East Texas Sidecar Muster May 5-7, 2023

Have my cabin booked, am looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Let the games begin...

Preliminary schedule revised in the 1st post above.

Also, when you register and/or check-in, please let the KOA know you're with the Sidecar Muster, as a discount can be applied at check-in, depending on the number of RV, cabins and tent sites we occupy.

I made campground reservations this morning.  Will be there with my old Ural GearUp.

Cheers,

Dan K.

Just made my reservation for the rally. Looking forward to it

Should suitable lodging not be available at the Rusk KOA, there are two motels a couple/three miles away on Hwy 69 a/k/a Dickinson Drive (but I have no experience with either one):

• Weston Inn     903-683-8383
• Executive Inn  903-683-2326

Also, airbnb.com shows a couple of options in the Rusk area.

If traveling in from the East, or if you arrive at the KOA early, please plan to meet up with Jena & me for lunch at 11:30 a.m. Friday May 5th at the Alexander Burger Company at 419 Cypress Ave (Hwy 204) in Cushing, Texas ( https://www.alexanderburgerco.com/ ) 23 miles East of the KOA via FM343/225.

Anyone recall the Kisatchie TURD back in Spring of 2017? The one that rained on us and we had to navigate the mud to visit the Kisatchie Bayou? When my friend John Strong made his bean soup for our supper one evening? Unfortunately, John passed away Spring 2018.

In his memory, Jena and I will attempt to cook up a big pot of his bean soup over the campfire on Friday evening, May 5th - maybe enough for everyone. We'll try to have it ready 6:30ish. I don't recall which, or where, our cabin is at the KOA.  Just look us up -- we shouldn't be too difficult to find.

Revised schedule (subject to change, of course):

Friday:

11:30 Lunch meet-up at Alexander Burger Company at 419 Cypress Ave (Hwy 204) in Cushing

6:30 We plan to cook up a big pot of bean soup at our cabin, but not sure it'll be enough for everyone

Saturday:

8:00 Breakfast at the KOA

9:15 ±30 mile group Ride to Baugh's Chapel (sorry, no market) then to downtown Rusk to visit the Cherokee County Museum and Footbridge

12:00 Lunch on your own around town

3:30  Games

6:00 Pot Luck Dinner in KOA Clubhouse
