2014 SW Rally

waterman · 08-15-2012, 07:48 PM

Folks,

It's probably time to start looking at locations for the 2014 SW Regional Rally. We've had rallies in Nevada, northern California, Southern Utah and SW Colorado.

The one states that we haven't held one in yet is New Mexico and Arizona. Other areas that are away from the locations that we have had would be entertained.

Any ideas? Thoughts of a combined rally with another region?

What about Tijuana?

I'm not from SW Region nor do I attend rallys but I think Taos, NM would make a nice rally headquarters. I can think of at least 4 day-long circle routes around Taos, NM.

Wherever it is you better make it spectacular Joel!!

I'd be up for a Taos rally.

The time of year that these rallies are held make it difficult for me to recommend many places in AZ. Two areas that come to mind are Flagstaff and the White Mountains.

Not Flagstaff specifically, but Williams which is only 20 miles away. Flagstaff is too busy and traffic can be a nightmare.

The White Mountains are in the east part of the state, and we could ride Hwy 191, the Coronado Trail. It's the best ride in AZ. The only towns in that area large enough to support a rally would be Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside, or Springerville-Eagar.

Considering where we just held our recent rally....Joel has about as much chance of getting it right as Wilson and his bean fields.....

I guess Las Vegas in July is out of the question.

. The area around Lake Tahoe is a great area. I haven't been to Taos in years but I remember it as a a nice place. Williams, AZ is a good choice also.

I like the Lake Tahoe idea better than NM.

blowndodge · 08-16-2012, 01:43 AM
