Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it last year but was able to attend this year. I’ve never even attended a bike event, rally or poker run […]

The first year I had the Geriatric Gypsy I was lucky enough to attend three festivals and multiple camp outs. The first festival was the John Hartford Festival in Brown County, IN.
