Joe,

I went out and looked at the EconoLodge again. It looks like they are under new ownership and they are getting better reviews. Much better than they were getting when I made my reservations. One really bad review about bed bugs but since there's just one, I'd probably over look it. Looks like you hit the jackpot.

Still can't find anything about another rally at the campground or extra cost amenities, can you fill us in?

It seems that we have some confusion as to what constitutes registering for the Corning Rally. If you fill out the forms on line and don't pay YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED. A word to the wise. If you haven't paid - please do so.

Reservation made. See all y'all in July Thanks Duncan

Duncan! Man, it would be great to see you again!

I'm hoping to attend this year but am not signing up in advance as Tulliver and I will be coming back from a three week ride to the BMW Rally in SLC and the TOR Rally in Paonia CO...with a bunch of exploring to do in Utah and Colorado between and after. Then the long trek across the plains and Midwest. If we do make the USCA rally it will likely just be for a day since by then I'll probably miss my other two dogs (and wife) a lot!

Peter,

Are you going to pick up the BMW RA Rally in Petoskey, MI on the way to SLC? It's the weekend before the MOA.

No...too close to our Independence Day weekend travel nightmare for me. Also I've learned not to try to cram too much into a single trip. We'll be leaving Vermont on July 7th; camping in Rocky Mtn Natl Park the 10th and 11th before continuing west. After the MOA rally depending on the weather we'll either drop down to Monument Valley via the Moki Dugway (traveling in the relative coolness of the mornings) then to the cooler heights of the San Juans in Colorado...or scoot directly to those cooler heights.

I can sweat. Tulliver can't!

Quote from dholaday on June 24, 2017, 10:46 am

Pete: Great to hear from you - hope you can get to the Rally in Corning.

Loki Dugway is a great ride - You'll enjoy it. But you can expect daily temps near or exceeding 100.

You might look at the thread[s] on last year's USCA Rally in Hotchkiss CO for info on rides and roads in the Paonia area. There are some REALLY good ones. DirtyDR now lives in Hotchkiss and would be a good source of info.

Hope to see you in Corning. Now that I'm living in VA, maybe I can get my keeper to allow a trip to VT for fresh lamb

I sent in my registration, paid with Paypal, but haven't received any confirmation. What do I need to do to make sure I am registered? Do we need to make separate advance reservations for the campground?

Quote from Al Olme on July 4, 2017, 9:29 pm

Let's start with what's your name? I'm betting you didn't register under "Beepa" and since you didn't put your whole name [as requested] in your profile, we are at a loss to be of help.

Successful registrations get a return email confirmation if you correctly enter your email address.

So, let us know who you are and we'll try to help.

Quote from Beepa on July 4, 2017, 9:56 pm

I am James Bailey, email james.douglas.bailey@gmail.com

I thought I filled everything out well. I have a Paypal confirmation that the money was sent, but nothing from USCA. I also need to know how to reserve a campsite. Thanks for your help.
Jim

Beepa,

Yes, your name shows as registered and paid for the Rally.

To reserve a camping site, contact the Ferenbbaugh Campgrounds directly: (607) 962-6193 OR www.ferenbaugh.com

See you in Corning,
CCjon

Quote from wvsporty on July 5, 2017, 4:49 pm

I reserved site #4 last week. Wifes new sidecar rig is coming along , praying everything comes together so I can get both rigs there. More than likely she will ride it for the first time while at the Rally. But the main reason for building this rig is so we can all 3 ride together when shes having a bad pain day. I keep telling her once she gets used to it she will love it , cause she doesn't have to hold the bike up.

Quote from wvsporty on July 24, 2017, 3:23 am

Wellll now. 3 am Monday morning July 24th. Just got home from Willaimsport PA via Tow truck. My Excursion decided to blow out the front transmission seal which streamed fluid directly onto my now extremely hot exhaust y-pipe. They were able to tow both home in one shot so needless to say I won't be joining y'all for the rally. Have fun and take plenty of pictures.

Quote from CCjon on July 24, 2017, 7:58 am

Doug,

First, glad to know that you all are okay and made it back home safely. Sorry to hear about the mechanical problem.

There is always next year's rally, which won't be far from you either. Think west rather than north.

Quote from Deleted user on July 24, 2017, 2:38 pm

Hi Doug:
I am sorry to hear of your misfortune. I had to buy a different pickup to be able to make it to the rally this year - towing a trailer so I understand yur pain. The difference is - I am going to be able to make it to the rally. We are in Gettyburg, PA right now. Do you have someone to bring the election results to the rally?

Quote from Deleted user on July 24, 2017, 9:50 pm

Hi. We are in a campground 10 miles from Corning.I already told Jon I would help as much as possible J.R.

Quote from Deleted user on July 29, 2017, 9:35 pm

The 2017 rally is more or less history. The CMA service in the morning. We had 204 we actually came. Some paid but didn't show. It was good.

Next year is at Rising Sun,IN. June 16,17,18, 2018

Quote from kshansen on July 30, 2017, 1:59 pm

Had a good time weather other than ride down Thursday morning was good, a tad cool Sunday AM!

Hope everyone makes it home or to next destination safe and dry.

Will give serious thought to 2018 Rally.
