Nice! We will leave the SFBay Area on Saturday morning to be in Pueblo on Monday. About 1500 miles in 3 days.

We are leaving Tracy California in May 15 heading up to Seattle area for a few days, central Wa for a week or so, then down to Grand Junction by way of Boise until a few days before the rally.

sure. But you are crossing the Rockies after all on the 70. Vail pass is high, but very very doable with our trucks and rigs. You will be on a 4 lane highway with lots of other vehicles- some big and slow, some not. No matter how you get across you will always have to navigate high passes and lots of turns- just depends on your choice. No tight turns and small roads on the 70

Good points

Stayed at the Grand Junction KOA on the way back from the Vegas National HOC Rally.

Nice place, but nowhere near the highway, and kind of a PITA to get to.

And got lost the next morning trying to get back on I-70, despite having the GPS unit.

Grand Junction KOA is right next door to the fair grounds, if that helps locate it.

I am thinking about the Elks Lodge in Grand Junction, have you ever been there?

James Robb State Park, Fruita Section is nice. Just off I-70 on the west side of Grand Junction. But it's a good idea to arrive early. It's pretty common for incoming campers to ignore the reservation slips at the campsite and just pull in anywhere they want.

Camrose, Alberta rally after Pueblo - anyone?

Nancy and I have just made plans to attend our first Alberta rally following the Mountain Region rally in Pueblo. I know Bob and Christine are going to Alberta after Pueblo. Anyone else considering it? If so, consider discussing your plans here on the Alberta rally thread.

John! Ludington is our favorite Michigan city.. spent a lot of time there over the years.. Michaels downtown for the best pan fried perch anywhere! Oh, also House of Flavors for the best Cherry or Apple cobbler! They don’t have both the same day so have to go back...

Just a reminder of the golf outing on Friday, June 8th. Location TBD. We currently have (8) signed up to play.

If you are interested, please contact me at jdfishing@comcast.net.

Reminder that this is a non-rally sponsored event, therefore you are responsible for your green fees. Those signed up are: J Kramer, Paul & Candy Hardt, Sonja Nisson, Lydell & Pam Wall, Jim Kelly, William Haynes.

Thanks and looking forward to a great rally and some Colorado golf.

We still have plenty of room, but as the rally draws closer, I will need to CONFIRM the number of players and secure the appropriate number of tee times. Sometimes, it can be difficult to add players at the last minute, so, if you are interested, please sign up early.

Looking forward to a great rally, great golf and seeing old friends and making new ones.

Regarding RV Detail at the Rally:

We are a few hours away from approving a new vendor for the RV Detailing.
Our previous vendor, Peak Detail had to bow out as his insurance will no long cover
leaving his fixed facility to conduct remote detailing work. Randy our Rat Team member has secured a new vendor and
once we finalize the pricing, I will make the post. Everyone who has signed up will still
be on the list and instructions will be posted.

Thanks for the interest in this service and this new vendor is rated very high!
