Rally at Hurley.

Post by **krasmu** » Thu May 19, 2016 3:45 pm

I have family coming into town on Friday 24th, so I'm planning on pulling out on Thursday. Do we have an event schedule for Thursday? What is happening and times. I have a 6 hour ride home. Can I stay for some stuff and still make it home at a decent time?

So when do things kick off on Monday? Do most folks roll in Sunday or Monday morning?

Post by **vxiirider** » Fri May 20, 2016 11:21 pm

The rally actually starts on Tuesday. There is a catered dinner ( for $ 20 per person) in the park that is an extra item paid for when you register, if you want to attend. We always plan on getting there on Sunday to get settled in and meet and greet old friends. If you arrive on Monday you will not miss any of the planned rally activities.

That dinner on Monday night or Tuesday in the park? If I get there early afternoon Monday. Should that be good?

They usually don't head out for dinner until around or after 5pm. Maybe 4:30 depending on schedule or distance to the park. But if you're there mid afternoon, you'll be fine.

Cool. I can be home for Father's Day and head out early Monday morn. See all you folks for dinner then

WE are looking forward to the rally very much ! A special year for us here in 2016, is that our friends from the east of where we live (since they are headin this direction anyway) are gonna attend a "pre-rally" get together at our home !

.............My wife told me to get the place "spruced up" a bit , cause we got "company comin"

, ( I thought I just got done doin this !)

After a 9 hour day of humpin heavy equipment,this is the LAST thing that I wanted to do ! But we all know that "happy wife,happy life" applies here ! She seems to be in tune with this AVA forum,and takes pictures of me doin what I do !(most never get posted ! ) but always give a smile !

I don't Know if the rest of you guys have ever tried to spread the "BEHR DECK OVER" product... but this stuff is like trying to spread out peanut butter !

The whole time I'm doing this , Im asking the kids for some help here ! ....but like the ol' "Phil Collins"
song ..."There's no reply at ALL " Shooting hoops is more important ,than helpin' "dear ol' dad "

oh well .....life goes on for this ol' mechanic !

Life goes on .... see you all in a few weeks at the rally ! .....................Tony

Hey Tony, you work so hard on such a nice party deck maybe I should ride over from WI on my way to the rally.

I was thinking more of a late summer cookout at his place.

OK, so it's 10:30 PM(eastern time) and June 23rd which means by now the 2017 rally location has been announced and yet those of us who couldn't make it to this year's still have no idea where it will be. ............ :thk:

Please share some information with the less fortunate!

Did a quick search of room availability in June of 2017 (just because i was wondering on their rates), only things i seen in June were Family Cabins, lodge kings (about half booked in June already) and Lodge with 2 Queens (only 1 week thats not pretty well booked up in June, 11th-17th).

Sounds like if the Lodge is where people want to stay, thing will need to be setup and reserved really early for this one.

The AVA may have blocked rooms already which would reduce the available rooms shown online.

Yea i thought about that after i posted... being i missed this years, i want to start planning next years Rally as early as possible (lol.. 1 day after?!) and i was just trying to see what kind of prices they had and noticed the available rooms (or lack there of). Lets hope that they have some blocked out already.
