    TrailFest 2016 in Gilbert West Virginia?

    Anyone here planning on being at TrailFest in Gilbert West Virginia this year? The event is scheduled for October 6th through the 10th and they expect somewhere in the neighborhood of 5,000 people to attend.

    I have already registered and have a camp site at the event.
    Here is the link to the TrailFest web site.

    I'm not quite as dedicated as this guy but I respect his commitment.
    Not sure about using nylon rope to tie off to both of the exhaust pipes

    Fred,

    Yeah, the town only has 430 residents so the week of TrailFest brings crowds that must push hard on the little towns seams

    There are lots of videos on YouTube that cover the last ten TrailFest events. Saturday is their annual parade, mostly a Halloween themed event that is pretty slick .
    I don't expect to be able to move about in a vehicle much and the lines in any store in town will probably be very long. The good news is that you can ride an ATV on the roads there. I prepaid for the meal plan so I won't starve to death. All I need is good weather.

    He definitely has the mentality of someone who belongs in West Virginia.....

    I was hoping there would be more riders here so we could put together at least a small group. I have an old friend who will be sharing my camp site, as far as I know there is still space if anyone wants to join us.
