It seams there is interest in a GTG. Input needed.

I would like to help make it happen. It would seem that one of the next steps is to get a consensus on which RV park we would like to make arrangements and the second is to pick a date. I spoke to the reservation desk @ the Rafter J Bar Ranch, this after noon and as I mentioned in an earlier post, they would give us a group off-season rate of $38.95 per night plus 10% off for Good Sam members through June 2nd, not including Memorial Day Weekend. Late May, early June is a good time to visit that part of the country while spring is still around and before it gets too hot.

Our preferance would be mid to end of June. School out 2nd week of June.

I personally enjoy the Friday night wine and cheese get together and the Saturday night pot luck. The rest of the time people are left to make up their own mind about where to go and what to see. This has worked pretty well for all the GTG's I have been able to attend.

Sounds like you are on the right track by setting a date and place first, the rest will kinda fall in place.

Visiting the Black Hills is on The List, and so we will watch as this thread develops.

Count us as "Interested."

Hi Everyone,

We're definitely interested and Tonka now knows the way. Late spring early summer dates sound great but may conflict with a project that will be comming due at work. Still we'll get whatever date is set on our calendar and see if we can make it work. Let us know how we can help.

Sounds like a fine adventure.

Thanks,
Wally

How June 17-20 2013. Thats a Mon-Thurday. Travel on Weekends

Doorman
dates sound fine

Sounds good to me.

Liz and I will be heading for Denver on Monday. Leave Denver Friday/Sat for Tetons and Yellowstone. South Dakota on way back. We won't begin to see it all this trip. Mid June would work for Round 2!

Doorman, you still want that AC cover?

Going up the hill out of Rapid City there is a place called Bear Country USA. Doesn't look like much from the road and the price seemed high at the time. In fact we almost didn't go in.....i figured they would only have 3-4 mangy old bears there. After we got thru doing the driving part and going thru the walking area my wife asked what i thought of the place. Told her i thought that the price was well worth it and that we would do it again anytime we were in the area. Take your camera.!

If interested in going would like to have as many reservation as we can by Jan, 1rst
The more early reservation we can get, The better
Ideal Ray will have on where to set us up at.

They have not set 2013 rates yet, But based on 2012 rates to aprox.

Sewer, Water, 50A Electric- $36 per day.
Sewer, Water, 30A Electric- $32 per day.

There will be a $50 deposit that will be non refunded after the May 1,2013

Call Ray for any question you might have.


All Members will have to make there own reservation. Make sure you tell them this is for Bartmobile.

I want it to be understood that Guests of Barth owners and non Barth owners are more than wecomed to join you and us for our GTG. There already is some great interest in this.

Hope to see you there.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks Doorman for getting this rolling. I've added it to my calendar at work.

Did Ray say when he'd be ready to take reservations and will he assign Barthmobile sites based on the numbers?

Can hardly wait till next summer.

Thanks,
Wally
