The Hunt for the Mythical Misty Mountain Motorcycle Campground
"The open road is a beckoning, a strangeness, a place where a man can lose himself."
--William Least Heat Moon
Yep, the road beckons once again but I have the last of my school work to do. So next week I'm taking the motorsickle and my laptop on a trip to ride nice roads by day and finish my master's project by night. First I need to find a Mythical Misty Mountain Motorcycle Campground that:
has wi-fi
is within a 6-hour drive of Lou-a-vuhl
has excellent MC touring routes, preferably near Deal's Gap
is not full of drunken yuppie-biker wannabes
I've actually found one place that meets most of my criteria, but looks iffy on criteria #4 (hmm - criteria or criterium?).
Last night I called the place where I really wanted to stay and the conversation went like this:
"Campground...kin eya hep yeh?"
"Yeah, I'm coming down that way next week and saw your site on the internet. I was wondering if you guys have wi-fi?"
"Whut you sayin?"
"WI-FI"
"I duuno whutcher sayin."
"Do you have wireless internet access?"
"Uh...no. Why would we have that?"
"OK, nevermind. Thanks."
The hunt continues...

Yep - I am the king nerd of all motorcyclists.
Did you ask if they have a banjo-playing cretin?
Iron Horse looks amazing.
"Gid-dowd-ohn-dah-HAHweyyy..."
Banjo-playing cretins are extra.
