Exclamation NorCal Rally, April 28-30, Casini Ranch

Hey all you NorCal ralliers. Okay, I know everyone has been wondering where this thread has been. Getting itchy to get this rally going, huh?

Well, Casini is pretty busy during April but I managed to get 20 full hook-up sites for the weekend of April 28. Now that I have made the reservation, I can't wait. I remember what a fantastic time we all had last year and it was such a beautiful spring weekend.

So who wants to be be first on the list? Let's rally!

Casini Rally List

Jeff- if you, Kathy and Colin were not next to me the world would not be right. I wonder if there will be as much mud for Colin to ride through this year? I'll never forget...

Ingrid- It's going to be a big celebration once you show to a rally with an actual trailer! Hope you are making good progress and bring some pics. Can't wait to see you guys again! We missed you at Pismo.

Tinsel- I think we agreed in Pismo that the spring rally would be at Casini and the fall rally at Lake San Antonio. Casini was simply fantastic last time and they were extremely accomadating to us as a group. Casini does not require huge deposits and lets everyone pay themselves upon arrival. This is the way I perfer as I am unwilling to fork over huge deposits and payments as most parks require for rallies. Casini fits perfectly. As for the date, Easter is late (middle of April) so they were pretty hard pressed to find 20 sites together. So I took what we could get. Hope it all works out, Tinsel, cause I always think of that cornbread. MMmmm.

Aaarrrgghhh!

Dan-

Despite retiring in 2 1/2 weeks (YEAH!) I have committed to conference in San Diego Apr 27-29... The Condoluminum isn't going to make it to the river this year, which is major bummer... Hope you sell out all 20 spots, and more... Hope to see you in Salem, though I suspect ambiance will be different... (We will have new Margarita Ball just to see how WBCCI react

I just sent you a pm and I see this post. Big bummer! You and Dianne will be sorely missed. Glad that you will now have time to do some traveling in the Condoluminum. What about a mini rally in reno in early August?

I could handle another..

There were several other options discussed at various stages around late evening fires, as I vaguely remember.. I know Uwe is leading the charge to San Felipe in Baja in March, Cassini will take care of April.. Maybe we should do a voting thing to see about:

1. Lake Tahoe?
2. Reno/Carson Valley
3. Sierra Foothills/Gold Country/Auburn/Columbia
4. Feather River/Oroville Area

Timing could be late July or early August, after excitement of Salem worn down...

As we all know, summer reservations can be real tricky on weekends, especially for a group. But last summer, I stopped at Boomtown in early August and they had a lot of open spaces. Easy access from I80 and easy weekend trip. RV park is nice with grass/tree strips, pool/spa, and casino fun. So I think it could work there. I think Lake Tahoe would be tough to get the spots.

Options...

My wife and I are interested in attending the rally, which would be our first ever with our new 26FB. Unfortunately, Rosemary must be in Yucca Valley all those days. So.....

I've been thinking about alternatives. Today, we had to take the AS back to the dealer because the only system to malfunction, the microwave part of the oven, needs repair/replacement. We picked up the trailer at Napa Sea Ranch where we store it and hooked it up to the Durango for the first time ever. Much easier than we thought. Also, I realized that I can hook up solo. It simply a matter of getting out and looking at the progress.

Also, Jeff was astute in remembering that we also have a VW Westfalia Camper that I use primarily for solo fishing trips. That would also serve, although it would get a bit tight with both Marley and Chelsea, our two dogs, aboard.

So....I'm going to give more thought to joining the rally. When is the cutoff date?

Peter- That's great that you can make it. Can't wait to see that '64 Globetrotter! Too cool!

Mike- Really hope it works for the new 26FB because I am dying to see one. I always hitch and unhitch solo- no big deal. But I am also partial to Westys as I have camped many a day in one. Either way, I look forward to seeing you if it works out. I don't need to confirm final numbers until mid-April so plenty of time to work it out.

and the list grows...

Ray- I didn't see that you snuck on to the rally calendar list. Awesome! I was wondering about you. I was just about to send you a PM. Glad you can make this one as Pismo was a bummer that you couldn't make it. Looking forward to seeing you and Girl Friday and hearing more geocaching stories!
