Here's some thoughts
I'm not interested in a solid 8-hour ride there so an alternative would be a faster route to the fun roads then ...
someone else play with it a while.
Big Bend Campground
Reservable - The River Loop sites and the Double Campsites are reserveable. Reservations can be made
online or by calling (877) 444-6777.

Two things... my niece is flying in from Ca. those dates to visit with the family. I'm not intending on seeing her but one weekend out of the two. However, I need to find out what her plans are before making reservations and saying I'm definitely in. So I'll let you guys know.
Secondly...are you guys wanting this to be an xt style trip or a strom style trip? If it's going to all be doable on the strom, I'll take that. Otherwise I'll putz along on the xt (may have to switch out gears so I can get above 50mph on the DAMN thing though
). Either way, (if I can get free from family stuff) I'm not going to trailer to ken's. I may not be fast on the off-road stuff, but my ass can handle the ride on either bike.

My original vision was a Strom/KLR type of ride - but I will put street knobbies on for the gravel - I have a set of MT-21s for the spare rims.
We can always split the group in 2 and let the ADV Motard guys go their won way and meet at the campground.

am fine doing gravel for however long on the strom, and short durations like hawbottom, but if a majority of the ride was going to be gravel / dirt / hawbottom style roads then I'd consider the xt over the strom.
