Wayne and Nick, Thanks for the reply!
Not sure if anyone has kids they're bringing although they're certainly welcome. Ours are grown, so we just have the dog.
Because I've not received much response to activities, I will gather the particulars on each tour and give everyone the info and maps so they can choose what they want to do. We may have better luck organizing activities once we are all there.
I know Kristy and Mark are coming in early in the week and I will be there Friday afternoon. DH has a conference in Sacramento and will be home early afternoon. Although I'm confident in my abilities to hitch and pull the trailer, (I pulled horse trailers for quite a bit) I'm not so sure I could back it. I'd rather let him put the first dent in it.
When you call the park, ask for Bonnie or Jody and tell them you're with Deb's group. As per Kristy, I'm not sure the weekend manager is in the loop about our group yet.
Looking forward to meeting you all.

Ray and Bev, we had a blast at our rally, even with the rain. The whole gang is hoping yours goes as well. There was some talk of joining forces at some time. I wish someone would get something going in central Ca. Did you get a banner yet? If not talk to Jim about it. We had everybody that came sign the back of it. Just make sure that it is dry. Our banner came straight from Heartland. Look at the Socal post and you will see what it looks like. Bob, Pat and the Socal gang

Bob & Pat,
saw the pics, looks like a great time! I've been following the SoCal posts to learn from what you guys did.
I haven't received a banner yet, I'll check with Jim. No takers for Central CA yet, so we may have to join forces and do a rally. I'm game if you are.
Slow reservations so far, but it looks like that was what you dealt with too. Earlier posts looked like many were interested. Did you have to PM them to remind them to register? I won't have to turn the spaces back until the week before the rally, but a little concerned if we wind up with more than 10.
I'm looking forward to the rally, even if it's only three miles from me. We took the BH out for Presidents weekend and had a great time.
I'm really bad, all I want to do on the computer is look for places to go instead of work. I think we're practicing for retirement.
Any rally tips you can offer will be gladly accepted. Thanks for checking in!

Snow is melting!!! Mark has the Glide Ride on the trailer and the JT stabilizers on the front. He just needs to get them on in the back and we'll be all set. I can't wait for it to warm up enough and get the trailer de-winterized so we can get out. Only about 3 weeks now....

Kristy,
it's been great here as well. Friday was in the mid 70's. Our trailer is home so we can finish adding a few things and after going to the scales, removing a few things as well.
I have a reminder letter I will PM to our earlier responders about their reservations. There were 11 that said they would come, but I only have reservations for 4 so far. In a week or so, I'll bring up the food issue and see what consensus is. We should be OK no matter what the weather is, as we have use of the community room for pot lucks, etc. I'm really looking forward to the rally.

Norcal Reservation Reminder
OK folks, I had 11 people say they were coming and only have four reservations so far. I will have to turn the "saved" spaces back after the 15th. Please, please get your reservations in. The phone #'s for the park are posted on this thread in an earlier post. Once you do your reservations will you please either post it here or PM me? Thanks!
Also looking for suggestions for food. Do we want to do a pot luck on Friday because folks will be arriving at different times? Any ideas for Saturday? Help please!
Thanks,
Deb

I vote for an informal Friday with maybe beverages around a camp fire or something like that so people could get set up and maybe circulate through other people's campsites. Saturday we could do a salad, bread and dessert potluck and have everyone bring the meat they want to cook for themselves. That way those who have certain dietary preferences/requirements can fix what they can eat.
Of course someone out there might have a better plan and that's OK with me too.

Kristy, your idea sounds good to me too. There is a grocery store in Shasta Lake, about a mile down the road, so not like we'll be camped in the boonies with no food or no way to get something we run out of. In my experience we never eat half of what we take and my pantry is stuffed to the brim. The history lessons about the Donner Party must have stuck too well.

I would be more than happy to accompany you to Nellos. LOL
I can also bring all my Italian friends. We cook and serve for fundraisers that the local Sons of Italy do. Working one this weekend. We are not Italian, just all of our friends are.
Nellos is wonderful. Probably some of the best Italian food I have had anywhere.
Ray will be out of town until early Friday afternoon. If you want a local native tour guide, just give me a call.
We are debating on taking the trailer up early to the park, I can hitch and drive, but I'm not so sure I can back up. I have lots of practice with horse trailers, but none with the fifth wheel. And none recent, either.

Noconwud,
Welcome and thanks for letting me know. Please make sure to make your reservations early so we can all be located together. We haven't seen a Cyclone in person yet, so look forward to checking yours out. Or maybe I will, and make DH stay home lest he want one.
Check this site for updates as I'm sure the posts will be flying as it gets closer.
