washington state truck camper rally- june 26-29 2014

a couple updates for the rally...

for those who have signed up for the rally already, be sure to check for an email from me asking a couple questions.

question one is: how many kids are attending with you? this is for us to gather enough items for a kids craft.

question two is : are you interested in doing a tour at grand coulee dam? most likely saturday mid morning time frame but that is not confirmed yet. i am gathering information on a more accessible tour than the basic one. i hope to get a confirmation on that by the end of the week.

rally stats:

holding steady at 16 rigs signed up.

rig coming the farthest is from new jersey.

if you still want to join there is still time. sites right next to us might be available but are a first come first served. let me know if you wish to attend and i will do my best to get you a site next to the group.

We buy the Discover Pass every year begrudgingly. What is really cool too is to drive down into the basin of the Dry Falls and look around.

I am working on a more specific itinerary for the rally. I have had to make a couple changes. the caravan to dry falls looks like will have to be scratched. at least as a group thing. seems that the little pull off viewing area is requiring a discovery pass or a $10 fee to park there. I don't remember that being a case in the past. not for the viewing spot. that's too steep of a price for those without the pass to park for 20-30 minutes.

a caravan to the grand coulee dam would be fun during the day on Saturday. in fact it is even a shorter trip than to dry falls.

I will post the update very soon

thought id post a picture of the area we will be at for the rally. yesterday we climbed steamboat rock and had fantastic views of the area. steamboat rock is about 6 miles south of the resort. the picture is looking from steamboat rock towards the resort.
yes the sites are now a first come first served but at this time there are still sites available to join.

I setup my reservation today for the rally with the resort.

today is the last day the sites at the resort will be held. after today it is first come first served.

I went through the list of sign ups with the resort. seems there are 2 people who have not made a reservation. those people were sent an email by me today. so if you signed up for the rally and you did not get an email today from me...then you are good to go for the rally.

tomorrow (march 31st) is the last day that the resort will hold sites aside for the rally. there might be some available later but no guarantee.

jeff...yeah...it looks like the area you first circled was spring canyon. a nice place to camp that is part of the national park system. id go back there to camp again.

Only a couple more days till April 1st, to get a guaranteed site with the group if anyone else is on the fence about joining in. Bump for Rich.

Any golf tee times set yet?

Last potluck at Lake 5 Resort By Glacier, we did the garlic mashed Yukon gold potatoes.


The lady at the resort says counting us, there are 14 TC's registered.

your picture of the locations is off. it is right accross the little bay from the golf course to the resort...maybe 3 tenths of a mile as a bird flies.

it will be great to see you again, its been a couple years.

You are correct Sir. Fixed the image. The golf course is right there by the resort across the bay.
That other camp area was where you had a small rally last year wasn't it?
