Lake San Antonio Rally - May 7-11, 2009

Once again we are hosting the Lake San Antonio Rally.

Save the dates of May 7th thru 11th, 2009. We have already had many people sign up and have only a few sites left. It looks like there are 2 sites left. If you are interested please contact us right away. People that came last year received an invitation a week ago and have already signed up if they are planning on coming.

This Rally reservations are different in that Lori and I have reserved the entire Harris loop for this rally. We will be taking ALL the reservations and collecting ALL the money. We do this so that there are NO non-rally people/trailers in our section. We have paid for the entire section and so please let us know if you would like to come. We will do our best to make room for you.

Mike

Hi Mike
assume we have the same spot as before, originally. we got moved last time, don't remember why.
maybe my infirmity? i like that outside spot to watch the cotton tails in the am.
let us know the #'s.

We'd love to come down again! We so enjoyed last year. But, it looks like this is Mother's Day weekend - not sure we can make it - we'll have to decide soon!!!! Marilyn and John

The first year we had the Rally on Mother's Day weekend we wondered if anyone would come. It turned out we were doubling up on the sites.

Since then, we always do Mother's Day weekend. It is the weekend following the Big Wild Flower Triathlon at the lake. It is the best chance to have great weather and is a fairly quiet weekend.

We had so much fun last year that we are really looking forward to this campout. The location was perfect with the wild turkeys each morning and the lake that changes colors all day. The movies under the stars, and the dutch oven cooking are not to be missed. We can't wait to see what is in store for us this year.

I couldn't agree more! Great location and great hosts!

We are having a good response. Anyone else want to come? There are some spots left.

You have us down for the Rally, right? We're planning on it!

YES.

Lori is going to post the list of who’s coming. Thanks for asking.

Hi Lori & Mike - thanx for posting the list and payment details ... we'll be sending our check soonest. Take care, L 'n D

We can accommodate about 5 or 6 more rigs at the Rally. If you are interested and you haven't signed up yet, let us know right away.

We are looking at having another BBQ if we can work it out. We'll also have a potluck dinner, movie nights, game days, swap meet, give-away table, and more.

Check is in the mail. Thanks for planning this again.

I updated yesterday's post with the full list and tentative site numbers. Any questions, let me know.

Lori

Hi Lori and Mike

Our check is in the mail... $118

Just mailed my check for 3 nights.

For those of you who haven't been to Lake San Antonio before, here is a picture and a couple of maps.

I have posted the most recent attendee list at the top of this thread. We have received several payments for reservations. Thank you folks. We will update with more information as it is available.

WOo hoo! One in our neighborhood - practically our backyard! YES we'd like to be there! Is there room for CJ and us?

Jen (E & V, too)

YES, We can add you to the list. Go to the first post and figure out your cost, then let us know and send in your payment.

Looking forward to seeing you "neighbor".

Looks like we'd be arriving Thursday and staying 'til Sunday morning, three nights for a total of $83. Please let me know to where I should mail the check (or drop it by).

Should be a beautiful time of year to be out there.

As for sites, our girls will want to spend most of their time in the water, so it would be nice to have a site on the water. But we're not picky.

Sounds good. YES, this has worked out to be an excellent weekend in the past. It is following the Triathlon weekend and two weeks before the Memorial day weekend. Nice and green, warm weather, and few people.

Please send the check to:

Mike Sanders
PO Box 844
Atascadero, CA 93422

PS: Most all the sites have a good lake view. Non of them are right down on the water, but it is an easy walk.

And the wildflowers should be ROCKIN' this year!

Check's in the mail. Just a post-it for a thank you note. I'm rushin' out the door to take the kids on their appointed rounds.

Tom and JoAnn Lindsey will be joining us for their second Fiberglass Rally.

Welcome, Tom and Joann, in Site 25

The Lake is filling and the foliage is greening up - YEA! We should have a perfect Spring.

Mike and Lori,

I had been vascilating on San Antonio but decided that I like to do it.

I see that all the sites are taken so can you put me on a waiting list in the event any of those who haven't paid as yet decide to cancel.

I would be coming in sometime afternoon Thursday and leaving Sunday. 3 nights $83.

I noticed Lance and Mary McArthur are attending, it would be good to see them again as well as everyone else I know.

OH GOOD. Joy, plan on coming.

We have permission to double up in sites that are large enough. Even though we can place two per site, we still have to pay the standard price for each trailer. I will make sure Lori assigns you a place.

