New Discussion-Late Spring So. Cal. Rally

[Bob&Patty]

Ok guys and gals, lets all look at the apparel site Apparel and find some things we like. Post your thoughts and lets try get get some ordered before the next rally. I thought it would be nice having something on the shirts that says "1st Socal Rally 2008". If you have any other ideas, post them. Bob

[Bob&Patty]

Well I want to start off saying we all had a great time at our 1st rally. Now we need to plan the next one. At the last rally there was several people that suggested going to Pachanga. I also was thinking about Vail Lake, as it is only about 5 miles out further that Pachanga. Most people thought that April would be a good month for it, warmer and maybe drier. So after you read this, post some thoughts about the places and the dates. I could put in a poll if you all would like. Start looking at you calendar's and lets start posting on this new "Discussion" thread. John has closed the 1st thread, so everythink must now go on this one. Bob,Pat, and you know who

Count me, the wife and kids in for anything in April...

[Bob&Patty]

OK Hawk, how about some input.Got your drive way done yet? Bob

[grandseahawk]

Well, not quite yet. We counted on taking out 40 cubic yards of dirt for the pad and driveway. We ended up taking out 110+. It was suppossed to be 5 ten-yard dump trucks worth...ended up at 11, and we still have 6 yards to get rid of. And, instead of 35-45 yards of 6 sack concrete, we have to put in 60. Concrete company now needs an extra five days to get that much since they have to line up 5 cement trucks 20 minutes apart. This is turning into a bigger headache than I thought.

The good news is that we will probably pour and finish about the 17th or 18th of March and be picking up our Cyclone at the same time. It will be OK parked in front of our house for a few days till the concrete cures.

So, anyway, April would be great for us. I have never been to Pachanga...I don't think it existed when I was a kid visiting Vail Lake. Vale Lake is very nice...especially when it's not too hot like in April and May.

Rock On...

Dude, thats a lot of dirt, you live on the side of a mountain? Holy moley, thats a lot of concrete. I hope you hired someone to help finish it. Bob

Hey bob, the first socal rally was wet and wild lol, and i learned alot and met alot of new friends, so it was fabuloso. count us in if its before april 20th or so as we are going to Cancun on May 3 for 2 weeks for our annual timeshare on the turquoise ocean. Destination makes no diff as long as they have 50 amp hookups.

OK heres the scoop, I made some calls this morning, and this what I found out. I had to give Both Vail Lake and Pechanga a tentative date to hold spots for us. I told them the 12th for weekend of 11th-13th. For pechanga, I am the wagonmaster, so all money has to payed thru me. I have to give them a $100.00 deposit, sign a contract to hold the spots. I have about 3 weeks to do this. The price per night for 10 or more is $42 or $52 for less than 10. There is a $5.00 charge per dog and you pay for it at the gate when coming in. All the reservations will be under my name. If no one shows, I am libel for the deposit after the contract is signed and sent in. Vail lake is a little more relaxed about there CG. Both these CG,s are starting to get booked up. The weekends really dont matter to Pat and I. I do know that some people would prefer to do this early in the month. I will try to put the links here so you can look at the 2 CG,s. http://vaillakeresort.com or http://pechangarv.com Bob
