Smithwoods RV Rally - Summer 2009

[JohnandLeann]

We were going to use our cups that hold a 1/2 bottle of wine each perfectly.  But I saw another place that was posted by Dkutz I believe.  Sorry if I am wrong.  Fernwood looks like nice place also so that is where we have changed to.  We will be going there before the rally.  Hopefully my work will allow me to take off a few days into August for vacation.  They really want us Custodians at our sites two weeks before school starts and getting into August is not good in their eyes.  I will know shorlty cause we are to be getting our vacation accounts to plan for the next year.  Kinda difficult to plan your vacation a whole year in advance sometimes.

The Julia Phiefer area is beautiful so I think that with a stream running through the campground, it should be nice.
Once you get passed Ragged Point, the gateway to Big Sur from the south, the coast is just gorgeous.  I think my only concern might be the burn areas and the damage done there.  Just have to remember fire is a part of nature too, and has its own beauty.

I am really looking forward to this trip, should be a blast.  Its our first really long haul with the trailer, and extended stay camping.  I can't wait...

Us too this will our longest trip with the new TT we'll be staying at a CG in King City for two days then off to Smithwoods and staying there for two weeks with lots of side trips hopefully then if all works out we'll head off to Grants Pass,OR. work our way back home taking maybe five to six weeks total.......Lots will depend on gas prices and if I get enough money saved for this trip. Even if we don't make it to OR. we'll have a truly great time at Smithwoods.......

Darn retirees.

Sounds like a great trip. In my youth, mom and dad piled 8 kids into a 21 foot Winnebago and did a 4 week trip to the east coast and back.
Several years later they drove all the way to Newfoundland and back, a 7 week journey. Although that trip only had mom and dad and 6 kids.
  It can sound daunting to spend this much time on the road in an RV, but we never failed to have a fantastic time.

What great memories your family must have.  When I was younger and when our kids were younger we Tent camped and I think our longest trip was only three weeks.  But we too always had a super time.  
I would have loved to have had a RV would have made life soooooooo much easier for me anyway........Hahaaaaaaa

Dkutz,
What site are you in for Fernwood?  Are you going there after the Rally?

We are planning to go to the Roaring Camp Railroad while in the Felton /Santa Cruz area.  We were there 7 or so years ago and loved it.  

They have two choices.  One steam train through the redwoods.  Or they also run a train to the Santa Cruz board walk  (something we also plan on doing).

If anyone else is interested let me know and I will contact them to find out about group rates.

Thanks

NOTE:  I just Noticed "a day out with THomas tank engine" is on the weekend of the 1st and 2nd.  I would avoid these days at all costs.  We would go after that event to avoid the crowds....

Hi,

I would be interested in the train rides.
