Attached is a description of our up coming rally in the Bellingham,WA area this next August. There have been a number of requests for info. Please send me a personal (not on this list) e-mail letting me know if you will be coming. We need to have confirmations at this time. Driving directions are take I-5 to the Mt. Baker Hwy/Sunset Drive exit. This is exit # 255 if going by exit numbers. Head east on the Mt. Baker Hwy until you go past mile marker #9, ................ then you'll go down a hill. At the bottom of the hill & just before a bridge over the Nooksack River you'll turn LEFT onto the Cedarville Road. Then in about 1 to 1 & 1/2 miles you'll see the Deming Log Show grounds to the left. We'll be camped in back so you probably won't see any trailers from the road. Thank you, Pat Ewing (VAC Region 10 Rep.)
The VAC's Region 10 will be having it's very first annual "Majestic Mt. Baker" rally on August 16th - 19th, 2001. This is Thursday through noon Sunday. Since a number of VAC members are Tin Can Tourist members as well this will be a joint rally of both Clubs.

The rally will be located near Bellingham, Wash., at the scenic Deming Log Show Grounds, ........... an easy approx. 8 mile drive off I-5 down the Mt. Baker Highway.
This is an excellent opportunity for all who live in the northwest part of the States or the southwest part of Canada to get together for great times and trailer talk. (Others are invited as well!)
The rally grounds are nicely wooded with many cedar trees and plenty of open grassy fields. There are around 35 water & power hookups available at $10.00 per night (First come first served.) and unlimited dry camping at $5.00 per night. There is a restroom building (but no showers) and an RV dump is available. There are a number of antique logging equipment displays on the grounds as well.
There will be no rally fee this first year, .................. each will be on their own to cover their expenses. We plan on a pizza feast for one night with all interested contributing towards dinner. Another night could be a potluck if so desired. For this first year we don't have access to any of the covered buildings so all that have screen rooms or covers and folding tables please bring them with you.
There will be a "car pool" trip to Mt. Baker ski area (& above providing the road is open.) Along the way we will be stopping at Everybody's Store. This is a small, old time country store that has gone "exotic" with many different and interesting articles from around the world. They are selling "on line" as well. Nooksack Falls will be another stop along the way. This is a very scenic falls and has a large old fashioned wooden water line that is above ground running through the trees near by. On our way back down the mountain we will stop for an afternoon ice cream treat in Glacier at Graham's Country Store. Yummie in the tummie!!
Traveling down rural, country roads amongst picturesque dairy farms to beautiful Lynden, Wash., can be another car pool tour. This is a very charming "Dutch" town that has a number of antique & gift shops to browse through at your leisure.
The area around the rally site has many different things to see and do. Tubing on the nearby Nooksack River or swimming in one of the local lakes is an option if one so desires. Or a visit to the nearby Nooksack Casino if one desires a "little action."
Those that are interested in attending this first annual Majestic Mt. Baker rally please contact your VAC Region Reps. Patrick & Joanne Ewing, <pre52@gte.net>, or call (360) 988-8407.
