SuiteSuccess Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Just received the updated reservation list from Kim at Deer Run RV resort. We already have 37 folks that have made tentative reservations. She is in the process of improving some of the shorter sites in our loop by lengthening to accommodate us. She is also going to add sites by the shower facility. If you haven't made a tentative reservation and think you might attend, I would urge you to do so at the link below. Be sure and mention you are with the East Coast HDT rally. I am expecting this to be our largest rally to date and look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. I am including the link for the rally registration also. Any questions, email me at ecrcarl@gmail.com. http://www.deerrunrvresort.com/ http://eastcoasthdtrally.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/2016-East-Coast-HDT-Rally-Registration-Form-2pg.pdf 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

Jack Mayer Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Carl, next year I expect to see you break the National Rally attendance record!! The ECR is in an ideal spot for this event - location wise. But I guess you will have to find a new venue if you get over 50 units....

SuiteSuccess Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks Jack. Fortunately I have been working with Kim (owner of park) and she already had contingency plans for expansion beyond this year. It's like everything economically driven and our rally is making it economically feasible. Her plans were to have a pavilion up and running in the back loop but felt that the money would be better spent on upgrading sites and adding more sites which she is doing. Gail & Steve do a marvelous job with the National rally as you well know and I expect both rallies will grow as our way of enjoying the RV life becomes more popular. My hopes are the West Coast rally will flourish also and then we will have a venue for just about everyone without extensive travel. Now just get a Canadian rally ? 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

Lights Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 We also beat you to South Texas been here since 12-1-15. Staying in Weslaco at Ranchero Village Mobile Home & RV Park. We did have a Luncheon at Retrama Village in 2011. Jack & Mark headed it up and most of us drove our trucks to show off to each other and anyone that wanted to look. I know we had a good time. It would be nice if we all could get together again. Jack & Mark served Hamburgers & Hot Dogs and everyone brought a dish to share and we all chipped in on the meat bill. 07 630 VNL Volvo 16 Smart Car 2017 DRV 40KSSB4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 As someone said here one time, our plans are set in Jello. Susan has to stick around until she's satisfied that her mom is okay after an operation to remove skin cancer on 1/21, then hopefully, we'll pull out. I'd like to get to the RGV by the 25th. We have never been to that area. We have no idea what the attractions may be, other than warm weather and new friends. We also plan to spend a good bit of time in the Big Bend area, for some motorcycle fun.

Jack Mayer Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 That's where we're at Lights. Rumor has it that Jack may come in this year. Mark is here, had breakfast with them earlier this week. Bill, unless something happens we will be there around the first week of Feb. Or so.......For at least a week, perhaps two.

rdickinson Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 A Canadian Rally in Calgary might be a good one !!! At Gregg's shop! June and July are typically our Monsoon season, on the other hand there is the Calgary Stampede in early July for 2 weeks. Lots of RV parking at the Mcmahon football stadium parking lot. Not sure about inside. They boondock but I'm not sure if they provide a big generator. A lot of the Vendors park there. Banff is only an hour away. Something to wrap your head around is there is something called a Stampede breakfast. These are free breakfasts put on by businesses, churches, banks all over town. Yup, free. Just source one, walkin, grab a plate and strap on the ole' food bag. Sausages, bacon, waffles, pancakes, eggs, coffee, tea, juice. Kids love it. Avoid buying the kids cowboy hats with the whistle unless it is for some elses kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPL Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Carl Is there a schedule of events for the Rally? I just made reservations for the week and TDW would like to know what will be going on. We made the Va. Beach Rally in 2010 in a 550 Ford. We have been towing w/a 1998 630 we bought from Bob S. in Minn for almost 5 years..I just retired in Sept so we hope to be on the road a lot more. We live in tidewater Va. I thought I saw a schedule but i can't find it now. Thanks for any help. We are really looking forward to seeing the people I've been reading about.
