One part of our parking area is gravel but if I remember right, the natural area next to it might be to grown up to use for the motorcycle camping demo.
We can ask the rangers if motorcycles could be pushed into these areas for such but we want to respect their decision so as to stay on their good side.
They have been good to us.

Thanks, if it doesn't work out that's OK. I like stating on Ranger's good side

I haven't tried it, but of Cajun brings that extra Tensa stand I'd like to try anchoring one side to the bike to see how it does. I was thinking more along the the idea of talking with people about the different aspects moto camping.

I figure pack the bike up like I'm headed out again and basically just do a Q and A with folks talking about the bike and the different gear that I use on the road and camping. And answering the question everybody asks " How to you get all that on a bike?" Maybe a few stories here and there I should have some ones I'm going on a 9 day road trip two weeks before the hang.

That sounds interesting.
We'll find out if they would allow you to push your bike over to the hammock demo site.
We are considering a new site for the demo but both are close enough to the parking areas.

I plan on going and will bring the extra stand. I don't know if I will be in the Jeep or on the bike. Won't get there till late Friday. Have to work in Chattanooga till lunch. Want to be on the bike though. All depends on if I am coming solo or have a guest.

I can be done with the Tensa stand using the bike as an anchor point.
