Twotoes Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 I don't have an HDT but have stayed at Ambassador many times. Don't know if you already have this on your activity list but there are many wineries in the local area and a wine tour may be something your members might be interested in doing. Just a thought. The office had a brochure with a list of wineries last time I was there.

It was a big hit and will be on the agenda again this year. Thanks for the suggestion though. I am always looking for new ideas.

Chad Heiser Posted January 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 I have been out of town for a little while so I haven't been posting much, but I have heard from several of you regarding rally attendance. It looks like we will have a good mix of first time and returning attendees so far. The range day is already in the works. I am also looking at another wine tasting day, but have not made contact with the tour company yet to set that up. I have a couple of new presenters who have volunteered to give seminars and am always looking for others out there. If you plan to attend and have a topic you would like to share with the group, let me know. It should be a good time for all. If you are going to attend, remember to make your reservations directly with Ambassador and then email me with your planned attendance so I can update my records.

Chad Heiser Posted February 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 The rally is shaping up to be a good one. I have quite a few people who have already made reservations and a bunch more who have told me they plan to attend, but just haven't gotten around to making their reservations yet. If you plan to attend, please contact the park and book your spot directly (the sooner the better) and then email me. We have a good mix of new attendees and returning friends already. I am working on finalizing another wine tour (it was such a hit last year). I also just booked our painting class/art project instructor who has been there every year (also another very popular seminar). If you would like to attend either of these, let me know. There is an additional cost at the rally for each of these events. The wine tour is in the works. I will update that price when I have it. The painting class is $20.00 per student (to cover the supplies and instruction). I will be sending out an email to those of you who have already confirmed attendance once I have the wine tour finalized. I am also considering putting together a seminar on building a trailer testing plug. I have one that was given to me by a previous rally attendee and it has come in very handy for me and several other people that I have loaned it to. We would actually build them at the rally if anyone is interested. There would also be a cost associated with this (for the parts). Let me know if there is any interest in doing this. If there is, I will put a little more effort into sourcing parts to get an idea of what the actual cost would be. I started down this road, but didn't want to get too far if there wasn't any interest. I know they are doing a similar project at the ECR, so I thought I would steal the idea for the WCR. 😎 Quote 2000 Kenworth T2000 w/ Cummins N14 and autoshift 2017 DRV Mobile Suite 40KSSB4 with factory mods, dealer mods and personal mods - now in the RV graveyard 2022 DRV Full House MX450 with customized floor plan 2018 Polaris RZR Turbo S (fits in the garage) 2016 Smart Car (fits in the garage or gets flat towed behind the DRV when the RZR is in the garage)My First Solar Install ThreadMy Second Solar Install Thread & Photos and Documents Related to the buildMy MX450's solar, battery and inverter system - my biggest system yet! chadheiser.com West Coast HDT Rally Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Auberts Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Chad, building a trailer plug tester would be fun and another tool to have and loan is always handy. Roy Quote 2017 Volvo 780 2017 DRV Houston Smart searching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Heiser Posted February 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 I know that some attendees have SXS's and may or may not have them with when you come to the rally. I don't really have time during the week of the rally to add a day of riding, but I am thinking about going out for a ride after the rally is over, before we leave the area. Is anyone interested in tagging along? I'm thinking about Tuesday the 23rd as the day for the ride. I thought I would put this out early so people interested can plan accordingly. For those of you that don't own a SXS of your own, but might want to go, there are a couple of places in the area that rent them. A quick google search can point you in the right direction if you are interested. Let me know what you think or if there is any interest.
