I'm curious about lodging. I snagged a room at the Super 8 on the field.
Outrageous prices, of course, and I also wonder if I'm missing an essential
part of the experience by not camping. A couple of years ago at Sturgis, I
decided I was done with camping--but that was for reasons of my back &
sleeping on the ground. Aside from my back not being what it was 20 years
ago, I enjoy camping, so perhaps a good air mattress would solve my problem,
and that will be easier to pack in a plane than a motorcycle. Any thoughts
here?

I understand the bad back and camping, however with todays air
mattresses, I
think you have some great alternatives. Not to mention the tents that
can be erected to be able to just walk in.
