The trip to Brookfield was fantastic! The weather, the bikes, the company all top notch. No breakdowns (although between us we had enough tools to open a shop). Met Sam in the AM in Hawley PA and headed north from there. The usual stop at the Crosstown Tavern for the best cheeseburger around and then into Hancock NY (Helmets on) and North to Brookfield. A few of our regular stops were closed but we persevered. We made it up to Flick's Tavern in Brookfield and then headed to the fairgrounds.
The folks running this meet are the best! Camping and vending are free. My friends Bill and Chicklet fed anyone who was hungry with the best ribs, potatoes and corn on the cob I've ever tasted...all from their own farm (even the ribs). As Bill says "I never eat meat that I didn't name"...it was great! A couple of the regulars were missing but there were some first timers there that I know will be back.
It's not a huge swap meet but we scored some good parts and I actually bought more stuff there then at Wauseon (Giant Swap Meet)...
It was a great way to finish out a weeks vacation!
