Additional Info:

So much to do in Colorado Springs, we have added one day to the Rally! Come join us Wednesday through Sunday. You may stay longer or shorter, just make your reservations accordingly.

RESERVATION PROCEDURE:
1. Call the resort at 1.800.248.9451, ask for Betsy, (although anyone can help you), tell them you are with the Heartland Owners Club, and place your reservation for the dates you wish to stay. There should be a 10% discount per night for the group.
2. Mail a check for $10 to hold your reservation to "The Al Guy", Al Schlafli, 801 Sirius Dr., Colorado Springs, CO 80905. Your check will be deposited shortly after receipt. Please include model of RV, and length. The Colorado Chapter paid the campground a $10 deposit per rig up front. Your $10 check, payable to "Al Schlafli" will repay your $10 deposit paid up front to the campground.
3. Be prepared to pay the entire fee for your stay to the campground (less the $10) by August 11, 2013! The Park has had issues with group cancellations (we assured her we have never done this), but this is their no waiver policy.

Cancellation Policy: Up to three days before your reservation, full refund LESS $25.00. After three days, refund less one day's stay.

If you look at the map of the Resort, we will be staying in the 'S' loop, lower left corner of the map. Yes these are all BACK IN sites, but wide sites and lots of room to park.

There are so many things to do around Colorado Springs! If there is interest, we will organize a trip up Pikes Peak, America's Most Famous Mountain. I personally worked up there for 15 years, my son works there as a Manager now. Possibly organize a split trip by Cog Train / auto if there is interest. Late afternoon/evening trip to 7-Falls, to see the falls by day and night. Possible trip to Cripple Creek for gambling. Free trips to Garden of the Gods, Air Force Academy, shopping in historic Manitou Springs (perfect for last minute Christmas gifts)... SO MUCH TO DO!!!

There will be a raffle held during the rally, for a VuQube 1000, a portable satellite dish that works with either Dish or DirecTV.

You will not want to miss this RALLY!

If we are calling the RV park to make the reservations, why aren't we paying them direct? I assume they will take a credit cards and apply the group 10% discount as well...yes or no?????

The reason $10 is being paid to Al is because the Colorado Chapter had to make a down payment to the Campground in order to "secure" the sites we were wanting. Since Al is the official "wagonmaster" he will collect the needed $10, along with your rig information (which was requested by the campground). The rig info will be turned into the campground and the $10 will be deposited back into Colorado Chapter's account. The campground will assign each rig a specific site (in the group area we will be in) according to the rig's length.
I hope this helps...if not, don't hesitate to ask:)

Please refer to post #5 for answer to first part of question...as to the second & third questions...yes, they will take credit cards and yes, the 10% discount will apply...I would certainly double check what the amount is, minus the $10, for the number of days you will be there.

FYI: In the July 2013 Trailer Life magazine, page 67 there is a brief write-up for the Garden of the Gods Campground, titled "RV Resort Renovation".

Are there still space available? My DW and I live in Denver and we will be working Wednesday thru Friday but we can commute so we can at least spend the evenings with the group and then have all day Saturday and Sunday. Of course, all of this is based on our new Landmark being delivered on time :)

We stayed here three years ago with two of our grandsons and loved it! It's a great place and pretty central to all the local attractions. I'm sure it's even better now with the renovations.

Wish we could come...

Just a reminder to folks, less than two weeks left to make your reservations at Garden of the Gods RV Resort (1-800-248-9451, ask for Betsy)! No wildfires, no floods, Colorado Springs is green and beautiful after the recent rains! And the wildflowers!

Hope to see you there!

No problem Al. Sorry we're not going to make the rally. Kathy is taking her folks on a trip and I'm stuck home getting ready to leave 9/16. Going back east to check out the fall colors with three other couples.
