BC Airheads Midway Campout
Description
(Submitted by George Dimion, BC Air Marshall)
BC Airheads will be gathering at Midway BC at Frank Carpenter Campground. This is an open event to anyone interested in Airheads. Camping is $10/night.
This will be a social event, spending time with the bike guys again. There is good German beer in Greenwood, a 15 minute ride away. The small community of Midway has a few restaurants. I will again try to find a caterer for 2 meals. Possibly McMynns food store can help with this.
I will do a tech talk Saturday on why my bike engine destroyed itself. Vibration cracked the oil pickup that ate most everything else. I upgraded to the latest high amperage single coil and the compatible controller, I can explain some of what BMW has done over the years.
Other than tech, no other activities are planned, this is a gathering, especially after 2 years of lockdown.
Location, google Midway BC. Travel down main street, turn right before the bridge into the campground and down to the far end. Look for the BC AIrheads flag.
After the gathering, I will be riding up to Nelson to spend a few days and then on to Nakusp, for the Horizons Unlimited Rally. I will be the volunteer coordinator for the event.
Description
This beautiful campsite is also known as Midway Waterfront Park and it is located right beside the Kettle River in the heart of Midway.
We reserve the group campsite area on the west end of the campground. There are flush toilets, hot showers ($1/short shower or $2/long shower) and several RV sites as well.
There are also great hiking/biking trails across the river with great views of the surrounding area.
If accessing Midway on Hwy 3, turn south at Florence Street which is the main turnoff in town. Five blocks south you'll turn right (west) on Fifth Ave. (Just before the bridge) You are entering the campground. Continue to the west end to the group site.
If coming from the south going through the Midway border crossing, just follow the main road until you get to a stop sign. Straight ahead into the campground.
