Hi All, that Dam Rally is a few months away, but spaces are going fast, rows 8 & 9 at the main Rally at lake Mead RV park, and boondocking next door, 2/4 Nov.
Do to popular demand, a pre rally will be held 31oct/01nov at Willow beach RV resort on the other side of the Dam in Arizona on lake Mojave, about the same distance from the Dam as the Mead RV park is in the Nevada side. Ed and Janet have rented a party pontoon boat for the pre Rally with An excursion to the bottom of the Dam, where Gary Hatt has boasted he will duplicate his famous scale of the Grand Coulee Dam, on the face of the Hoover Dam, permits have been denied but apparently that's not going to stop him. News crews have been alerted and drone cameras have been hired. The subject about clothes optional as in the coulee incident, haven't been addressed but who knows, will Gary only be wearing his hat? lvmci...

Not a big deal...already done by Chevy Chase in Los Vegas Vacation. Watch the high tension wires though.lol

Chessie4905. You mean that our hero and mentor Gary has been upstaged by some hack actor like Chevy chase? I guess he'll just have to loose his atomic submarine in Lake Mead if he is to hold his head up among the daring--can't wait! Jack :)
Haha
Is the contact information for reservations for this rally secret?? We may be able to attend. What do we do now?? ;-)

Hi All, just 10 days till That Dam PRE Rally! Excitement is building and mother nature is so pleased you bus nuts are bussing to her Colorado River valley, she's providing extra nice weather for your visit. Highs in the mid 70s and lows in the 50s! Nice days to spend at the lakes, of course Nevada & Arizona have low humidity so do bring liquids to keep your lips lubricated, lvmci...
Glad the Pre-rally is coming together so nicely. Any updates on the "post-pre rally"? We are looking forward to that. Jack
Hi Jack! Thanks, post pre rally is just peachy! And there has been mentions of a post-post pre rally - rally! That would be doubly peachy, maybe as good as peach cobbler! I'm drooling at the thought of watching Lorna bake a peach pie in her solar oven, that would be peachy keen, tom...look at the weather forecast for Lake Mead RV park, the sun will look like one big peach in the sky!
Thanks for lining us up some warm weather for the Rally
Melbo
My pleasure Melbo, my granddaughter has the ear of mother nature!

Wow! That place looks like the surface of the moon. Must really suck in peak of summer months.
Looks great! Wish we were there... We'll come down after New Year. Hopefully see some of you this winter.

On your way down bring me a bucket of Canadian honey and I will pay you and buy dinner lol Sonja starts to worry when the Canadian honey gets low it must be habit forming
For sure Clifford. Looking forward to a visit.

chessie, it's actually very nice, well laid out, realitavily new power, bath house, wash/dryer area. The convoy exit from the mesa, where the RV park area is, to the marina down below is all graded, stripped of natural plants, but well paved. Next year there will be a newly paved access road from the new I-11/US93, avoiding the wash outs and smoothing things out. The natural Mojave plants are all around the RV spaces, lvmci...
Thanks Tom for the picks, its always a beautiful area probably see you all at the Q again this year if my dentist would just stop sending those bill things. :)
Those last pictures look much nicer. If I would have followed post from beginning, I'd have seen the better background pictures. I mostly only quickly glanced just to remove the "new" flag as it may as well be on the moon to travel there from Pa. Maybe someday.
Let's see...5000 mile round trip, 1000 gallons of fuel average with oil use also. $4500+ food.💰💰💳💳💳

Next year I've been thinking about transitioning, with the pre rally at lake mead RV park, for 2 days, then with a part only one other rally has in the US, a convoy, to Willow Beach for the main rally for 3 days, of course anyone can stay more days.The convoy was a lot of fun, got great reactions from everyone, from the video and for passersby. I think I want to incorporate the convoy, distinguishing our rally. Keeping the actual rally and pre rally to 5 days total, some busnuts have expressed a want to go to town, Boulder City or The Hoover Dam Lodge ( where I met Nicky) and had concern about the distance, so I would like to keep lake mead rv park for a bit more till people get used to the distance not being that great.
01nov friday thru 03sunday at willow beach. Those dates would allow people to do either, if they can't make one or if the location is better for them, still allowing for the convoy. So let's settle on 30/31oct & 01/03nov, pre rally & dam rally.
tom...
Thanks Tom. Sounds good to us----of course I'll have long since lost track of dates and times by then so a reminder late next summer might be in order. Jack
