More Rally Weigh info:

Here is the Smartweigh info for the Rally:

Smartweigh will be available again this year !!

Al Peterson from Escapees Smartweigh will be on site at the Rally from July 16th ~ July 23rd. As you know, the actual Rally dates are the 19th ~ 22nd. Most people leave either Sunday the 23rd or Monday the 24th. We will have it set up this year so that there is a dedicated pull-through site available for the weighing process. Hopefully no bottlenecks at the entrance.

With this thought in mind, we are encouraging as many people as possible to schedule weighing the rig on your way into the site. You then stop back over to weigh the truck only and he can go over all the findings and advise you. Appointments for weighing upon arrival are available from 7/16 through the morning of 7/19. Starting on the afternoon of the 19th, he will have a sign up table in the tent and can schedule your truck to be weighed and then do the rig when you depart. Weigh times are available in 1/2 hour increments.

Please contact Al directly by email arp43a@gmail.com to schedule. He does accept cash, check, and credit cards. The fee is $55.00.

The email should have subject "Redwood Rally" and include the following:

Name
Phone number
Arrival date
Estimated arrival time.

This weighing is an individual wheel weigh. More accurate than a CAT Scale as you will know side to side differences and individual wheel weights.

Found the same thing.........sent an email to them and later that day Cindy called me back. We had a great conversation and was able to make reservations. She was so accommodating about our maybe changing schedule and was willing to work around that. What a nice lady. I was incredibly impressed.

Please keep us posted periodically with the total rig counts. It will help motivate some and help others of when they need to start making final decisions to join the party.

Current paid rig count is 53 and I know of at least 2 other rigs who are coming but haven't done the registration and payment, so 55 is a good #.

Capacity is 100. Early registration ends at the end of March which is this Friday. Registering after Friday will cost you an extra $20/pp, if there is still room available.

Still waiting on the list from the campground how many people have reserved with them so we can cross check with the ROG registrations. I suspect, but have no proof yet, that some have reserved a site but haven't registered for the rally here. We are going to do a much better job at managing that so we won't have the issues like last year at check in.

Again, I have to point out that if you want to be located at the camp ground near other people you need to arrive together. You can reserve a site, but site assignment is on a first come first serve basis. So there it is, my CMA for the night.
