MOAB RV FORUM RALLY, MAY 12-19, 2013
Some of us have already signed up for a Moab rally NEXT year - 2013. The dates are May 12-19, 2013 (7 nights, departing May 20th). We can't get into Portal any earlier than the week of May 12th because the FMCA four-wheeling group has reserved the entire park for the previous week. Portal RV Park has become very popular because it's full from Jeep Week at Easter (March 31st) until the week of May 12th! If you even THINK you might want to come to our rally, sign up now. If you decide six months from now that you cannot attend, it's easy to cancel, but it may not be as easy to get a site if you wait too long. We'll do it the same way we did in previous years, e.g. as INDIVIDUAL reservations and not as a group reservation!
Each person needs to call Portal to make their own arrangements. When we last spoke with Doug (the Portal owner) he hadn?t settled on 2013 prices but said they?d be very similar to 2012. Portal's cancellation policy is that individuals can cancel up to 48 hours in advance of arrival without incurring charges for the entire time. Group reservations cannot be cancelled without being charged. It is for this reason that we are not set up with Portal as a group known as the RV Forum, so please don't say you are with the RV Forum ? just make your personal reservation.
The information you need is:
Portal RV Resort
1261 N. Hwy. 191
Moab, UT 84532
Phone: 435-259-6108

Please post in this discussion when you make a reservation or if you cancel or change sites so that we all will know who is attending and where to find you. The first names on the 2013 Moab Rally Attendees List are:
Bertram (Christi & Kim aka Skyking4ar2, site M-16
Borowski (Janette aka Bunky & Chip aka Falconhunter), site M-14
Brewer (Betty & Terry), site 4
Ferguson (Coleen & Gary aka Taoshum), site 17
FitzGerald (Ardra & Jerry), site M-13
Kuch (Sheila & Ken), site M-15
Lawrence (Wendy & Mike & Gordon), site 41
Nesbitt (Mary Ann & Don aka Gmsboss1), site M-33
Roscoe (Corinne & Bill aka Photog), site R-54
Sharp (Linda & Richard), site 8
Sherow (Debby & Randy), site M-32
Weimert (Barb & Frank), site 5
Weston (Diana & Marty aka SargeW), site R-45
White (Tara & Ernie), site M-31
Zueck (Chrystal, Mike aka ZMotorsports & Jared), site R-54
Go to http://www.portalrvresort.com/w/site-map-res.pdf to see the resort's site map. The M and R sections are the "new" section at the south end where each site has a cement pad and you have access to the swimming pool, hot tub, and dog park. The numbered sites without an alpha prefix are in the "old" section at the north end where sites are gravel. Please note there are a couple of site numbering changes, probably because of confusion in 2012 between similarly numbered sites in the old and new sections. The following latitude and longitude for your GPS will turn you right into the property. N38 35.367 W109 34.130 Elevation is at 3,926 feet.
Portal will not absolutely guarantee a site until the date gets closer because they sometimes have to move people around to fit everyone in. This has always been their policy. You can ask for a specific site by number when you make your reservation and it?s a good idea to follow through and check with Portal as the time gets closer.
Remember this is NOT a group event. Everyone must make their reservation in their own name and do not mention the RV Forum. The reason for this is that you as an individual can cancel up to 48 hours before your arrival and get a refund, but if you are in a group reservation with a group discount you cannot cancel and get a refund.
Should you want to see a previous discussion of the 2012 rally at Portal, the following link will take you to the relevant RV Forum thread: Rallies, Shows, & Events > RV Forum Moab Rally, May 13-19, 2012 or go to http://www.rvforum.net/SMF_forum/index.php?topic=43162.0
Hope to see you at Moab in 2013!
