In some ways it was too bad that we could not be in Pioneertown this February due to the weather. I know that everyone that had signed up for it was very anxious to attend. But instead of being greeted with dry camping, cold nights (in the low 20s) wind and the strong chance of snow, we lucked out with the very last spot at Lake Skinner with full hooks minus sewage. The weather was fantastic and we actually were given a beautiful group site with a partial view of the lake.
We had a fire every night and a few of the guys even went out on a search and recovery for more fire wood. Evidently they found a pile of cut wood out on a trail and brought it back for us. We figured that the Rangers might see them, but they made it back to the camp site without hand cuffs . HAHA.
We ended up with 12 rigs in a camping area made for 16 rigs and it proved to be just the right size for us to be able to stretch out and have plenty of room. Several of the members brought their bikes and E-bikes to try out the trails.
On the evening of the 14th (Valentines day) we were treated with beautiful evening weather and a very nice dinner consisting to Tri Tip, Salmon and chicken along with rice, potatoes and desert. (prepared by Bret and Zeny and reports are that it was delicious !)
The next day we went to Somerset Wineries for a private tour of the winery and vineyards followed by listening to a Spanish band with Flamenco dancer and all. Several of our members even went out and danced with her .
Thanks for all of the help of the attending members, I think that the rally was a success. We are still planning on a future trip to Pioneertown, but this time it will be with hookups and all.
NOTHING BUT POSITIVE FEEDBACK ON THE VENUE, MEAL AND ACTIVITIES. GREAT JOB BRET AND ZENY FOR HOSTING A WONDERFUL RALLY!!
