I'm afraid I have some bad news.
As many of you know, I was supposed to take the RV cross-country to San Diego this spring. But at Gus' request I elected to postpone that trip so I could make the Cherokee rally and Williamsburg Rally. The weather is better in the fall anyway plus there are more beer festivals along the way. Now when Gus asked if I could host one of my newly famous "Rally In The Valley" again this fall, I have spent weeks trying to rearrange that San Diego trip so I could have the rally in mid September. So far I had not been able to make the trip work either because of the vacation schedules of friends out west or fully booked up hot spots (you now how much trouble it is to get a reservation on the ocean front for a 42' 5th wheel?). Turns out that's also peak season for wine country. So I was just about to give up and say I could not do the Rally In The Valley this year because my San Diego trip just could not be shifted from September.
But now I have just learned that I have to postpone my San Diego trip until next year after all because I just learned that I have to be in Florida in mid-September (at least I get to go to Disney while I'm there!).
So I either have to cancel this year's Rally In The Valley, or I have to have it before Labor Day, or I have to have it in October, or you guys will just have to have it without me. Personally I think October would be great, but I'll leave it up to you guys. Actually I guess the decision is up to Gus, but I'm sure he'll back whatever the people want to do, right Gus?
