This forum allows conversation on non-controversial topics, therefore no politics or religion. "The Campfire" is an area meant for casual, civil discussions. Deliberate anti-social activity including personal insults, profanity, pornography, racism, threats and purposely inflammatory posts may result in suspension of forum access or possibly a permanent ban from GSR.
The words insight and incite are pronounced the same. But one of them will get you banned and the other will not. Before hitting the Submit button be certain which of the two better describes your post.

Camp 5 is where General Custer camped with his troops on the way to The Little Bighorn, at least that's the way heard it. These days the Camp 5 trailhead is where off-roaders park and unload their ORV's, you can also camp here free if you like. Right now it's full of fellow vagabonds many of which are here to work various jobs at the stores, camps and vendors. The rally officially opens later this week, some guys have been here for a month already.
As to other news I became a South Dakota resident by renting a mailbox for a year and spending one night in a campground. Bring in the receipts from that along with your birth certificate, Social Security card and current driver's license and you walk out of the DMV an hour later with a picture ID! I also now have a current tag with a new SD license plate on my bike, the old Michigan tag expired three years ago.
There was a French group here doing some videography and interviews with people living full time on their bikes, it could be I'll be getting my 15 minutes of fame sometime early next year. Scooter Tramp Scotty set that up, there's about a dozen of us here along with members of his fan club massaging our egos with beer, food, etc. Good times all around!
Scooter Tramp Scotty is one of the coolest vloggers I can think of.
There's a couple of guys here with their own channels, Joe does a good job of it.
Here's the channel by the French folks I met, pretty sure I've ended up with a pair of lifelong friends! YouTube will auto translate if you care to watch. Spent pretty much every evening for a week using various translation methods discussing stoic philosophy.

Things have officially become downright INSANE up here!
Coming back from town yesterday the road back to camp was closed due to an accident, went back and hung out with some folks I'd met and came back a couple of hours later. Turns out a woman died after not negotiating a curve, lost both legs and was pronounced dead at the scenes.
About dinner time we're sitting around and a loud crash was heard then a woman yelled "It was all your fault" A bike crossed the center line and hit an SUV head on. We headed up to see what happened and offer help. Saw two mangled bodies laying in the road, the bike was basically disintegrated and the SUV had a caved in front end. Both people on the bike where already gone, probably dead on impact. Probably THE most gruesome thing I've ever experienced seeing that outcome.
Stay in your lane folks and don't go beyond your skill level. Combine this along with six that died on The Tail of the Dragon during the month I spent there this spring and people wonder why I avoid crowds ..
