NoWACA 10th Anniversary Rally

Alpine and Jeep, site 17
The Bend-Sisters Garden RV Resort is a great gathering spot and a well-appointed resort, close to both towns

Thirty-five Alpine coaches converged and looked quite awesome lined up side-by-side.

We had a great time celebrating 10 years of NoWACA rallies: 
  • gathering under the big tent for meals and meetings
  • spending time with old friends and making new ones
  • eating far too much thanks to the wonderful meals prepared by our hosts
  • chatting and laughing a lot
  • exchanging travel experiences and making notes about future spots to investigate
  • playing games, exploring the area, and generally having fun

Our rally hosts, once again, out-did themselves, hosting a memorable gathering. As a memento of the anniversary, each coach couple was gifted with a handmade bag to carry our utensils and plates, featuring the NoWACA logo. 
four "crafty"  NoWACA seamstresses sewed a bag for
each couple, with a name tag, and separate outside
pocket to hold utensils  - these are very handy to carry
our table setting to our meals

We look forward to future rallies with our home-territory group. The NoWACA Alpine family keeps on growing, and we welcomed three new couples and their new-to-them coaches. One first-time attendee couple were hooked on the first evening and during the introductions declared they were having so much fun that they were already looking forward to the next rally. NoWACA folks rock!
