The Rally Facility: https://ddrvresort.com/
Join us at Distant Drums RV Resort just off of Interstate 17 about 90 miles north of Phoenix AZ.

The venue is a highly rated RV resort offering all of the amenities plus a free shuttle to the casino across the freeway. 30 sites have been blocked for the rally. This will be a popular rally so make your reservation soon. The rally rate of $32.00 is extended for 1 day prior and 1 day after.

Rally rates ($32.00) will be honored 1 day prior and 1 day after rally dates.

The Area:

This is an area steeped in history, some from the 17 and 1800’s and also many years before the Europeans explored this area. Visit Sedona and take in the red rocks or go visit the Grand Canyon before heading home after the rally. You will be amazed at all there is to see and do in the area.

Our Mexican dinner for Saturday night is catered by Gabriela’s Mexican Food. The menu is beef or chicken enchiladas, rice, beans with chips and salsa as well as guacamole and sour cream. As usual the chapter will supply paper and plastic dinner wear, iced tea and coffee.

Our caterer has been in business for over 9 years in the local area. She is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week – please don’t hesitate to stop by her place for a meal. Be sure to mention the Heartland RV Club if you do visit her restaurant in downtown Camp Verde.

Our Saturday and Sunday morning treats are from Wingfield Bread Co. in downtown Camp Verde. Wingfield Bread Co. only uses flours that they mill from grains in the hand-crafted breads, cinnamon rolls and doughnuts they make and sell.

Please don’t hesitate to visit Wingfield Bread Co. and again be sure to mention the Heartland RV Club.

STEAL-A-GIFT: Bring a $10 - $15 unwrapped gift for this game and place it on the steal-a-gift table. For your gift you will receive one ticket. A couple can play as a team with one gift for one ticket or a couple can bring two gifts and receive two tickets, one ticket for each player on that team. This game can be cut-throat, last year Garry added a surprise to his gift and I wonder if?

Rules for the game will be announced at the start of the game.

The Verde Canyon Railroad:
https://verdecanyonrr.com/

Our excursion train leaves at 1:00 PM on Friday 10/4 for a 4 hour round-trip train ride up the Verde Canyon to the Perkinsville ghost ranch and back. As we depart the station in Clarkdale we are treated to a champagne toast and complimentary appetizers with a no-host bar and service at your seat. Our car has oversized windows and 40 seats in comfortable living room type furnishings. The 20 mile ride takes us through some very scenic areas with rugged terrain, red rock pinnacles, near ancient Indian ruins, across fortified bridges and through a 680 foot tunnel. We have reserved 40 first-class seats. The cost per person is only $86.56 (includes a 12% group discount and taxes). Passengers need to be on the platform for boarding at 12:00 Noon.

Please text or pm me for a reservation so you won’t miss out on this fun adventure.
Full payment must be received no later than 8/1/2019.
I will take reservations now as long as I have payment by 8/1/2019.

Direction to the railroad.

# Hwy 260 to Cottonwood (exit # 287 from I17)
# In Cottonwood turn left onto S. Main (AZ 89A – There is a Black Bear Dinner on your right at this intersection).
# You will stay on S. Main as it turns into N. Main.
# You will stay on N. Main as it turns into S. Broadway. (There is a new RV Resort on the right which might be a great place for a rally in the future.)
# Keep going on S. Broadway until you reach N. Broadway and turn right – follow signs to the VVRR.

The street address for the railroad is:
300 N Broadway, Clarkdale, AZ 86324

Rose and I will be at the station well before any of you arrive, we will have your tickets.
The railroad asks everyone to be on the platform one hour prior to the train departing at 1:00. Pretty sure they want you to have time to spend lots of money in the gift shop and snack bar.
