Ken Zittrer has offered to service Mike Simmon's webasto onsite, replacing his nozzle, and adjusting electrodes. Onlookers are welcome to that.
If anyone would like to coordinate something, please feel free to jump in.

Well, we're getting close. I have received emails from a few more of Steve Bennett's guests. Just to keep everyone informed I sent the following email to the non-POG people in our little mini rally:
So, it looks like it's shaping up to be a fun weekend. If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.Quote:
Hello All,
Just a quick note to remind you about the min-rally at ORA Rancho next week. Although we've set the dates as 1/25-1/27, several of us will be arriving earlier in the week. Please feel free to come out as early as you'd like. The only formal planned event (at this point) is a potluck dinner on Saturday evening. We have rented the clubhouse for Saturday evening ($20 per family). This will provide us a nice place to have the pot luck, and a possible wine tasting before the dinner (still working on this).
Please plan on bringing something for the potluck. I am expecting between 40 and 50 people (approx 5-10 kids). Please bring something to share that feeds approximately 8-10 people. If you'd like to bring more, or multiple items, I've never seen any of us turn down food!
For those who like the technical stuff, Ken Zittrer has volunteered to have a 30-45 minute seminar in Webasto tune-ups. Many of us have had trouble with these units recently, and a tune-up is pretty darn easy to accomplish. Ken will be replacing the nozzle and adjusting electrodes on Mike Simmon's coach (probably on Saturday morning), and you are invited to join in.
Since a lot of people will be arriving on Friday after work hours, we elected to not have any formal meal on Friday. We are going to put together a "do-it-youself" ice cream sundae bar on Friday night. Place is yet to be determined, but will most likely be in one of the "slots" we're using.
I have now been told that everyone in our little mini-rally group will get the 50% rental rate at ORA, and you will not need to use your coupon if you happened to receive one earlier. Basic rates there are $65/night, with a 15% discount for FMCA members. We should get 50% off of the $65 rate.
Thanks!
Ray
I spoke with Steve Bennett last night, and he happened to mention the weather for next week out at Rancho. If you're coming early in the week, be prepared for some cold weather, and possible showers.
High temps will be down in the mid 40's during mid week, moving up to mid 50's on Friday and Saturday. Evening temps are below freezing, so make sure your heaters are working!

We'll see you next week!
Thanks,
Ray
Well, the week is finally here. I'm pushing out in a couple of hours, and I believe Ken Z will be leaving the Q shortly.
We look forward to seeing everyone out at Rancho. Please drive safely. Looks like we may be in for a little wet weather.
Ray
Sea Ray, you don't need a class B, you need a Captains license! :p
Yeah, I like the sound of that Captain Ray!
Oh well. We made it out to ORA. I arrived around 230PM and Ken and Janet arrived about 4PM. Just enough rain enroute to make things really dirty!
So far it's nice and quiet out here, but a bit chilly. At least for us southern CA boys, low 40's is chilly!
Ken has some pictures from Q he wants to post, but Verizon coverage is non-existent in the park. I guess I'll let him use the satellite! :eek:
Since we're not sure how many people would be here by Friday night dinner time, we decided instead to host a ice-cream social that evening. BUT, it's really cold out here at night, and the thought of ice cream outside in the cold is a bit daunting.
We just spoke with the owner of the restaurant on site here at ORA. They have been closed some nights for dinner, due to lack of attendance. We asked them if we brought a group of people for dinner on Friday would they (1) stay open, and (2) would they allow us to serve our ice-cream social at the restaurant.
They thought that was a wonderful idea.
So, dinner for those who are interested will be Friday night at the restaurant. Time to be determined, but I'd assume 530-600P would be a good time. They have a nice restaurant, a reasonable menu, fireplace. It looks like a great way for starting our weekend.
So please join us Friday night at the restaurant!
A little update, currently there are 5 coaches here, with several more expected today. Weather shows a potential for rain, maybe even snow this evening!! :eek:
Temps have been high 40's, low 50's in the daytime, and down to about 31 at night!
