Looks like someone will be having fresh fish for a meal or two.
I am an individual. Just like everyone else.

I just mailed my check for the bunk room. My buddies and I stayed there our first year at the Bash. An easy walk to carry some beverages up to the campsite to socialize, but then a dry and clean room to sleep in with a toilet and shower just down the stairs. Only $36 per night, sheets and towels included.
Love the whole hostel idea, and would love to open one myself someday that caters to long distance bikers. A repair shop downstairs for riders to use as needed, some bunk rooms upstairs with some showers, and a place to put up some tents for those so inclined. Also a big raised fire ring with some chairs and benches around it. I'm sure I'd meet some great and interesting people running a place like that up in the Adirondacks. I've got 50 acres near North Creek and Gore Mtn., so maybe someday?

That's a great idea. Could be a popular moto destination. There's a small inn in southern Vermont that's very motorcycle friendly and thus does a lot of motorcycle business, but your concept is way more interesting than just a typical small hotel/B&B.

You could also talk to businesses like MotoVermont about collaboration opportunities.

Tom and I reserved two spots in the group site, hope others have done the same. Guess we'll see which site it is when we get there Friday evening.

Aired out the tent and sleeping bag today. Tomorrow I clean the bike and lube the chain. Thursday is a full day meander to the campsite. My first BTB and I can't wait.

Typically you would mail in a check. At this point it would be best to call them.

campgreenwood@aol.com , mail: PO Box 246 Bennington VT 05201 or by phone or fax: (802) 442-2547.
