Annual Luxury Coach Rally

[chockwald]

We've got a caravan going right now, this weekend up to Cochrane, Alberta.....4 coaches leaving Spearfish, SD on Saturday bound for Cochrane. We'll be meeting up with Keith, Krista and family (rellick) at Bow Rivers Edge Campground July 3rd to 10th. There is already one Newell owner there, so we'll have 6 Newells there. Anyone else in the area and want to have an impromptu adventure?

[NewellCrazy]

Do you mean a Dodge Caravan?

[rellick]

Clarke, sorry somethings come up here and we regretfully won't be able to make it this time. Hopefully next year we can meet up on our cross country trek. You guys have a great time and safe travels. Have a couple beers for me eh!!

[rellick]

[MrE]

That would make some lucky soccer mom a nice ride!

[MrE]

I'll have to get the Dog House running so I can join in

[jWolfe]

Passports come into play here but I'd be up for a rally in Mexico or Canada. I know some may not feel comfortable with going down to Mexico? Alaska sounds like quite the adventure too. The season obviously matters most depending on the area the rally will be held. I think some mini rallys in between are a good idea as well.

I work and travel so I would most definitely try and work around a rally being planned.

Randy did you hear that? they're talking a poker rally! Sounds like something right up your alley...and probably a few others.

I say others offer up more suggestions for a location and then add some dates with it and make a poll.

That's my two cents.

[bigcatwally]

We would plan on attending just depending on when and where.

[speedingsport]

I'm ready! Let's do this.

What about Lake of the Ozarks?

I hope we will be able to attend. I will be keeping an eye out for the rally dates and place. Good luck with the planning!

[rellick]

I found this place in Idaho looks nice!! Cour d'Alene Idaho RV Park - Blackwell Island RV Park - RV Camping

[JustDustin]

Keith that lake in Idaho looks good! I also like the idea of a place in Lake of Ozarks.

[Wheeler]

I can't give 100% commitment now but we will sure in the heck try to attend. It would be nice to gather and we'll try to invite some others as well.

If some folks can end up doing some kind of marathon or touring type of run, not even sure what to call it yet, then there could be multiple mini rally's maybe even impromptu type like we've done in the past. Some folks maybe make the whole run, while others part of the run, and then those with tighter schedules make the mini's in between. And another thought would be to run it like a relay. LOL! Who knows the sky is the limit here. Bring one idea, bring them all! You only live once, right? One of these days I have to make up for any of my short falls.


Keith, that Lake Cour d'Alene is awesome and breath taking. And I know in the area we can find some rocky river bottoms to attack!

[MrE]

There's some great rapids on the Snake River in Hell's Canyon (not too far south of Cour d'Alene) , but you have to apply for permits in advance and they're awarded by a draw. If you're interested I have some buddies here in Boise with jet boats that can steer you towards some fun places that don't require permits way in advance.

[Neweller]

Jon, now we're talking. I've got to get healed up and limbered up. I would like to enter the third quarter more able with a body suited for this type of continued adventure. Then hopefully carry on like our elder brother Larry W. into the fourth quarter and maybe overtime in a Newell, jetboat or what have you. Actually a hyperbaric chamber would really be keen.

The whole NW is packed full of areas for jetboats. So, what does that tell you? We best have plenty of Polyurea on the bottom, eh?

[MrE]

Just one more idea for the rally, everyone that has a dash cam needs to submit footage of the biggest jerk they encountered during the rally for judging. The winning footage will be plastered all over the Internet by everyone on the forum.
