Thanks Paul we will try to make that one just up the hill 639 miles from us. ;D
Dave
It's just a Sunday drive for you! ;D
We'll see ya there and make up some lies! ::)
Looks like this Rally is on its way to being well attended. We have twelve registered and another twelve who have committed.
We initiated advertising for this Rally early in hopes of allowing people to plan their summer and hopefully make a trip to the Great Northwest.
Invitations have gone out to the BC Bus Nuts (Jim Chamberlain) and I would like to invite the GM Club members but I don't see a contact person on their website. If anyone has a GM Club Officers contact information would you please post it here for me?
In conjunction with our Rally will be the 2016 WAAAM Hood River Antique Airplane Fly-In. This is an excellent event and planes from all over the Northwest fly in for this event.
Take a look at your summer vacation plans and see if you can schedule a trip to attend this Rally. We have room for 70-80 coaches and would really enjoy having all attend.
Doug Red Rider Mike O'Rourke was the Wagon Master of Quartzsite and GM's this year but said he won't be doing it next year. He might know who you can get in touch with. He is in the members list on this board. HTH

Is the $200 rally fee the same whether you get power hookup or not? And, is there a refund if one registers but then can't make it to the rally (assuming X number of days/weeks in advance)?
Dave,
Thanks for the info and I will catch up with Mike O'Rourke to see who his replacement is.
Linda,
The $200 fee is the same. First 35 to register have first choice of power. There will be a full refund if we are notified within seven days of the Rally.
I don't know if you are familiar with the Columbia Gorge but it is an absolutely beautiful part of the Pacific Northwest and this is going to be a Great Rally. It would be great to have you attend with us!

Doug,Larry Hall is president of the GM group if you need his number I can PM it to you he is in that area most of the summer time. It's to soon for us to make plans because we don't know when our Idaho trip takes place this year (kids) but we are trying to make plans to attend.
Doug -
Sent you a PM. . .

Only 780 miles for me! :)

Well, a little over 3,200 miles from our home base in southeast Florida, but we'll be traveling and will just have to see how far we've gotten as the time for the rally approaches. We'll be a "maybe" for the rally, sounds like fun!
Clifford,
Please send me Larry Hall's phone number. I would appreciate that. Also, it would be great to have you attend our Rally. Keep me posted. Thanks!
RJ,
Got your message and when I receive your registration form I will confirm back to you. Thanks!
Linda,
It would be great to have you join us so keep me posted as we get closer. Thanks!
Clifford, My friend do you have Gods number? you have everyone elses', LOL ;D ;)

Fellow Bus Nuts,
Registration for this Columbia Gorge Rally is starting to take off. I have received six registrations in the last week and we now have 21 coaches signed up.
I have had several calls from interested individuals that are or will be traveling in the NW and I expect to pick up a couple of them.
We also recently received four new club members and there are several club members that have not as of yet registered.
Look the Flyer over and give some thought to joining us for this event. I think we will have a good turnout.
All of you are welcome!
Thanks,
Doug
To all that are going,, in the center of the gorge is a great campgrounds called "Peach Beach",, >>>Dan
Mike O"Rourke 702 355 2601
Larry Hall 520 648 0168 He is usually away from Tucson during the hottest summer months,, The last I heard he had trans trouble and towed it home.>>>Dan
Larry and Carol on the road I think they are in Oregon now traveling with Bill and Arlette and another couple last I heard
Fellow Bus Nuts,
It's just a little over two weeks until Rally time in the beautiful Columbia Gorge.
I have 31 coaches registered for this event and I am expecting registration forms for another 2 or 3 in the next couple of days.
This is one last call for any of you that might be interested in joining us for this gathering that begins on Thursday September 8th. This is going to be a "Great Event" and one that will be remembered by those attending.
If you are in the Northwest or somewhere on the West Coast and would like to travel in for this event give me a call and I can register you over the phone.
We have buses coming from up and down the West Coast. South Dakota, Canada and Idaho.
Breakfast and dinner are catered Friday and Saturday and we are having a grilled steelhead dinner on Friday along with some great entertainment.
The BCM Magazine's own Gary Hatt will be joining the Rally and will publish an article on this event in an upcoming magazine.
You shouldn't miss this event!
Thanks,
Doug High

Things are not working out for us to make it, I wish we could be there. It would be the perfect place to see what Gary Hatt would look like in a fish walk ;D
Can I have your fish. Dave
