Rally Details

This rally begins where the Fall Royale Coach Club rally ends off in Petoskey, MI., August 30, 2015. We are planning on a maximum of 20 coaches to join us as we mosey across the Midwest to Colorado. We plan on seeing Lambeau Field in Green Bay, and visit the Mall of America and take a boat cruise on Lake Minnetonka (if available). Our trip will take us to Mount Rushmore and once in Colorado we will experience its majestic beauty as well as great dinning and fellowship all along the way. This rolling rally will allow you to take as many side trips as you desire. You can take more time in any particular area and catch up later if you want. Just be sure to make your reservations as needed on the following pages printed in RED.

This is not an official Royale Coach Rally but is an addition. It is designed to be an: ON-YOUROWN, PAY-AS-YOU-GO rally. You will need to make all your reservations at least a year in advance and check on them to be sure the places you reserved are still in the system. A rolling rally itinerary with reservation dates and phone numbers for you to call follow this letter. There may be some changes as we go but that is the fun of such an adventure. We hope all of us can be accommodated at the RV parks so we are hoping everyone who wants to go will make their reservations at least a year in advance. There are a couple campgrounds that cannot take early reservations. These are noted on the itinerary. All except those noted have been informed of our group and are awaiting your call.

With this type rally you can leave camp when you want and travel at your own leisure. The destination and time to drive is listed for each stop. Just try to check in on time so that we can have our get togethers as planned but it is OK if you are late OR don't show. Please pick another couple to buddy up with while traveling. There is not a Trail Master or Tail Gunner. You are on your own, but only as far away as a phone call to anyone of us if you need help. A roster of all who are going will be provided as soon as all names are in. The longest day's drive will be around 5 and a half hours (depending on road conditions). Most days are shorter.

Although this rally will last eighteen days, you may not want to do the entire trip. Some may not want to take the Million Dollar Highway from Durango to Montrose. We have a friend who used to live in Ouray and he says he has driven his motorhome that way many times. He says big rigs take it every day. But we don't want anyone to push their driving skills past their limit. So choose wisely. We hope you will take advantage of the scenic stops in Silverton and Ouray.

When you make your reservations tell them you would like to be grouped together with the Royale Coach Club members. To join the rally or if you have any questions or need help please e-mail us at tonka42@cox.net or call us at 479-366-0653. We would like to have all 20 coaches accounted for no later than 9/30/14. Once you join please make your camping and dinner reservations ASAP and note your confirmations on the itinerary. A waiting list will be kept after the first 20 are signed up. Looking forward to your joining us. First come, first serve...

Cordially,
Bill & Shirley Sage
