Hi guys, That Dam Rally has had an amazing booking, but the Pre Dam Rally is still open. Make sure you try Cindy for cancellations from the non bus nuts at the main rally and talk to Lee at lake Mead RV park, about the pre rally, Van and I hope to see you at the PRE Rally, tom, lvmci...

Hi, That Dam PRE Rally is 30/31Oct at Lake Mead RV Village, the That Dam Rally is at Willow Beach RV park on the other side of the Dam on Lake Mojave 1/3 Nov, with a Convoy between the two Rally's. This will be the last Dam Rally.
   Speak to Cindy for the main rally at Willow Beach area "C" 928-767-4747. Speak to Lee for the pre rally at Lake Mead RV village row 8/9 7022932540.
   In April the rally at Willow Beach was filling up fast there may be cancellations, Lee told me there were still spaces at Lake Mead RV Park for the pre-rally. And there is the dry camping  area next door that Clifford likes...
   But park anywhere you can get a spot in either place, neither one is so big that you can't walk to the get-togethers, there's a campground with beautiful trees next door dry camping no hookups, tom, lvmci...

Just a heads up.  Lee is no longer working at Lake Mead RV Village but by mentioning the "Dam Rally" a folder was quickly found and reservations completed.  Jack

       FWIW;
           As of today,  Cindy said the whole place is booked up.  They are even taking reservations for next year. Looks like
           Willow beach is becoming popular.  8/20/19

Hi all, if anyone is still interested in coming to that damn rally to the main rally the site D3 that Matt is not able to attend will be available I would call immediately. Speak to Cindy for the main rally at Willow Beach area 928-767-4747, tom, lvmci...
Title: Re: That Dam Rally 2019
Post by: lvmci on October 23, 2019, 08:11:50 AM
Hi All, it's that time of year again, for That Dam Rally! The PRE Rally at Lake Mead Travel Village (you know it takes a village) and the Main Rally at the cute little Lake Mojave Willow Beach RV Park. And the Fun CONVOY of 24 miles, about a half hour across the Dam Bridge...
     So let's start a list here for what we might bring to the pot luck.
For the PRE Rally Thur Oct 31:
   I will bring; roasted chicken
                       veggie plate
                        Chips
                         ice cream
For the main Rally for the Sat 02Nov evening potluck:
   I will bring, roasted chicken
                        veggie plate
                         Chips
                          ice cream
*** Please list here what you might bring, to avoid duplication.***
I will bring a table for the food Buffett,
   At PRE Rally we will set up the gathering place in front of the Italian Greyhound at the center of 8th st
   At the Main Rally we'll  set up on the center hill to gather,
Tom, lvmci...

Post by: madbrit on October 23, 2019, 06:42:25 PM
Due to health issues, will not be attending the Willow Beach part of the Rally.
We may drive up for the potluck and say Hi.  See how things are going on the day.
Space # C07 is the one we had.
Text me at 928-7one5-6655 or call 928-5six5-4608 to let me know you are interested so I can tell Cindy who wishes to take my spot before I release it.  I have to give at least 24 hours notice to avoid a full price penalty.
Btw, is there going to be another event at Willow Beach or Lake Mead next year or is this the last one?

Hi All, well it's going to be terribly cool to be at That Dam Rally and PRE Rally, as you can see, 69° is the high, Van is trying to find his Army Parka, I'm charging my electric jacket batteries, my electric gloves and electric underwear.! I should be toasty! About the only thing good about this Las Vegas style blizzard is the busses will keep their cool, dealing with those hills around that Hoover Dam. lvmci...

Hi Brian, bus nuts are fun to be with!
Some wanted changes, others liked it the way it was.
Most pitched in to help, some pushed harder than others.
There are a lot of elements to a rally.
It's time to end That Dam Rally.
Van and I brought our version of a NRG out west, established it as an alternative to a formal rally. And had a 7 year run, that's good enough for me, lvmci...

Jack it's always a pleasure to share a camp ground with you and Lorna. Sorry you didn't make it to Willow I rode down with a big box full of BUBBA burgers just for you ;) and heard about you'all needing to skidaddle back home, hope all is well.

Note the Lake mead deal is not over at least for Cheryl and I. We have always gone down there on Veterans day weekend since 2008 and that tradition will continue. So as it was before the Dam Non Rally even started we will be there next year if anyone is in the area, come on down and join us!

  Safe travels.
