[Klavdy]

That'd be 'Aussies", me old Seppo mate, "Aussies".
Anyway,no campfires, what sort of faggot fairground has those sort of rules?

Klavdy,

I am hoping that you and Baldy will make it to next years WCR and head east to the Central Rally the following weekend. I missed meeting you both at this years WCR.

Here's the website for Rafter J Bar Ranch.

It's a lot nicer than the KOAs I've seen in the Hills.  The Palmer Gulch KOA is crowded and hardly any trees.  They pack the campers in so tight it's like a used car lot.

This gets my vote.

The Rafter J Bar has a circle of cabins that would be nice to get and lots of tent spaces and then spaces for campers too.

I've camped there with my family 3 different summers, twice in our pop up and once in a basic cabin. Always had a great experience. It's centrally located and like Fred said the rates were always good.
It's been a few years but the website looks like they are still doing well.

To all you 2015 WCR Hopefuls, the arrangement these guys have sounds good to me as well with lots of flexibility on pricing.  I'm also concerned the current place is probably too small and maybe a bit remote.  It looks like 20 rooms and a bunch of RV space http://www.meadowcliff.com/resortmap.html, so I think we could not have fit the 2014 WCR in there and we'd need to split the group.  If we'd need to split up, I'd rather find out if we have alternatives...  what do you guys think?

Does anyone know of a campground arrangement up toward Twain Harte (I think) that has a similar range of options for lodging and it pretty big as I recall.  I don't remember the name, but it came up a couple years ago as a rally location maybe.  Or maybe I went there as a scout or ??  Randy - maybe it was your suggestion in the first place?

If we can find something like what the Black Hills Rally have setup, I'd like to hear about it.  One thought would be to move the whole thing to Graegle and ride around in the Sierra Butte...  A nice thing there is you're at altitude and enjoying cool air most of the time.  Ramos - you probably ride up there on occasion?  I think the Graegle area has lodging options we could consider as well.  There's the Gray Eagle Lodge (http://www.grayeaglelodge.com/cabins/), but that might be getting pricey.

Pat - you want to move to 2015 WCR?

So this sounds like it would be the place. Too bad we have to wait to reserve.
I vote for this
