2012 West Coast Rally Discussion

I wish that was true, that I had to report to myself. I work a 40+ hours a week job on top of the self-employment.
I work 8 days a week...
Randy - RPM

Bummer, but I am sure that like myself, many of us are very happy you still have time to keep us supplied with some really cool stuff for our FJs. It will good to see you again at the rally.

Oooh, ummm, not real sure just yet but I plan on being in the U.S from around the 20th May to the end of June.
June 1st - June 3rd seems to be the tentative dates though.
I want to come up to Oakdale and hang out for a couple days before the Rally, it's nice around there.
We've got the Colorado thing happening too, so guess we should get our stuff together.

Okay, when exactly is the Colorado rally? I looked through the thread and they are talking about the same weekend, June 1-3.

My wife is looking forward to your visit, as long as you bring her a big diamond...

Randy - RPM

It's the weekend after the WCSR, gives us time to ride out there.
Dunno about the diamond, how about a lump of coal?

So the Colorado rally is going to be June 8-10.

So who is confirmed for Porterville and where are you staying?  I saw the link to the KOA like place but no one commented about actual reservations.....

Any info?  I think I am in for at least the Porterville trip...possibly Colorado....

Hmmm, we might stay at another bloody KOA, it's a little north of Porterville in Tulare or Visalia.
Really good central location for the rides but.

[simi_ed]

Yea, where are we staying???  Inquiring minds want to know.  Besides, if the accommodations don't rate, I'm travelling solo.

[simi_ed]

I REALLY recommend against Visalia. Perhaps Randy can offer some input on Tulare.  Visalia is not exactly an ideal area.  My $0.02

[simi_ed]

Mr Monkey, I can also find one in your size, although it may require some special Amsoil to get inserted!

The next KOA in the area is in Sanger near Fresno. Ed I have never been to Visalia what's up with the area?

Its almost March so we need to nail down a location Sooooon!

My Recommendation: Keep it simple. Why not stay at the Best Western in Porterville? A room with a shower and potty is not sooo bad along with free morning breakfast. A room with 2 queens, it's ~$85 a night. I recall in the past some of our KOA cabins were close to that cost.

My Recommendation: Keep it simple.

I'm down wit dat!  Can we get a group discount?

I like that too, The KOA at Visalia looks real ghetto and in a suss area.

[Klavdy]

Fellers, we'll be needing someone to step up and get in touch with the hotels in Porterville, organise a deal.
Its a bit hard for me, what with the time differences between Australia and the U.S, not to mention accents,and I think Fluffy's out in the desert somewhere, shooting a new porno.
So, c'mon, step up.

[Pat Conlon]

I am on it.

I'm asking for a price on 12 to 14 rooms, 2 queens, double occupancy, arriving on Thrurday May 31, departing on Sunday June 3rd.

I will report back to the group.
