NorCal Destinations Poll

Hello,
I have not attended one of the trailer events. Does it require any specific affillation? What should I expect the event to be like? How many usually show up? Is there any organized function happening concurrent with the event? Do they allow Airstream motor homes and trailers to the attend the same event?

At the last Rally the only affiliation if any was being a member of the Forum. 27 showed up at the last rally. Trailers and a motor home comingled. The organized function (business meeting) lasted about 3 minutes. It was painless.

As to what to expect.. Well a lot of nice people visited and checked out each others Airstreams. There was a potluck. Two guys who knew what they were doin put on a rivet removal/installation seminar and they also put an awning on a trailer. A member with a 3 letter named tried to break the record for the most people in an Airstream. Margarita balls showed up for the potluck. A movie might be shown after dinner. It will be trailer related. Everyone is free to do what they wish. It is a very pleasant laid back and fun experiance. Lots of humor and nice people.

Try it and you'll like it. It's like camping with a family you like.

Even if you have never met any of these people, if you have been posting on forum, you feel like you already know them when you do meet them. It's fun to put a face with the screen name.

29 Palms fits in nicely with out plans to spend the last 3 weeks in January and all of February someplace south where the days are a bit longer, the likelihood of rain is lessened, and the weather is a bit warmer than here. Count us in. We might even stay a week at the reduced rate to make up for the 9% tax. Don't forget the 10% discount for Good Sam Club members.

Is the proximity to the airport that I see on the Google aerial map a problem?

Very light traffic of small planes. Now with the Marine base close by you will get passing helicopter traffic from Gunships to transport but they tend to stay to the North.

Hi Milo,

I sent you a pm..did you get it?

We'd like to attend but it would be a long hike for us. I must admitt I am confused about why you call it Norcal?

Has a date been set?

Look on the Rally page or in the off topic section for "NorCal Winter Raly in 29 Palms." Its 1-12/15-07

The unofficial schedule seems to be Summer in Northern Ca. Spring and Fall in central Ca. and in the Winter we head for the warmth of So. Cal. I think we are calling any rally in Ca. a NorCal rally.

I'm going gangbusters on my rig with everyone's nag--uh, encouragement from the last rally.

I'm going to spend time and money getting some serious progress done on this baby, so we can finally use it. Have fun, drink an inch or two from the M-ball for me, shoot a potato for me, etc. We'll be at more of these very soon and won't have to worry about who's driving back to "the cabin"!

Look on the left side of the home page and click on upcoming rallies.

Sign up for the one in 29 Palms. We're gonna have a ball and you should be part of it! Check out the thread there is a lot going on there.

I think the next two NorCal Rallies after 29 Palms/Joshua Tree (in spring and summer?) are actually planning to be held in Northern CA.

Such a big state...so little time!

Yep, Once a year the NorCal is held in SoCal. We go where the weather suits are clothes.

Spring and Fall we will be in Central Ca. and in the Summer we will be in Northern Cal.

So, driving back down 1 today from Ft. Bragg, I stopped at the Albion River campground just south of Mendocino to see what it was like, if it looked like something I would want to suggest to others. Having never stayed at an RV campground, I don't know what they are typically like... with that glowing introduction, read on. This campground is right on the the river, full hook-ups, clean, virtually deserted now (Dec.) However, it is very cool, just about under the only remaining wooden highway bridge in California (it's HUGE). More importantly, it's just south of Mendocino and Ft. Bragg, so there is tons of stuff to go see.

This would be a great place July-September or Oct.
