Havasu Signups Feb. 13-15

[Ray Davis]

It is indeed Dale. There's a website that generates these maps, you just click on the states visited. This one contains any state I've driven through in my three buses.

Unfortunately, although planning on going through Nebraska on that last trip, due to the window leakage (which got fixed), and bad weather approaching, I took a more southerly route home, so I didn't make it to Nebraska or Colorado, which I had hoped to do.

I've still got a lot of "white" in the northern states, as you can tell.

Here are the list of events the best I know.

Friday @ cocktail hour, by special request, Kenny Z and Margarita Boy with the all pneumatic blend-O-rama will be blending up his specialty. This will likely take place on somebody's pad, but iffn it gets cold, windy, or rainy,,, I happen to know somebody with a key to the facilities!

Saturday Breakfast @ 0900, Golden Corral, 1550 S PALO VERDE BLVD. From the resort go South on 95, turn Rt on S. Palo Verde, an immediate left onto the frontage road, Rt into the first parking lot. You will see it. Call (928)680-6509 if you get lost.

Saturday 1400 (via Brian E) round table discussion on bus stuff for all. Brian E, Harry, Dale, Steve & others officiating.

Saturday 1700 BBQ potluck, phase III clubhouse, charity auction, music, rabbit roping contest & shuttle launch

Sunday mid morning sometime, **Shooting** out in the desert. Bring your favorite shootin iron and lots of ammo for it. If you have targets or stuff you want to shoot at (not humans) bring them along. Don't forget ear/eye protection.

Sunday night fireworks. As already discussed we will need volunteers to stake out our territory in the stands, normally done by taping down blankets or whatever and leaving one body there to make sure they stay that way. The gates are open @ 0900. Ray Davis doesn't know it, but he just volunteered to coordinate the seat saving effort, maybe folks could volunteer for a few two hour stretches or something ?

As already mentioned we all need to be in the Park by 330 at the worst from what I hear. They will close the hwy and the road into the park as they see fit. It will be a mad house! You will prolly want to bring some vittles for dinner, or buy some from vendors on site.

Check the weather, it could get cold. Better to be WELL prepared for all in your party.

Other than that we will be hanging out and having fun.

Also keep in mind AZ is on MT. Standard time, set your watches ahead one hour.

We washed the bus today and will be heading to Havasu Tuesday night. Should be on the pad Wednesday night. Warren, I have your almond wood in the bay and look forward to seeing our friends.

I am going to turn off my cell phone Thursday morning, first time in years.

Dave from Desert Detail heard we were coming in, and offered a discounted rate of 80.00 for a full coach wash should you want to schedule one.

His number is 928-208-3199.

Depending on what weather guesser you believe, looks to me like we are in for a somewhat wet weekend.......highs in the mid 60's with rain showers. The bus wash guy will probably starve...might want to check those wiper blades instead!

Anyone have a huge tent or a shelter half??


Best,

John

Well I have seen more optomistic forecasts, but it aint that bad, the worst it shows is 30% chance of showers... Thats 70/30 against. Vegas would take that action.

But if it does rain, then it rains. We have a clubhouse we can retreat to when we care to.

I agree that Desert Detail probably will not make bonus on this weekend though!

I bet the rain won't postpone the rescheduling of the shuttle launch.

Make sure we get some good pictures.

Warren, when do we have to let him know?

[jello_jeep]

Sid, I think short notice is ok, he lives in the park.

Just got the bus loaded for the rally in LHC. Brent look forward to hooking up with you and the rest on Friday morning. I'll be @ Prevost for the night.
