All,
Jean and I will bring the white wine for all...I am not a cook as Mello and Harry and Ken can attest after Kerrville...but I do throw a heck of a wine party...we are there Friday and Saturday nights...don't pass it around but I starting working a job until next summer...all the best..
Bluevost and Buster stayed in this park earlier this year. It is in the north part of mission bay close to 5. I do not know how far that is from LaJolla...maybe that will work for you...plenty of room...back in to the water...
I'm not certain but I think that this park is closed. It was a 5 star RV resort IMO, and it was demolished (or is going to be demolished) to make room for condos! It had really nice landscaping and was right on San Diego Bay next to a marina. Check it out on Woodalls online or just google it.:D
If it is open give it a try. It is a little south of Mission Bay RV park, but it is much nicer. If my memory serves me correctly, both parks are about a 30 minute drive to LaJolla.:)
Edit: I just checked and it is open. chulavistarv.com
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick note to update you on the status of the mini rally at Rancho. It looks like we could easily have 20 coaches there the weekend of the 25-27th. Many of us are arriving earlier in the week, should you want to come earlier.
We are pre-planning ONLY a couple of activities.
Saturday night we want to host a pot-luck with everyone. Warren and Kelly Jo have volunteered to bring enough pulled-pork to feed the bunch. Ken Zittrer and I talked yesterday and felt we should complement this main course with some BBQ chicken and maybe hotdogs for the kids.
I'm looking for volunteers for various other meals to join. Rather than specifying who HAS to bring what, if you have something you'd like to bring (your own specialties), let me know and I will attempt to coordinate. It looks like we will have between 40 and 50 with somewhere around 5-10 kids.
Because January at Rancho can be cold (altitude is around 3000 feet, I hear), it was suggested that we rent the clubhouse for the night. That will give us a guaranteed warm place to host the potluck, even if weather isn't the best. The cost to rent the facility for the one evening is $350. We figure that if we charged $10 per adult ($20 per bus) that this would more than cover the cost, with some maybe left over for Friday night (more later). This letter is a request to make sure that's OK. Ken Z. has already requested the paperwork to reserve the clubhouse, but it's a $250 non-refundable deposit, so we don't want to book until we've heard from most of you. I am assuming that $20 per coach is not going to break the bank! Please let me know if this works for you.
We also thought that most people will be arriving on Friday, so we didn't want to schedule any dinner. But, we thought it might be fun to have an "ice cream social" a bit later on Friday evening. This would be an open-bar ice cream bar with fixings for milk shakes, root beer floats, banana splits, sundaes etc. Hopefully that would be fun. If we have extra monies from the room deposit, we would apply it to purchasing the fixings for the ice cream social.
We're not planning a bunch of technical seminars which are typical of a POG rally. However, Ken Zittrer has indicated he'd be willing to do a 1/2 - 3/4 hour seminar on the Webasto heating units that most of our busses use. This was a seminar out at Santa Fe, NM in 2006 by Mango Mike, and was greatly received.
Other than that, possibilities in the area include:
* golf
* tennis
* swimming
* biking
* hiking
* shopping
* wine tasting (several wineries close by)
Well, as the time gets closer, we're getting excited about going. When you have a minute, drop me a note (rdavis@cox.net), and let me know:
1. when you are arriving (along with number of people)
2. what you'd like to bring for the potluck
3. confirm that $20/coach is OK for room rental
Thanks,
Ray
Tuga,
As far as I know, Chula Vista is still there, and doing fine. It's a nice place to stay. I stayed for 1 week while attending a trade show in San Diego last summer. Marathon just had one of their rallies there just last month.
I wasn't aware the park was in any danger of being closed down.

Hey Mike, Ken and I were talking about getting a local winery to do a wine tasting Saturday evening, prior to our dinner, but if you'd like to take on this part, that would be great!Quote:
