Petaluma KOA Trailmanor Rally '09

After reading all the posts on the So Cal Rally thread and since it appeared no one was stepping forward to organize a rally either in So Cal or No Cal, Andy and I have begun to negotiate with Petaluma KOA for an '09 rally. There will definitely be one, most likely as it appears now in early October. Several attendees last year said they would enjoy returning in '09. Details will appear here soon together w/an e-mail to all last year's attendees.

This will leave Spring open for the possibility for something in So or Central CA or possibly even in the fall together with ours. Take it from us as well as several posters on the So Cal thread, if you want to have a So or Central CA rally, someone--as we did--has got to select a site, negotiate the terms w/a campground and book the rally.

We realize that if So or Central CA has a rally either this Spring or Fall our effort this Fall may be somewhat smaller. So regardless of whether we have 5 or 50, TMers are great fun to be with.

I know Lars has already started talk with Campland on the Bay here in San Diego for a rally. I have given our name as folks who will show up. But I'm not sure of the dates.

We congratulate Lars for his efforts and hope you have a successful well attended rally.

I'll put it on my calendar. The cat's been fine after her surgery so hopefully she can stay home with DD while we attend the rally.

As of today 23 TMers are registered for the TM Rally at the Petaluma KOA on Oct 2-4. This means both rows alongside the rec hall are full and KOA has comped the full rec hall for our exclusive use.

KOA has extended the deadline another week or more for any really last minute TMers to participate in what is shaping up to be an exciting weekend.

Well we washed TM two week ago and because it's 500+or- miles we will wash when we return. But refer is on (0800) and water is ice (1430) and following advice on this board. TM is open and using propane so fan is running. Our grandkids live only 4 or 5 miles from the KOA so we will be in and out of the rally. But look forward to seeing folks we met last year.
PS: Custom RV told me he would have a vary sharp pen to give me the exacet price I need to get a Elkmont. LOL
