My wife and I are going to do the Muenster ride and spend the weekend in our RV, assuming that our newest grandbaby doesn't decide to come a couple of weeks early.

Looks like the nearest camping option for our travel trailer is the Winstar RV park. Any other recommendations?

Well I had plans to do Muenster this year, but there is a Cub Scout campout that weekend, so I will be doing that instead.

Warning: The 100k is only 60 miles. I had to ride around Muenster for 15 minutes to pick up an "official" 100k.

We've stayed at Eisenhower State Park before for this ride but it's not exactly close.

Eisenhower State Park would be more driving that just coming from the house. It's 2 hours to get to the state park and another hour to Muenster vs. 1.5 hours from the house to Muenster.

We will probably end up staying at the Casino or just getting up early and going from the house. Just thought it might be a good opportunity to utilize the travel trailer that we bought last fall and have only used twice while making 4 or 5 payments.

Neat idea. What casino?

Winstar casino just across the Oklahoma state line. They have an RV park that is $25 or so a night. I think we're going to head up Friday afternoon, hit the casino a bit and then do the ride on Saturday. Then hit the casino again after the ride or the outlet mall in Gainesville.

We stayed at the hotel at the casino when we went to see Howey Mandel. Very nice place but not cheap. If I recall it was $159 a night. There is another cheaper place down the street but we could walk from the hotel directly into the casino without leaving the building and we just stayed one night.

Terrie and I may take the Seavo up for this one, although the hills are daunting...