Mike

Great....Mike.

I'll sent you a check and plan on being there sometime Thursday. I return from a golf trip Weds. and have a hair appointment Thurs. that I'll try to move to first thing in the morning or out a week.

I grew up in that area but haven't been down there since we sold the ranch 16 years ago. I was so attached to ranch that I couldn't get myself to go down there. That's why I haven't attended prior gatherings at San Antonio.

This year I said "Get a grip" "Life happens"

Am I a slow learner!!!!

This is great.

I've added Joy to the list of attendees. Also, Phil Caster is coming with his new trailer.

Check out the list on the first page. We have 32 trailers signed up so far.

Lori

Hey Lori,

Check's in the mail.
It's for $89 because it's Joy plus pet. That would be Lily.



Linda and Dale,

Back that big old Casita allllll the way in. I'm sure you'll get there before Lily and I. Look forward to seeing you.

We’re getting close. One more sign up today.

We just ordered our Egg today but won't be able to pick up the Casita until mid May. It sucks when work interferes with fun.

We visited your Casita Get Together at the Lake last year, actually that's where we changed our minds from the SD to the Liberty. We would like to stop by and say hello and (if it's OK with Carol) take another look at Carol's Liberty since we would like to set up our beds the same way.

We would love to have you come by. Come camp in what ever you have. (let us know)

Hello Bill and Marianne

Congratulations on your new Liberty...

We will be in site 14 and would be happy to again show our sleeping setup to you. We love the twin bed mod.

We'll watch for you.
Carol and Jim

Thanks Mike ...... I marked the calendar for the visit.

Next year we'll camp with you guys. This year we'll just come with more questions.

Hi Carol;

Thank you. We will be stopping by to look at your bed modification. Hope you don't get tired of our questions.

Take care
Marianne

Hi Marianne

Ask all the questions you have - we hope to have all your answers. See you in May.

Carol

Thanks Mike & Lori for doing all this!

We'll be there Friday night, just heard back from Marie Moore, will likely bring our kayak and our check is in the mail to:
Mike Sanders
PO Box 844
Atascadero, CA 93422.

We look forward to meeting you for the first time. See you there!

Brian and Marie Davis
17' Casita Spirit Deluxe
(2008 with the swivel seats mod)

We’ll watch for your check.

The First post has been updated with ALL who have PAID. If we missed any of you, please let me know.

Thank you for mixing it up for the repeat customers!
Getting a different site each time I attend makes it a whole new experience.

One month to go...

We are so looking forward to it!

Hi Mike & Lori,

I noticed you don't have "paid" beside my name. Maybe it is because I only paid you for two nights and will pay the park for the first night of three nights? At any rate, let me know if there's a problem.

I have a friend who is interested in seeing a 13' fiberglass trailer. She said she'd like to visit on Sat. if there will be any 13' trailers available to look at. She knows they are not necessarily for sale, but I've told her we usually have open house on Sat. sometime. Could you tell me if you expect 13' trailers to be there? I know Joy has a 13' Scamp, but don't know if she'll be bringing her trailer or staying with someone else.

Thanks for your help!

Marie

Marie,

We will have our 13ft Boler if we don't have a new to us Bigfoot which probably isn't going to happen before the rally.

Marie, Thanks for double checking us.

I’m sure everything is OK, but I’ll have Lori check her notes. I’m sure she’ll get back to you.

Thanks Lizbeth. I realized too late that I only need to look at all three pages to figure out who has what. So far as I can tell, you and Joy Avila are the only two 13' ers who will be there, but I'll let my friend know. I think she is getting excited about the opportunity to see a few fiberglass rv's. I hope you get your new trailer soon -- but not TOO soon.

Marie

We have a 13' Casita, as do the Ashby's. I think (wish my memory of names was better) there is a second Boler in addition to Lizbeth's as well. That would make a total of five 13' trailers from three manufacturers in attendance.


Bill

Hi folks,

There will be one less 13 footer. Something has come up and Lily & I won't be there. I definitely attend next year.

Sorry to miss all of you I've never met and see the rest of you down the road.

Joy, sorry to hear you can't make it. We were looking forward to meeting you.

Thanks for the info, Bill. Without Joy and her Scamp (I'm sad she & Lily won't be there), we should then have four 13 footers. I think Cathleen will be thrilled to see four.
Marie
