Dances_With_Wiener_Dogs Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Any accomodations left there? Share a room. (im not an axe murderer) Yeah, but do you snore? There should be plenty of motel rooms left, just follow directions at the beginning of the thread. See you in July! Link to comment
JamesW Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Might as well make it sense it is less than 100 miles from Baker City, OR. Link to comment
Beagler Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I'm in, maybe... If I have enough vacation time saved by then. With all the health problems I've had this year I have used up all of my time off. Also, I was wondering why Tuesday to Friday? Thursday to Sunday would have been better. And... Will we be able to camp at the Fairgrounds on Friday the 11th? Don't be too hard on me if both of these questions have been answered already. Link to comment

The Un has always been on the weekdays, so that the usual weekenders of campers and the recreational RV traffic and other folks are NOT sharing the roads with us. Yes you can camp on Friday. Any more questions? Keep them coming! Link to comment
AZBMW Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I little tweaking a little schedule moving......... and I am in. Got reservation at Best Western. Not much of a camper, but the ride looks great. Headed out from Phoenix on quick ride to site, up past Grand Canyon, Salt Lake City and into ID then OR. Afterwards I will be taking lazy way back through west coast. May go to BC and work my way back down. Will probably drop bike off at a relatives in Santa Barbara, CA and fly back to PHX from there. I then have excuse to go over to CA in summers high heat to ride bike around coast. Then bring back in September after Laguna Seca. This will work out great for my summer. Link to comment
onedae Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'm IN. Reservation made for 7/8-7/11 at Americas Best Value Inn. I'm ready to go NOW!! Link to comment
bigmak Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hey, Phil, I hope to see you at the July UN 7. If you fly, have you checked rentals in the Portland area? I remember a small Southern OR town a few years back that rented an FJR--your kind of ride--so maybe Stumptown might have something similar. Hey Phil, grow some legs and then get my 1150 GS running so you can use it I guess it's time to clean out the 5th wheel, or build a new trailer (it hasn't moved since Jamie and Leslie last saw it in 2004. I didn't want to disturb the spider webs ) Doc mentioned to me maybe having a gathering out on some land I have along the Imnaha river (one canyon due west of the Hell's Canyon Dam). I cleared it a few years ago, but haven't been able to get back there since. I don't want to get hopes up, but I would love to have a BBQ, sweat hut, and river plunge. I own to the middle of the wild and scenic river, and it was the spiritual valley of the Nez Perce. (Doc can be our Unshamin) It is north of the fish hatchery, and is also the first property north of the Pallette Ranch (google Eugene Pallette). I think its about 16 miles north of the Hells Canyon overlook, on 49, then turning on the Upper Imnaha Rd., about 6 miles of gravel to Mustang Way. There are bears, cougars, salmon swimming by, eagles overhead, and I just read online http://www.wallowacountychieftain.info/m...onID=14&S=1 that my closest neighbor (1 mile away), just saw a black wolf. So I hope to get my act together months prior and make the spot bike® friendly. Link to comment

Uggles Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Well it looks as if it might be a real UN Rally what with folks coming from the US, the UK, Canada and now Oz……… Yep the family is heading over there on the 21st June. We’ll lob in LA for a week and do the Disneyland thing (Just for the little ‘un, you understand?) and the Universal Studios and MGM thing (for the SO) then hire a cage and head over to Vegas for a gekko. We then plan to take a leisurely drive north and end up in John Day to say geday in person to all and sundry. Unfortunately we have to depart LA on the 11th to get back home to work on the 14th. That’s roughly it. Any and all suggestions as to what to see and where to go on the trip up would be appreciated. PM or email is fine. Cheers, Link to comment
marcopolo Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Well it looks as if it might be a real UN Rally what with folks coming from the US, the UK, Canada and now Oz……… Mark, it will be great to have you in John Day, even if it's not on two wheels. Link to comment

flyingreg Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I just made my reservations for camping at the fairgrounds. As of today, there is only one other camper. Come on folks, are you going to let me and one other camper have the entire fairgrounds to ourselves? So, just who is planning to camp at the UN? Step up and be counted! Link to comment
Paul_Burkett Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 A lot of us are, but this is a bit early to be staking out a piece of dirt when we will probably be the only group there. http://bmwsporttouring.com/ubbthreads/sh...0&fpart=all Link to comment
hANNAbONE Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 i wONDER if "Jack" will show up at camp?? pHILLY?? tOOL?? sIGNMAN?? any word on "Jack"??? Link to comment
Signman Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 "Jack" did somebody say "Jack"? Yes! "Jack" will be there. BUT, Sue & I will not be camping, as we will be cellebrating our 30th anniversary on the 11th, I will be treating her to a room. But since the room will be walking distance from the park, we will be spending plenty of time at the camp grounds with our friends and "Jack" After all, what's a party without him? Link to comment

bendbill Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Steve, My UN plans are unraveling. I must work on 8 and 9. I *hope* for an early [exit 3:30 pm] on the 10th and then jet over from Bend to stay 10th and 11th--maybe 12th. I assume there is no half-price registration, so I'll share a campsite with friends/family at Clyde Holliday State Park about 5 miles out of town. That's the plan for now Hope to see a few folks I've met before, as well as meet new ones. Link to comment
Tony_K Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Sorry it took me so long to get registered! Shirt design is in the works... Lori & Tony will see y'all there! Link to comment
ittech Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I just registered, it's so close I can't miss it... Probably will leave Santa Rosa on Saturday and either wind up slowly or go hiking in lassen for a day on the way up. Not sure if I will follow up this year's UN with a 3 week cross country trip, but it'll still be awesome! Link to comment

Paul Mihalka Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I was IN since October, but now I'm IN officially! My head is already on the road. My maps are all over with yellow highlights.

tgregg Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Is it to late to try and attend the un rally? Hell No,Get it done,I need to meet some new people that have not heard my jokes,,, Great, I'm working on it. Is there a schedule on one of the long strings. I'm going to camp at the fairgrounds I think. I used to do 850 miles in a day (distance from home), wonder if I still can :=) Link to comment
Dances_With_Wiener_Dogs Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi Greg, There is never a "too late" regarding the Un. You can even show up at the gate and still participate (you might just get your tee-shirt afterwards). Follow these links for the schedule and the registration page. Although the advance registration closes in late June, you can still come. Our headquarters will be the Fairgrounds. If you follow this link you'll see this info about camping along with a list of other good references: Headquarters Grant County Fairgrounds 411 NW Bridge St. Phone: 541-575-1900 Amenities: UnRally Headquarters, showers, picnic tables, WiFi, eating pavilion Prices: $5 per tent, extra $5 for electricity. Yes they can park RVs. No, I don’t know exactly how much… If you have any other questions please post them here or send me a PM. Thanks! Link to comment
tgregg Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks, that looks like what I needed. I dug out all my camping gear today and everything looks usable after sitting a few years. It has been a couple of years since I've been with the good folks at BMEST, not sure what to call it, still BMWRT to me I guess! Link to comment
Dances_With_Wiener_Dogs Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 88 folks and counting! Woot! Link to comment
