We had a great time! Folks were really nice and there were 6 other rigs, including a 1970 BMW. Hoping to beat the old record of 8 rigs. So close. They had 108 attendees.
Spent 3 days at the rally and another 3 at Grand Lake St. Mary's in Ohio. It's flat and roads are pretty straight for a longgg way.. Did I mention flat and straight? Really interesting to see the gigantic machines harvesting crops. Farms as far as you could see.
We had a chat with these folks. They were in Maine, too! We were even at the same restaurant, Taste of Maine, and never met until this event.
That's Brad Elery, treasurer of Hoosier Beemer and chief cook, the next bike is Bill Russell's, who was manning the registration and other duties.
After we stayed at the campground at Grand Lake St. Mary for a few days of sight seeing in the area, including the Armstrong Air and Space Museum and Airstream Heritage Center. Recommend both if you are in the area. And you can't go home without seeing a 30 foot tall Bigfoot made of wood 🙂
If you have a chance to go next year, do it! We were in the motorhome and stayed at the campground in the park. Very nice set-up.
Thanks for sharing the rally photos. Flat??? Yeah, that area of Ohio and Indiana was called the Black Swamp until the German settlers learned how to drain the swamp using locally produced clay tiles buried under the fields and roadside ditches leading down to the streams.
I was born and raised in the middle of the wheat, corn, and soybean fields there. Getting lost in an August corn field, or watching the wheat tassles wave in the wind are childhood memories.
Thanks for reawakening memories...
Safe travels you two...
@jan-2 What a great place to grow up! We were just amazed at the vastness of the fields. Here's a few for you.
Every time we saw one of these, John would say, "You think we can fit under it?" Didn’t try.
Pardon my ignorance; I have a question. Why is the Hoosier rally in the Buckeye state? After 37 , you ran out of scenic sites? 🤔 😜

Oh, panhead........the 38th Annual Hoosiers Rally took place in North Vernon, INDIANA.
It was after the rally in INDIANA that MJ & John went to Ohio....on their way to home in Pennsylvania.
Now....if a guy traveling around Europe, currently in Salamanca, Spain can figure this out..... 
That is Salamanca, SPAIN....not Salamanca, New York

I'll have to alert my beemer buddy about this event for next year!
Hey MJ, thanks for the kind words and attending the 38th rally ...and helping out! I will publish invite for all of you to attend our 2026 39th Hoosier Beemers' rally in rolling Southern Indiana soon. But for now - pencil it September 24th thru the 27th. Pls arrive early Friday or you will miss out. Friday is a "cook all day". This year I'm switching it up from campfire beans to a big pot of chili to go with our signature gourmet hotdogs. ....To be served just just before the Bluegrass band steals the show.
I still have a goal to pull in more than 8 rigs. It was great to have 6 last year and I hope to see you all back this year. A lot of you know where Muscatatuck County park in in North Vernon INDIANA... Those who don't ...you're missing out. Pls, Come join us.
Hope you can turn-out this year.
Ride-ON!
