Hi Tom, we just got home from visiting our youngest son in Idyllwild, CA and looking for a place to take the coach over Thanksgiving week.
This is just preliminary and in the planning stages, so don't hold me to the dates, but I'm looking at the first several days of October of 2011.
I've gathered info on flyfishing for a guide service up in Oroville. They will provide boats and guides and will also provide full equipment (waders, tackel and instruction) for an additional fee for those who have never fly fished and want to try it. They can guide the Feather River, The McCloud and the lake. Apparently fishing is not as good during the summer months, but beginning in October the trout pick up, as well as, inland steelhead. Also I can picture Oroville being hot in the summer months. It was in the 100s when we were there in August.
I'm lining up a photographer to put on a photo seminar. And will possibly have a horseshoe tournament, a game night and a "Husband Cook" Breakfast like Gary did at some of the East Coast Rallys.
The campground is located on an Indian casino so there is gambling, a buffett and a lounge with entertainment. The campground also has a pool, hot tub and a dog run. There are full hooks with 50 amp and cable TV. The only draw back to the location is not alot of shopping for those who don't like fishing or photography or sitting by the pool. The campground is a small (under 50 sites) very nice facility. It's satellite friendly, grassy sites, has a "meeting room".
I have in mind recruiting a couple to help with this. Tim and I will be Alaska all summer and may not have cell service or internet for some of the time prior to the possible rally. It would be nice to have someone else be available to answer questions and/or to interface with the campground if we can't be reached.
So those are my thoughts. My plan is to solidify my reservation sometime this week. They need a minimum of 8 rigs to give us a 10% discount on the campsites. The sites will all be in a specific area with 4 sites on one side and the other 4 on the other side. Here is their website
