Any interest in a Thanksgiving rally?

What is the temperature at Newport Dunes at that time?  I only ask because a lot of the activities are water based and would that rule them out?

Usually the temperature range would be in the high 50's to low 60's during the day and in the 40's at night. They do have a heated pool.

I am sorry.  I forgot about this thread and didn't look for it....kind of buried.  I have been busy moving my classroom all week...in a zone.

Anyway, Nick is hard to get ahold of...but he is super nice and easygoing with things.  Yes, you must have 10 sites to get the group rate.  I would suggest getting one extra site for Sccampers, dividing the cost among everybody, for the potlucks and campfire (since sites are small).  

I have always gotten more than I needed....and cancelled about a month before any I didn't need, and it has never been an issue (they seem to have no problem filling sites up).  So, if it is like in the past, you could grab 15 or so...and see how many takers you get.  It is a one-hundred dollar deposit at first, then you send the first night's money one month before, and then the wagonmaster pays for the second night when you get there.  Usually you can get the group rate for two days before and two days after the official rally weekend---but with it being Thanksgiving Weekend, it could be different.  You would really need to ask Nick.  I always left him messages on voicemail, and he took care of things or called back.  

We are interested in going....another family friend of our's is interested, too.  They need to check with family.  Us?  We have to go to my mom's for Thanksgiving Day, no doubt about it....so, Bran wants to think about it (he is cranky because he would rather have turkey at the campground, but my grandma will be heartbroken if we don't show up).  Put us down for two tentative sites....and I will let you know by the end of the weekend.  

Take care!

I'm NOT going to wagonmaster this. So, if someone else wants to call tomorrow -- he's only there until 3:00 -- and do the wagonmaster thing, have at it.

Just for the record, I didn't ask anyone to wagonmaster or call the cg. However, Dee said she would try calling Nick today and will let us know what she finds out.

You didn't ask that means YOUR GONNA DO IT!? :sombraro:

Since I started the thread in the first place, yes, I probably would have, but at this point, I was merely gauging interest in whether we had enough people interested and who could commit, and if so, where they preferred to go.

Got ahold of nick the first try :-()

ok here's the deal:

I have a tentative hold on ten sites WED-SUN..I need to find out ASAP when everyone is planning on arriving:

I was going to do Fri- Sun knowing that can individually reserve up to 2 days before on our own  for the group rate but....Nick said that was fine but a VERY busy time and the site maybe taken and we would have to move

he blocked out 5 & 5 acroos from each other in the 2200 section

the rate is total with tax etc..$36.30/night for 10 sites about $71/night less than 10. 1 month prior the last chance for cancellations and money needs to be in. also a deposit is due at the time of the contract..

need to go back to bed.not doing well today..Lori maybe we can Co-wagonmaster this together?

so everyone let me know:

yes i'm going and WHAT DAYS YOU PLAN ON ARRIVING

Dee4j ....WED-SUN

Thanks, Dee.  You know you like doing this.  

You can put me down for Wednesday-Saturday.  I need a day to get organized for school.

 we have to maintain 10 sites to get the rate so...

What I actually  meant was ARRIVAL day...The Rally is until Sunday  ....What I was asking was what day everyone was arriving not leaving..
if 5 of 10 can't come until Friday then the Rally will Fri-Sun...the others will have to make their OWN reservations for WED and/or THURS immediately or risk them not being available until Friday

griffsclan ...WED-SUN.

Thanks for calling Dee!  :sombraro: I'm grateful to have you as co-wagonmaster--my job is not so understanding or accommodating of life outside of work.

I will do one turkey for Thursday. We will need more than one turkey. Since mine will be cooked in a DO or mabye I will fry one; the largest bird I can do is 12lbs.
 
Griffclan tradition; Lori is French; after Thanksgiving we make Turkey Gumbo!!!! Tres' Bien!!!!
 
I can't wait!!

(Lori feel free to edit as necessary)
Whatever I tell Nick the rally days are we must maintain 10 sites.
if we end up with 9 commitments I will keep the 10th for the group rate and and split that sites fee's amoung the 9 of us. this will be much cheaper than everyone paying $71/night

[griffsdad]

Dee, I can send you the money now if you'd like. PM me.

[dkutz]

Ok the Kutz's are in Thurs, Fri, Sat, leave Sunday.  Sounds like we will do thanksgiving here with family and spend the night, and drink blue bombers and spend poker money thursday night with sccampers.  I can see the t-shirts now.....

Field trip to Balboa for Balboa Bars anyone?
