Won't they let you in without a number?

Sure, registration is open. Members do get a considerable rally fee discount.
BTW -membership now has a reasonable policy that allows those expired more than a year to get into the club with their old member #.

Truth be known, I became a member so my info would be in the directory so if anyone needed help or a place to camp out my info would be handy. Discounts are great, but not my motivation. If I could just keep that info for other riders I really wouldnt re new, is that possible ssmith? I just wanna be handy for that rider in need.
And FWIW, I will be attending the rally, gonna do the tent thingy :)

We can ride there together Chet, me you and hopefully Gumbi, sounds like fun! :)
I'll be staying at the hotel though, my old body can't take tenting it anymore and I can't bring both my RV and my Connie, so hotel it is for me at least...
-
In a perfect world the the missus would be driving the rv.
-
I'm in the early planning stages as well.

She's too scared to drive my truck without the 5th wheel connected, with the 5th wheel connected no way will she even attempt it GP... :(

Sorry, no. It is a member directory.

Sorry, no. It is a member directory.
Does this mean non members can't offer assistance?

Non-members can offer assistance. There is no need to ask permission or be listed in a directory to offer assistance. To be listed in COG's member directory, you need to be a member.

Woohoo! I just booked me and mama's room at ralley central, also booked a room for Gumbi, can't wait!! So glad to finally have one on the west (best) coast! :)
-
Any of you PNW riders know of great campground that I might not find through an internet search. It seems like the best places to camp aren't listed anywhere on the net (or are very hard to find). Great views and clean showers are definitely at the top of my list.
I know Chet said he wanted to camp, maybe we could share a site or get spots next to each other.

There's no coast in Idaho dumbass!

Thats how he rides, er, coasts ;D
Hey Jay, Gumbi, whata think about one of those cabins? They have a shuttle for those inebriated few and away from the masses come evening times. And Jay, I'll loan ya my MC trailer, you could tarp it up to help keep her clean ;D I'll still be tenting as it sounds like the misses may be along with ya.
Jeremy, check out the Redverdz tent, very large and space for the bike ;) Spendy, buy I will be able to get a fair discount for you. You wont be sorry. Especially since you have some trips planned. Dry space to unload or any maintenance chores, large space to cook in, room to hang any wet gear for the night, shade for those warm days, and easily room for 2, probably more like 4. The ADV riders swear by them, weight worth packing.

Well Idaho is closer to the west coast than say Arkansa... ;)
-

Hey Chet,
If I have any chance of getting mama to go she will need to be in comfort, I booked the penthouse suite on the top floor of ralley central already... ;)
Gumbi,
If you want to do the cabin thing at the campgrounds with Chet and Jeremy no worries, just let me know and I can cancel your hotel room without $ penalty as long as I do it in advance.
-

True dat.
Chet I like the tent, but my wife has to have running water. I might have to buy one of those anyways though. That would work great for Run21. www.run21.biz (http://www.run21.biz)

I just picked up a really nice Kelty two man tent that should work well for me and my gear. I really hope I can make this trip!

Wow.....a rally on the West Coast......I might try to make it out. I am brand new to the COG and still have yet to commit to the COG thing. Figured I would check out the site and try to meet some folks first.

Well, as a Coug fan I assume your'e in the Pullman area?
-
Booked my room.
-
Anyone interested in splitting a cabin. Sleeps 3-4 and is only $40 a night. Pretty good deal IMO when a tent site is $20+. Includes four walls, roof, fan, but no bedding. I know I will be camping on the trip out and back from the rally but if I can sleep on a real mattress while I am there then I will probably do it since it is so cheap.

I am interested. I am assuming there is electricity as well? I use a CPAP machine and need to be plugged in.

There is an outlet and ceiling fan (those are about the only amenities). I asked about electricity since I would need a spot to recharge my phone and SENA every evening.

Only 9 hr ride......this i will make as well!
-
I'll meet you in Tahoe, we can have twins heading north.

Booked my room.
Cancelled my room as I won't be able to make the 2013 rally. However, ZG and Gumby, I will be up in your neck of the woods in summer sometime. Lets hook up at McMenamins-Edgefield and maybe a ride one day as well.

Connecting in Portland though still sounds good MP, let us know the dates when it get's closer. :chugbeer:

If I wasn't taking a moto trip to New Mexico a few weeks before that, I would love to attend this.
-
Hmmm... I rode through there this summer. And the same thing happened this year. The year before I rode through Arkansas.
