Big Dee,
I thought it was small also, but when I looked it up on the VAC rally pages they said they had 56 trailers there. There must be more room there than it seems. I thought I would put it out there for consideration. The web address for the rally info from 02 is http://airstream.net/rallies/02-Delta/index.html

I believe the "Santa Clara Unit" of WBCCI is already headed to Snug Harbor in Sacto Delta weekend of June 12-13? I'm a member, but a bad one (poor attendance..), and haven't actually attended an "Official Rally" yet, as we're still puttering on trailer getting interior redone and adding anti-sway etc etc... May be ready by then for check-out trip, as we're off to Canada and Oshkosh in mid-July, and need a real test before commencing 3 week trip... I'll try to confirm their dates, though "Forum" outing sounds as much fun as official WBCCI event, perhaps funner... If I recal, Snug Harbor real hard to get to from the south, (Bay Area) requiring long detour or iffy ferry ride to get across river..

Cassini Ranch/Russian River is favorite of Vintage Airstreamers for a reason, and as long as it's not flood season, it's a great location..

I'll vote for Laguna Seca. Anywhere south of the bay, and I'm in. One loooong trip a year will do for me, and this year, it's Colorado Springs.

Glad to see a Santa Clara Unit member on here as I wondering if there were any on the Forum. My trusty Blue Beret says Santa Clara Unit is having a rally June 3-5 at Duck Island RV Park, Isleton CA. Did they change to Snug Harbor? Glad to know about iffy ferry trip!

Forum Rally is for Fall sometime before the Region 12 Rally in Los Banos on Oct. 18-24. This rules out Casa de Fruita as the Ren Faire runs through Oct 24. It would be way to crowded and close to Los Banos rally.

I will investigate reservation policies at Casini, Laguna Seca and Big Sur and will keep you posted.

I also see that the Monterey Bay unit is having a rally at Laguna Seca THIS weekend! Anybody going?

I can't but maybe I can escape to visit the rally and check Laguna Seca out on Saturday. (I need an extra day

)

When is the Napa one taking place? I live very close to Cassini ranch, which was the spot last year, but I couldn't make it. Napa is about an hour away, but a fun trip. Is there a local club of Airstreamers that I don't know about in Sonoma county?

It is a rally for all vintage trailers but that means mostly A/S.

For benefit of Big Dee and potentially others, I am indeed member of WBCCI Santa Clara Unit, and admitted to bad membership behavior, since we haven't actually attended a Unit Rally, and aren't joining small group heading for Lansing...

Without restarting whole "WBCCI Value Proposition" thing, Unit has a number of retired persons as members, plans lots of Thursday-Sunday outings that us working people can't join, and so I'm still trying to find event I can join... Newsletters are typed, cut, pasted and mailed, and not much e-mail or e-bulletin board activity in Unit...

Yes, their event is Duck Island, not Snug Harbor, and is "Child-Free" due to ban on children policy following an unfortunate drowning at that RV park. Some interesting dialogue between Unit and National over that one, but we're unable to attend for other conflict reasons...

As for Laguna Seca in October, I'm gonna try, but that's year end at work and real difficult to get away when pressure intense to meet financial goals... At least our trailer's interior will surely be completed by then...

Thanks for the post, John. I pictured the unit the way you describe because I have not seen any members of SC unit on the forum. (Are their any local units members on here?) It is interesting that even with living in Silicone Valley, the SC unit is not online. I look forward to meeting all the units at the Region 12 Rally, to see for myself.

It is also very telling that the SC unit has it's rally at a "No Kids" RV park. Just again shows that these local units are not family friendly.
