4th Annual FLRA - Frosty Nutz Campout with Yankee Beemers - Join Us!
Thu, Apr 27, 2017 12:00pm Sun, Apr 30, 2017 4:00pm
Break out your rally cups again! The 2017 season kicks off with a little early spring camping at the Frosty Nutz Rally in Vermont. Bring your sleeping bag, a sweater and a warm hat. We will be riding the twisties through the Adirondacks on the way up, hanging out around a bonfire at Wilgus State Park, and planning our day with morning coffee. There is a a mix of lean-tos, Connecticut River-facing camp sites, and a few cabins (first come-first serve). Firewood is available on site, and there is a store and butcher shop nearby.
Hot coffee every morning but you MUST bring your own cup. You can bring your own dinner to cook over the campfire, and as usual there will be a dinner Friday night for everyone to enjoy. Feel free to bring bread, cheese, sausage, venison etc to share. Its a great way to get to know the Yankee Beemers and FLRA club members. There is a communal fire area, and each site has fire pit with a grill over it. It is one of the better facilities in the Vermont Park System for campfire chefs!
Folks often will gather at the coffee pot / campfire as soon as the sun comes up (or earlier) and plan rides to eat. See ya there!
While this is spring camping, typically the weather during the day is quite warm. Typical overnight temps get close to, but rarely below freezing. If you would like to reserve a cabin, please contact the YB rally chairs. Cabins are first-come, first serve and sleep 4-6 people. They are not heated, but have electricity.
Rally Fee is $25. Pay Online at the FLRA Web Store - https://squareup.com/store/flra
