Memories of Moab, Utah

. Five years ago today- the Class "B" Rally
was held. On Saturday Night (October 4th) we gathered for a pot luck dinner and held a dog show contest. Our Dandie won first prize.;)


Sunday - heavy rain storm in the afternoon. Drove to the Bar M Ranch
(parking lot was red clay and a real joy to remove from the van)-
and we witnessed a double rainbow.

The food & show were both very enjoyable.

The names I remember are few now. Julie & Chico - Abbey - David (who
made the fire pit).I believe there were 3o or so "B" on hand.

Oh, how I hate getting old and forgetting names.:o

Len & Rebecca & Mac Duff
  • It's been that long? I was there. We've been having several socials since. The last was just in Council Grove, KS last month and several of us continued on to Moab again.

    Where we all came from at that Moab social.


    The Bs.


    And of course...
  • Wow! I was amazed by the distances people travelled for the gathering!
    What do the blue dots represent?

    LOVE the shot of the Bs!

    Thank you for sharing!
  • I didn't create the map so have no idea why the blue dots.
  • We were there 5 yrs ago, and just returned from another visit. LOTS of changes, most not for the better we thought.
    Several of us were at the Moab brewery 2 weeks ago enjoying the spirits and camaraderie. Also telling tales of our recent experiences after the most recent social
  • We made a 5-week+ trip out of the Moab B-Rally. Our route below. Great trip and B-Rally.

  • There has been an established RV.net B Rally for 10 straight years and B11 is planned for Lake Monroe in southern Indiana next May. That information can be found here:

    The similar less structured B Socials with many of the same cast of characters that have gone to RV.net B Rallies has been organizing when someone just picks a date and site and says come. I've tracked those as best I can and this is what has gone down. Note the theme of spring and fall. Mainly dates easier to book a campground.

    There are other groups more manufacturer specific that have been having rallies as well and there have been a lot of impromptu very mini B rallies that have gone on. We have attended a couple of those in Minnesota.
  • We all do get around, don't we? We also just returned from a short trip to the Moab area, with longer stops in Colorado on the way out and back.

    I'd be remiss here not to point out it was juliev who organized and spearheaded the B Out West Social in Moab back in 2008. :)
  • Don't forget folks, there is a Sticky with all the Class B Rallies, and Socials at the top off the Class B home page.
