Yosemite Pines RV Resort. Activities this weekend will definitely include a trip to Yosemite, about an hour from the RV park. Big rigs might find the roads a bit challenging, so plan on carpooling. The park has awesome shuttle busses available to take us on two-hour narrated tram tour to all the best spots. Thursday, Friday and Monday will be better options for a visit to the park. We’ll plan on reserving Saturday and Sunday to simply enjoy the company of fellow FreeWheelers. This will be a Tiki/Hawaiian-themed weekend with fun activities and some very cool prizes. Please bring out your most colorful shorts and shirts. A few appropriate rig decorations might also be in order. Along with our usual food-based activities, we will have a karaoke contest and a fruit-and-veggie centerpiece contest. Create a clever centerpiece out of produce, but make sure it doesn’t require refrigeration—it has to last until voting is completed Saturday night. Campsites are $35/night for Friday and Saturday nights; $32.50/night for Thursday and Sunday nights for full hookups. There are a few pull-through sites; if you need a pull-through, please indicate this on your sign-up sheet. The cost per night includes a small amount to defray the rental fee of the clubhouse and kitchen. Cabins, tent cabins and yurts are also available. These accommodations need to be reserved directly with the park management, but they will offer the 15 percent group discount if you mention that you are with the FreeWheelers group. For more information about this park, go to www.yosemitepinesrv.com. The sites are woodsy, mostly level and terraced in many cases. The roads through the campground are gentle gravel inclines or paved; there are no steep roads and all the common areas—like the clubhouse and store—are paved. There is a great swimming pool, and the restrooms have been recently remodeled. WiFi is free and works great, as does the free cable TV. We will have exclusive use of the terrific clubhouse, which has good air conditioning and a great kitchen with a regular stove and oven that is perfect for preparing biscuits and gravy. Directions: Use www.mapquest.com for directions to this park. (The Yahoo and Google sites send you out of the way.) Plan a stop in Groveland for lunch or dinner at the Iron Door Saloon, California’s oldest continuously operating saloon. Recommended by RVW members, the food in this establishment is great and the atmosphere is not to be missed. The reservation deadline for this rally is July 1. For rally and registration information, contact hosts Arlene Huffman and Marlene Morrison at huffmorr@sbcglobal.net.

This will be followed by lunch and time for browsing the historic Stockyard area. We might also take a side trip to visit the famous Billy Bob’s.
We will also make time for the fun and frivolity Texas Ramblin’ Roses are known for. We will share potlucks and laughter, perhaps take in a round of gold, and have a specially catered Western meal.
Rally hosts are Mary Grace Hornell, Patricia Dalton, Judy Amstutz and Sue Tyrone.
