about your tires. See you there.

Upcoming Fall Events

I got an email from Gary J. trying to find out who is riding to the Fort Ransom Rally next weekend.  We haven't had much discussion about who is going where lately, so maybe its time.  Post your comments below or contact Gary directly.  Lots places to still go before the snow flies.

Anyone going to Dakota Classic camping rally at Fort Ranson, ND this weekend?  Frump  can't go, but maybe someone else can?  I hear its a good little BMW rally and its pretty close.

The Central Iowa Airhead Campout Sept 21-13 near Stuart and Panora, IA is even closer?


You can't vote for Ms. BBQ if you not going to Bikes, Blues and BBQ on Sept 24-26 in Fayetteville, AR?  

How about the GLMC Harvest Road Rally on October 6th?

Potosi Camping Rally on October 12-14?


How about any of the BMWMOA's Weekend Getaways? 


Anything else I'm missing?
