My wife and I needed a little break from many issues. Also been wanting to give the Unigo a 2 up test. Boy did we. Lots of switch backs, middle of a bicycle road race, hot springs, gravel, some 2-track, and plenty of mountain scenery.

These guys had a really cool setup, the bikes rode up front of the camper body.

A word on the Unigo -

Two up, you really DO NOT know it's back there. The added weight of the pillion slows the handling down enough already, so much so that the trailer is insignificant.

We love it.

Looks like the GoldWing & Harley are pulling big trailers.

John, thanks for sharing. Everyone had fun, and it's amazing what you can fit in 5 cubic feet of storage!

Looks like CCR will be the first time I use our Uni-go, but that's OK.

Hey Brett,

We were unable to squeeze in the time to go to the campground you suggested in TN. With only 24 hours to work with, we tried out a new place for us, Campire Lodgings, between Asheville and Weaverville. Real nice campground without a lot of crowding on the tent sites. Prices are high but it keeps the rif-raf out and the grounds nice. The access roads are all gravel, but no big deal. All photos are from within the campground. We took the real long way 'round to get there and even longer way back home through Hot Springs.

We'll hit Eastern Tennessee soon.

Are you able to make it to the tech session this Sat.?
