I am new to the group and wanted to get a fun group camp together for Northern
California Fiberglass trailers. Someone mentioned that I
should just start one and throw it out there to see who would like to come.
OTHER STATES WELCOME AS WELL. South Lake Tahoe is a great destination spot.
So I picked a date: SEPT. 18 and 19 and a location SOUTH LAKE TAHOE at a KOA
camp http://www.laketahoekoa.com
I hope you can make it. Just go to the website listed and call up to make your
reservation. They are giving us the KOA 10% off rate. Pets are welcome. There
are full hookups. Just call and let them know you are with the fiberglass/scamp
group/Rick they will know.
I have not been to this camp before, but it looks good with lots of trees and
just minutes to downtown South Tahoe for some fun if you like...
OK. Hopefully we get a nice group of trailers out there. If you can let me know via the forum as well that would be great so we all know who will be showing up. See ya there!!!

Well, even though it IS a bit pricy, Michele and Alan will attend.
I also talked to my buddy here in town, Earl, and he will attend as well.

Hi DD - Earl saw the post and gave me a call... he will respond shortly.
I was unaware that he was..... no IS **the** reigning Golf Ball Horseshoe Champion. I imagine he will be insufferable... lol
That is the SECOND world champ this year for our little town - we had a local girl who took a GOLD in the shotput in the olympics. TWO champs from one small town. my, my

Hi Rick!
This is Earl from Galt. This is my first time using the forum. I had to call my buddy Alan for help in using it.
Anyway, as he said, I would like to attend the Lake Tahoe gathering, even a small one. As the co-champ of the Golf Ball Horseshoe tournament at the Oregon Gathering, I have secured the plans to build a set and will bring it to Lake Tahoe so we can all practice.

Great Earl and Alan. Thanks for attending and bringing the golf ball horseshoe stuff with you. I have not played before so I look forward to learning.
I spoke to the lady at the camp site and she said no hurry to make reservations. After the long weekend would be better since it is so busy up there right now with labor day weekend. I am going to make my reservation on Tuesday or Wed next week.
I look forward to meeting you both. Lets hope to get a few more going. I know it is a bit expensive, but I guess since its South Tahoe they have a higher rate. I'm still in for sure.

OK now we have 4 egg campers going to South Lake Tahoe KOA.
Alan and Michele
Earl
Diane
Rick and April
Lets see if anyone else can make it. I should be a beautiful time of the year up there and the crowds will be gone. Remember just call the camp site and let them know that you are with the Fiberglass egg shaped campers or Rick's group and they will get you the discount and put us all together.
Look forward to camping with you all.
Rick

Hey Earl,
Be sure to take that wonderful trophy that I made with you to flaunt.
Oh, and don't do the 5 or 6 point thing, just 1, 2, 3, starting at the top rung going down.

Hey Earl! Dalton, Kate and Janea say Hi!
<div align="center">Earl was our neighbor at the Oregon Gathering and I can go one better now that I'm finally getting to my pics from July and everyone can meet him officially.
Here are Earl and Zack the co-champions of the Golf Ball Horseshoe accepting their trophy from Joy:

and Earl receiving the necessary training that allowed him to win:
Earl's a great fella, and here's a final one Earl, from two of your biggest fans:
Great to see you coming up and joining in with us at FGRV. Look forward to sharing a campground with you again. I'll forward you copies of the pics as well.

When I called the KOA yesterday, the guy who answered the phone didn't know anything about our group or about the discounted rate. He didn't get back to me today....

Sorry Earl but I draw the line at $50 a night camping. I can afford it I just choose not to spend that much on camping.
I've not been happy with Lawson's Landing at Dillon Beach going up to $26 which I think is high for dry camping. But $50....that doesn't even include tax. Maybe the discount might cover the tax, it's still $50 a night.
Have fun folks

Darren:
I called and made my reservation this afternoon. The lady answering seemed to understand what I was talking about. I made the reservation and she mentioned putting us all together. She wanted to know how many would be there. I told her the group might grow before next Friday. I didn't have any other info for her. My advice to you: try again. Mention Rick Hansen's name. - - Earl

Darren (et al)
[b]Use the local (530) telephone number which rings right at the campground. I **think** the 1-800 number goes to a national reservation system.

I just made OUR reservation! We ARE IN, baby!
With the KOA discount that is extended to the group it is $45.90 per night. Like Joy sez... it IS a bit high, but I figgered, what the hey. If we get something in Northern California STARTED, we can certainly move Next Year... There are SO MANY places in the Sierra. And also lower elevation for Sping or Fall camping. But for now, THIS ONE is a GO!!!!!!!!!!!
The lady I talked to [at] KOA, Sandy, ALSO did not know about the KOA disco being extended to the group, but I explained the whole situation and she went ahead and extended it... she said that ONE of the group (Rick, is this YOU) has a KOA Kard and I think based on that she made an executive decision and gave it to me... the OTHER option would have been to wait for the regular reservation person to come in.
Woo-Hoo!!
Also, I asked if she knew where they were going to put us, but she didn't know yet.
Here is a link to a Printer Friendly version of their campground map.
http://www.laketahoekoa.com/images/campground_map.jpg
Is there a general area that strikes anyone as more (OR LESS) desirable???
If so, **someone** (hint, hint, Rick) should call up and kind of rattle their cage a bit. Just to be MORE sure we are all close together.
My wife, Michele, was wondering... is there a potluck planned? Friday and/or Saturday? If so, does anyone want to do a themed dinner... i.e. Mexican, Italian or whatever.
See you all Friday after W*rk. (Sorry about that 4-letter word.)
Alan (& Michele too!!!!!!)

A group potluck sounds great!!! Saturday evening might be the best time. Not sure about a theme though. Anyone else???
