We are pleased to announce that Curtis Trailers (http://www.curtistrailers.com/) will be sponsoring our 2017 WA chapter rally. They will have two or three new Bighorns on display and are funding the entree for the Saturday night potluck.

We have dealt with Curtis Trailers since buying our first trailer 12 years ago (our 2014 Bighorn is our second purchase from them). We attended several of their seminars and have had almost all of our service performed at their Portland facility. Both the sales staff and service staff have been great to work with. So, we are pleased that they are the sponsor for this rally.

We will update the first post in this thread in a couple of weeks, after we have spent 3 more days at Silver Cove. We will get tee times at Lewis River Golf Course for either Thursday or Friday as well as checking out more local restaurants and local attractions.

We just visited Silver Cove for a few days, met with Manya Oleson (group and event coordinator for the resort) and saw the newly completed lodge. It has an outdoor barbeque and smoker. They were building the outdoor pizza oven as we left. We plan to take full advantage of all the facilities and equipment, having a meet and greet on Thursday evening, a build-your-own pizza night on Friday and barbequing or smoking steak and chicken for the pot-luck entree on Saturday.

We will have a raffle on Saturday night after the dinner. Those of you who wish, please bring an item to be raffled valued in the 15 to 20 dollar range.

Those of you interested in golf, please let us know so that we can reserve an adequate number of tee times. Lewis River Golf Course (http://www.lewisrivergolf.com/) is a beautiful course about 40 minutes away from the resort. We will contact Lewis River Golf Course on August 24 (earliest time to call) to get tee times for Thursday the 7th.

We're getting excited to kick off the Fall rally season for the West Coast.

We were happy to find out that Tom and Lorraine are able to come, after all. That means we will have a bass fishing guru on site for anyone who'd like to know more. Silver Lake is the premier bass fishing destination in the west side of Washington and Tom was a tournament fisherman back in the day.

So far, we have heard from Mike Bromley, Sonja Nisson and Paula & Candy Hardt for golf. With John Kramer (unless he's ill or has something broken) and Doug that will make 6. We have plenty of room for more and there is no requirement that you play well. The first post in this thread is correct as far as the date (thank you Paul). We will try to get early tee times (nine-ish)at Lewis River for Friday, 9/8. They only allow scheduling two weeks in advance so we won't be sure about time until the end of next week. There is also an excellent course in Longview (Mint Valley) and that will be our backup plan. We will be playing Friday morning!

Doug: I think Tom Chinn is interested in golf. I sent him a message about it.

Well.... I was retired. There has been a last minute resignation that leaves my friend who happens to be the principal in a real bind. I agreed to go back and substitute for several weeks while she tries to find a good math teacher to fill the vacancy. At least I will be subbing in my old position until that happens.

The bad bad part is that we can't do this rally. I need to be at school for the first week so we have to cancel this. I told them I would not cancel out of the regional so we will see you there.
