Additional Info:
------------------------------
We are headed back to the Bay and they have their own club house now! Unfortunately they can't hold sites for us because they get so busy this time of year. You will need to reserve soon to be sure to get a waterfront site. Our first year here, we had the whole waterfront taken by Heartlands. It was a beautiful site!

Make reservations by calling the number above and make sure to check their website and check out things like park rules and policies. We have had two really nice rallies in this park and now we won't have to leave the park for our potluck!

This is the perfect place to be for Heartlanders who can't go to the National Rally.

There has been a request for a schedule, so here is an idea of what I expect right now.

First and Foremost - Have fun at all times. Spontaneous campfire meetings are encouraged!

More than half of our group are attending their first rally! That's lots of new people for all of us to get to know. Try not to be shy....:D

6/21 Friday Afternoon - check-in at site 57. Non-Member fee will be collected. Be sure to join the Owners Club as a full or introductory member so I don't have to collect a fee from you.
A sign up sheet for volunteers will be available. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Friday around 5 PM - meet and greet with pot luck appetizers. Location determined by weather.

6/22 Saturday around 9 AM - we will have breakfast breads at our site (57) BYOB Please drop off your unopened and unwrapped raffle prize at this time.

We are not gong to sign up for dishes in advance for either potluck. We are always pleasantly surprised by the variety people bring which is part of the fun.:D:D

Free time during the day: Maybe a few will want to go rent ATVs, go to Coos Bay to The Mill Casino, go to Old Town Florence, make a trip to see the elk on Hwy 38 at Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area, or hang around camp and tell each other lies over cold adult beverages.:p
Saturday - All Day: Raffle tickets available for $1 each or 6 for $5.
Saturday Potluck Dinner - Clubhouse. We won't have it all to ourselves, so we will need to make our presence known to the rest of the park by descending as a group with our food and raffle prizes. LOL The raffle will take place after dinner in the clubhouse.

6/23 Sunday around 8 AM - Breakfast burritos in the Clubhouse. Goodbyes to those who must leave.:(

Pre and Post Rally activities depend on who wants to do what and when. I'm not planning any organized events.

Please bring one raffle prize valued between $15 and $20 to contribute to the fun.

Hi Everyone,

We are all set for our 2013 Oregon Rally at Winchester Bay. We made our reservations today for June 19th through June 25th in site 57.

I know June is a long time away and it is the same time at the National Rally. That makes it tough to commit this early. I had to make plans this early just to find a weekend with enough sites to have a rally. If you have been there lately, you know how many people have discovered this beautiful park on the central Oregon coast.

Please call the park and make your reservations as soon as you can. They can't "hold" sites for us, especially on the waterfront side, so early reservations are the only way to be sure you get waterfront and that we are as close together as possible.

Be sure to tell them you are with the Heartland Rally. I've dealt with both Sharon and Rita in planning the dates, so you might find it easier to talk to one of them.

Please post when you make your reservations and tell me what dates you will be there and what site you reserved.

Ready! Set! Go make those reservations!

We are already looking forward to this and we aren't even done camping this year. We haven't even had our new trailer out yet and we can already picture it lined up next to a bunch of you with the ocean in the background!

Hi

Just made our reservation for space 76--room for the dogs. We'll be there a week, June 19-26.

This is a great start! If you know an HL owner who doesn't use the forum, be sure to let them know. You can either send them my email address or give me theirs so we can exchange information.

Please be sure to let me know when you make your reservations so I can keep a list and double check with the park as the dates approach. The people at the park now are not the ones I've dealt with before, and I want to make sure our arrangements are correct.

We would love to see lots of people at this rally! We had 25 rigs at the last Winchester rally and it would be great to match or exceed that this time.

Deb,

I added you to the list at the top. Now if you could just get those pesky little red berries to harvest themselves, you could come to Casey's too. :0)

BTW Everyone, I called and let them know we would be using the meeting room at Winchester Bay. They wanted to charge $200 for a total of 5 hours, if we wanted exclusive use of the room during those times. I agreed to allow non rally people into the room so they would not charge us at all. Once non rally people see a room of Heartland people, they will either run or want to know what we are all about. It's a winning situation for us either way.

Keep making those reservations! We have filled up the water front before, we can do it again!

Hi there - just looking to plan our first trip next year in our new BigHorn - saw that you had the same rig as ours and wanted to say a quick hello - we've still got a year or two to go before we hit the road full time - we're up in BC and it looks as though the Winchester Bay Rally would be only 11 hours from us - a beautiful spot and a good reasonable length first run down to the US! We're just above the border near Oroville in Washington.

Hi bewise860,

Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum and Family. We have a great bunch of people here with lots of information and all willing to share their knowledge when needed.

Think about joining the Heartland Owners Club and attending the rallies when ever you can. You will meet lots of good folks, make friends for a life time and eat the best food there is.

Enjoy the forum and your new BigHorn.

Sorry it has taken so long to reply to this. I haven't been online in a few days. It will be great to have you at Winchester. Looking forward to seeing you.

Welcome to the family of HL owners! We only got to take our new rig out twice before having to put it up for the winter. We really do love it and can't wait to get out again when the weather allows it. Of course, my job has to allow it too and that is the hard part. It will be a few years before we get to travel anytime we want.

Winchester Bay is a beautiful place and we would love to have you at our rally in June. If you can, check the first post in this thread and give the park a call to make your reservations. Be sure to tell them you are with the Heartland group so they put you as close to us as possible. I don't know how full they are getting for June right now and they couldn't hold sites for us because they get so busy.

Hopefully we see you in June.

That is the bad part. There are lots of people who can't go all the way back to the national rally though. We will have a good time like we always have, but we will miss those who don't make it.

Happy New Year!

Its time to start really start thinking about what to do this summer. If you are on the west coast and can't make the trip all the way back to the national rally, come join us at Winchester Bay. I really want to encourage all of our new Oregon, Washington, and California owners and members to come and experience a local rally at a beautiful location on the coast. Of course our people in Idaho and all of the other staes who happen to be in the area are welcome too!

Make your reservations as soon as you can and let me know when you will be here and what site you reserved.

We look forward to seeing everyone at our relaxing event in the little town of Winchester Bay.

Looks like my DW and I are going to be able to attend our first Heartland Rally. We just put in our vacation requests today to insure that we have the time off work. Man, retirement can not get here soon enough! We are looking forward to it!

Kristy,

Yeah, it's official, we are coming for sure! I made our reservations today for Kelly and I, as well as for my father and his wife. We are arriving the 20th and leaving the 25th. We are in site 62 and 63. He is also a Bighorn owner, who at this point is not an HOC member, but hopefully we can get that to change soon and get him into the club :). We are looking forward to our first HOC Rally and meeting everyone!
