PACIFIC GROVE??? I will look forward to seeing your trailer in town. I live in PG, its small enough I am sure I will see you. (And maybe at Laguna Seca too).
Repodog...I was in PG last year about this time...closer to September, maybe...during that Cherry thingamajiggy (old time cars at Laguna Seca). I only went because they said there would be some airstreams there. There were - but only a few. Anyway, while in PG I saw a couple of airstreams in driveways. Could one have been yours? My friends live just on the beginning (PG end) of 17-mile drive. Are you near there?

Just returned from the Northwest including my yearly stop in your neck of the woods, Gresham. I LOVE Oregon! Are you selling your home to go full-timing? I would be very jealous.
Anyway, my "fingers are crossed" and really hope you will be able to make the rally. And invite your PG friends to dinner on Saturday night. Plenty of room for all.
P.S. Anybody that gets to live in PG (like Repodog) are lucky devils. Got to be one of the most gorgeous, special places anywhere!

Hi Big Dee...I will certainly keep you posted on my attendance at the rally. My plan is to join the full-timing crowd but as I've never spent much time on the road - and the fact that I will have to find work here and there - I am open to the possibility that I may hate it or may not be able to afford it or...... But it's time for a change and I might as well make a big one
I will definitely invite my friends to dinner on Saturday night. Maybe they can camp at Laguna Seca, too, in their little SOB motorhome???
See ya soon ... hopefully!

Sorry, but work uncertainties just make it impossible to reserve this far in advance.. I'm certainly hoping to bring our Condoluminum down from Sunnyvale, or worst case staying with relative in Monterey... Can you furnish local contact like cell phone at some point so we can ge togeher if I have to come down mid-day Saturday and leave early Sunday...

p.s. "Air Conditioner/Sprinkler Unit" by Coleman finally confirmed to be bad gasket seal (after 16 years.. Replace It!!!) Unit now passes hose spray test, and condensate going down the tube...

John, I can be that local contact person. Live in Carmel, and work for the City of Monterey. Send me an e-mail, or PM, when your ready for some phone numbers. Jeff
I expect many people can't make a reservation til the last minute but I don't have to turn in a "final" number til October 19. I like that policy. And even after that, I am sure there will be spaces available for "drive-ups", maybe not in same loop. So hopefully you will be able to make it.
I was thinking how nice October sunsets must look from those Laguna Seca hills...

We are getting closer! Since it looks like we will have a small group, I am going to sponsor a Tri-Tip BBQ on Saturday night. My buddy is a BBQ expert and cook-out competitor so we decided that we will do up tri-tips on Saturday night for everyone. I'll throw in baked potatos, green salad, garlic bread and a campfire, and we gots ourselves a great meal. BYO dessert and drinks and we will have fun on Saturday night! How's that sound?
Fall is here and since I usually camp on the coast in the fall- I am itching to go! Can't wait.
I've invited some friends of mine to join us, some with SOBs, some with tents. So invite anyone who might be interested in a Fall camping weekend on beautiful Monterey Bay. Plenty of room for everyone! It's going to be fun!

About how far is it from Laguna Seca to Marina (the city)? We found a hotel there for $67/night. It's close to Monterey and we want to see the aquarium, it's been a while and they have a white shark there right now.
When we arrive at the campsite, it will be in the later afternoon...Big Dee, I'll email you our cell # as the date gets closer and we'll ask you what we should bring to that we can drop by the store and get. We can't arrive empty handed!

Ingrid, Marina is about 15 minutes from Laguna seca. PM me our send me an e-mail, I can give you my cell number, as I seem to be the closest contact person. Jeff

Great News Ingrid! So happy you are coming even though it won't be with your Airstream. Good idea to get a room in Marina, it's plenty close enough to both Laguna Seca and the Aquarium. I would love to see the shark too. I'm a teacher and my class is planning a fieldtrip to the aquarium in November. Can't wait!
I am thinking the BBQ should be set for around sixish so everybody has the day to play. I'll PM you my cell also in addition to Coastalview so you can get in touch if need be. As for as bringing something, I think a dessert would be wonderful. And if the group suddenly grows bigger, I may ask for more help but I don't see that happening.
I so much want to go camping NOW! I just hope the usual beautiful October weather in Monterey holds for us. I usually spend October in my AS on the coast and the weather is awesome. Absolutely my favorite time of the year on that bay! But I do remember one halloween weekend it POURED! The poor kids were rained out. But keeping positive thoughts, that was only once and it won't happen this year, right?
Can't wait to meet everyone. Friday is October 1st! Wow!

Hi all you NoCal'ers....Things were moving along quite nicely up here in lovely Oregon; I sold my house (it's in the process of closing), I finally got a tow vehicle, and then VOILA!, I lost my hitching/towing mentor Can you believe that that may be the thing that prevents me from making the rally at Laguna Seca????? So if any of you know anyone who can help out this damsel in distress in Portland, send 'em my way!
Still hoping to see you all at the end of October. (Hey, Ingrid, my daughter lives in Alameda.)
