Sat here all afternoon in a mall parking lot, not knowing why we were here or being told anything about when or how we get to attend the rally we all paid for. We were told this evening that we were here for the duration of the rally we would remain here and shuttles would start running Friday morning. From where not quite sure but hoping to actually get to the rally tomorrow. I feel refunds are in order for many of us.

Did you go to the Rally website? They are posting updates there and have an explanation.

Check the posts in the Rallies section on here?

The problem here was that no one gave an explanation...they handed a sheet of paper to each driver...said follow the camper in front you..it was hours before any explanations were given...all of this frustration could have been avoided with a simple "we're sorry for all this confusion...we are sending you to the mall parking lot, but are working on a solution..we will let you know as soon as we have a fix in place"People in charge definitly dropped the ball on this one...weather report was known yesterday. Worst part about this was that the volunteers were left to deal with all the frustrated rally-goers. When our friend called to inquire about a refund (they will not attend any part of the rally) the girl in the office was actually crying because she had to deal with so many frustrated people...who again...were not given any explanation at all.

I think the volunteers that are out there are doing the best they can with what they have to work with. Nobody could for see the amount of rain that came down. And to try and move the hundreds, if not thousands of rigs would be horrendous. You have been served weather lemons, make lemonade. Jmo Macktee

The first Redmond Or. rally was the same with a wet and muddy parking area in the fair grounds, and everyone I talked to that went was disappointed as you are now. the next ones they were prepared for the unforeseen and there was gravel hauled into that area and worked out great. Mother nature has spoken for now. Just be patient with the Rally planers and enjoy to the best of your ability. Use the busses.

Does anybody know where visitors can park cars and get to rally?

Be glad they are parking at the mall. I was at a non-Good Sam festival several years ago. Everyone had to be hauled out by tractors on Sunday.

Call the security number on the rally's website. They can probably tell you.

Hello pa traveler,

Car parking is across from entrances 2 and 3. There are signs there to direct attendees to car parking.

I hope this helps,

I must say that we are doing the best we can. The weather was unexpected and the team is doing all they can to make it work.
