+1 :nod:
How big of a grill are we going to need. I have a small portable and a decent size stand up. Mark me down for one or the other or both. Ill bring the LP for it the utensils for it and i'll run it if my ADD permits. I'll also have an ez up and some chairs for my own fat ass. HA! I'll probably drive my truck out onto the dunes and set up the ez up on or around the strip. I'll be camping for sure. Hopefully ill be there Thursday thru Sunday.
Has any one else booked for that weekend at any of the camp grounds or hotels? I just went to make reservations at the state park and it's booked. Theres a car show in heart that saturday the 30th. we may have a problem making reservations for the weekend. Havent really checked into any other campgrounds yet as iv only stayed at val du lakes once in the past other than the state park campground. I have seen val du is back again under new ownership.... again. But my pearents are going also so unless val du is going to be like it was, under the other name it was last year, then its out.
I think they normally book at the Sierra Sands Hotel for the Rallies, they give a discount if I remember correctly.

just don't mention raptor rally. Some guys were pretty loud last time and ruined it for everyone. :lol: :lol:
I checked around at some other camp grounds and theres plenty of avil at other places. I'm not sure why the state park is compleatly booked and nothing else is. I gotta camp kyle. The hotels are ok over there in late fall, but if its nice out im out by the fire cooking and or drinking a beer... ok a few beers, after the sun goes down. Any one else camping?
We have campfires at the Sierra sands as well, or at least they used to let us.
The majority will be at the hotel. I will check with heft to see if we can still get the group rate but I'm not counting on it. I plan to start booking in a couple of weeks.

I'd book sooner rather than later. The people i've talked to say that weekend fills up sooner rather than later because of that car show. But then again with gas prices i'm sure they'll use any angel to get you to book it. My parents are going with me and my girl and there bringing there 35 foot camper. Not exactly gonna be roughing it. My mom plans out every meal we go camping together. Its kinda nice and takes me back to being a kid. Now that i'm older and my parents have less and less time here on earth i actually like doing that kind of stuff with them again.... auh sorry having an emotional moment.
Car show is out in hart, and the state park has a habit of being the first park to fill up. Comfort Inn will fill up fast, but since they're the same price there's not much benefit staying out there anyway.
There will be no group rate this year at Sierra Sands, prices are $159/night Friday/Saturday nights and $125 for weeknights. This is for rooms with 1 queen bed and 1 sofa (max 3 people) or a deluxe room (2 queen beds, 4 person max). You can have more people in these rooms for an additional cost of $5 per person per night. There are suites available for more $$$. We usually end up with triple and quadruple occupancy. There are a very limited number of fold away beds available for additional charge of 8 dollars per night.

That's the plan.
The old man may be up there, dunno yet.
Cool :thumbs:
MD, do you want to start a tab on the first post to keep track of who is coming, how many in their group, where they are staying and for how long?
You can mark me down for myself +1 (the girlfriend) for sure, staying at the Sierra Sands hotel, arriving friday afternoon and heading home sunday morning.
I may be bringing a buddy along, and his girl...so there could possibly be 2 more in my group. I will let you know for sure once the date gets closer.
First post updated, BIG FAT BUMP....We're getting close to this date!!!!!!!
Put me down for +1 my buddy Rob is coming up with me on thursday so the room just got cheaper :nod:
Also put me down for Chips, Cookies and Water :nod: Let me know if anything else is needed. And I'll bring a couple Carbon Covers for give away.
Put me down for +9, My Friend, My Family, Another Family. :turtle:
My buddy and i may only be attending the BBQ tho.
me, and my Brother will be there, but prolly just a day trip
money/time prohibits an overnight stay
if my new Turbo Buggy is ready for a test day then I will have it
either way I will have the 450, but I really hope the buggy is ready for a run!

If you're already going to be at the dunes all day/weekend there will be smaller groups out riding all the time, don't be a stranger and come join us. The best part about these rallies is meeting new people! :thumbs:

It won't be the same without Hefe hanging around after the sun goes down, but I guess I'll take what I can get.

Make sure your girlfriend brings some girlfriends. :D
Looks like it's going to be and my pearents. I'm hoping my one buddy comes that is also recently single but not sure yet. For sure staying at val-du. Theres only 3 of us an we have 2 camp sites, so if any of you guys wanna come camp and be my wing man at the bar thats cool. :thumbs: Anyone have an extra set of skats they would let me use for the weekend. I'd like to beat a couple 450's this trip but my sheckos won't let me. lol :rofl:

awww... :hug:
Fister is pretty broke, so he asked if we could just do a day trip, and Starla has Family plans, so she won't be around..
a day trip just seems to make more sense this time
my Buddy "Buss" should be along with his 450.. so thats one more
Phucker will be there, but no Barker :(
Down at the beach under the Detroit lions canopy. Come and say hi.
got pics yet Mike? if so you guys can text them to me and I'll post them 7192875240 ;)
I never got my camera out of the truck, but I did bust out the cell phone to take a few pictures...
Shortly after I got to the dunes Friday a little before noon....
