The event name, Frosty Nutz is intended to be taken literally. Our first camp-out of the year kicks off the riding season inthe North-Northeast and is usually met with snow, ice and frigid temps. If we were to make the event more inclusionary, maybe Frostbite is more appropriate.<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since I started riding, Frosty Nutz has been a must-visit event. It is the event that gets me to open up my 3 bins of camping gear, clean everything up and do an inventory to make sure there\u2019s nothing I need broken or missing since last year. The time of year when most people start camping is about a month after the last week in April but Yankee Beemers motorcycle club books Wilgus State Park and invites their entire membership to fork over $25 for food, home-brew and camping. I\u2019ve never been on a year that it didn\u2019t snow a little bit and while temps this year did get down to 38 degrees, it was the warmest I can remember.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We didn\u2019t have a campout in 2020 for obvious reasons but even if the health and safety of members wasn\u2019t put first, Vermont closed their state parks for camping last April as a precautionary measure. Since then, we\u2019ve learned that outdoors are mostly safe and the virus doesn\u2019t transmit through touch surfaces, only aerosol and finally, those 2 weeks out from their vaccine are free to roam about the wilderness without masks even in social settings according to the CDC. So, an even with mostly older folks who were vaccinated a month or more ago out in a state park is about as safe as you can be next to doing this via Zoom and let\u2019s all agree that we are not going to be doing Zoom for a very long time.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not going to ramble on too much more. I just wanted to share some photos from the event, share that it was great to see everyone and I enjoyed the time away from the house for the first time since November. Wilgus is only 20 minutes from my house but it was green to break in the camping gear, test out the bike and see some old friends by the fire. I need to grab a few things for this year\u2019s camping season but overall, I\u2019m ready to get going. In fact, I\u2019m camping this Thursday – Sunday in Delaware and I look forward to sharing photos with you all after that event as well.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
