TMMR

 The Tennessee Motorcycles & Music Revival (TMMR) was the highlight of our 2025 Nowhere Ride.  Brad and I both agree that it was the best rally we’ve been to!  The annual event goes in the spring at the Queen of Country and Legendary Songwriter, Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.  The Ranch is an awesome setting with lots of trees, a creek, hills, and cool people!

 TMMR is four days of music and motorcycle events that will revive your soul. The Ranch is huge and offers many RV and camping sites.  There is Vendor Alley where swag and related products are for sale.  There are a couple of bars and food trucks. Many events throughout the days are scheduled.  All events are family-friendly.  The venue was packed with folks of all ages.  I was impressed by how friendly, respectful, and happy everyone was at this rally.  I saw zero aggressive behavior.  This was truly a setting to revive your soul!



 Brad was on vacation, spending some time with family in Virginia.  There must have been a lot of alcohol involved because he told me he woke up one morning to see Yogi Bear driving a golf cart through the campground.  I met Brad at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch.  He had reserved an RV site at Honky Tonk Central, a camping location designated for RVs.  He set up his RV and unloaded his motorcycle and mini bikes.  I am happy he brought two mini bikes.  We rode those bikes all over the camping areas!  


 I set up in what is called Camping Area 3 along Hurricane Creek.  I drove my Jeep and pulled my motorcycle on a utility trailer.  I was one of the first campers to arrive in that area, so I set up my hammock pretty close to the creek.  I enjoyed every morning with my feet in the water.  I returned to the creek in the afternoons.  I put a chair in the creek at just the right depth to enjoy the water’s current around my back and body.  A few folks would join me sitting in the water.  Several people floated by on rafts and tubes.  What a way to spend the day!  An amazing camping experience!
