SoCal Mini Rally March 4-6, 2016

Dreamscape · February 02, 2016, 04:05:11 PM

There will be a bus gathering in Southern California on March 4-6, 2016.

Some of us will be arriving on Friday March 4th and leaving on the 6th.

Those who wish to attend, please contact the Office at East Shore RV Park 1-800-809-3778. Ask to be put in Section B as A is already filled up.

This is a non club based get together of bus conversions. Buck Trout on our Facebook page had the idea and has worked to put it all together. You can visit our group page here.

Bus Conversions International is the group name.

Nothing is planned other than a meet and greet as you arrive and during your stay. If you can't spend the weekend, spend some time with us anyway. If you don't have a bus yet, that's okay too, just come and have some fun.

Gary Hatt will be there to represent BCM.

So far there will be Silver Eagles, MCI's, Prevost, Flxible and one Scenic Cruiser in attendance. Others may show up as the word gets out.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Hi;
Looked at the RV park's web site and only found it is in San Demas
someplace. How do I find driving instructions. Did not see an
address either. With an address I could pull up a google map. It
is pretty close and can make that get together.

Hi All, East Shore RV park is within Bonelli park, the shore is an earl resorvoir above the Pomona fair grounds, on I10 get of at fairplex, go up the hill. At the top of the hill is a stop light turn left, towards horse corrals, as you come to a gate to the park, turn right, go further up a hill crests near a spa, then down the hill, you will see park and lake, stayed there many times, lvmci...

Hi RJ, The weekend before I'm doing the red carpet show and staying for a couple days maybe on the ocean, sounds like fun, altho commuting down the I10 to Hollywood is no fun, tom...

Dave5Cs · February 03, 2016, 06:23:50 PM

Tom I agree. If we didn't have to drive in LA I-10 ever again it will be to soon.

This from somebody who has to deal with the traffic around Sacratomato, which is almost as bad as LA nowadays.

Dave5Cs · February 04, 2016, 02:04:54 PM

RJ, I know right except being Semi retired I don't have to be in it that much anymore.
Now funny because Mamma said so are we going? It's generally me talking about it. So we will be there also. I told her heck I want to just go out for a month but we have to be back the following Tuesday. We will be there leaving Roseville on the 3rd and rolling in the 4th leaving to go home the 7th. Just hope we don't run into Mr. Hand in San Dimas!...lol

We're looking forward to a local gathering. Honeysuckle Rose, our little bus conversion is excited about meeting some real buses.

Our friends, Jeff and Cathy and their grandson will be coming in their S&S though I'm trying to get them to move up to a bus.

I made reservations for us this AM, but the campground folks didn't seem to recognize the group name-----

See you all there! Jack

Dave5Cs · February 04, 2016, 02:35:30 PM

We made reservations also tonight and they said B is all full so we are in C section #48 last one on the water. See yas all there.

Dave & Doreen Walker and the 3 Cats and yes 23Lb Larry will be there too.

That sounds great.... because the location is very close to me!

I am actually storing and working on my bus right around the corner in La Verne. Is it OK to have a looky loo come by to meet some of you and see what has been done on some of the coach's in person?

It would be my girlfriend and I coming and we would not want to be a hinderance. The timing is perfect because we are just finishing up our flooring and will be looking to do a roof raise/interior work in the coming months, it would be invaluable for us to see examples in person.
Please let me know if inquisitive eyes and ears are welcome (I would bring the bus but it wouldn't be worth it to see it all gutted out!).

jav9956 · February 04, 2016, 08:19:37 PM

One more thought.

If looky loos are OK what time would be best to attend? We only have the weekends to work on our bus so we try and maximize the daylight with bus work. Of course, we will work around any times that are best. As I have never attended something like this I don't know if timing is really an issue or not.

Thank You
