We're are on I40 headed through Memphis, TN on the way home from the Hot Springs, Arkansas motorcycle rally. After low crowds and sales on Thursday and Friday, we thought for sure it was going to be a bust. Saturday however turned things around and the crowds and sales made up for the two slower days.
The rally was well coordinated and was held in a great town. We've not been to Hot Springs before so it was nice to get to visit a new place. We stayed at J and J Campground right down from the Hot Springs KOA and we highly recommend it. The fellow there named JJ was very nice and can fix you right up if you ever need a place to stay in your RV.
The show was held at the convention center indoors which we like as it makes for an easy set up and tear down. What we generally don't like about indoor shows is they charge vendors for their spots and then charge high prices for the customers to come in to spend their money. The fee was $45 for this show but in fairness, it did include two concerts, a chili supper, scenic rides, all kinds of games, tshirts, and the vendor area. I would have paid it if I was just there as a rider.
I imagine there was all kinds of good riding though I didn't get to talk to customers who went. Thankfully, it rained on Saturday which drove customers inside which saved the show for us. Those first days were nice so everyone was probably out riding.
We're trying to make it home straight in . Not sure if it will happen but we're gonna give it our best shot. Monroe, TN, here we come.
