I'll try to add some new info that has not been readily available regarding this rally and the fairgrounds
Here is a link that show the fair grounds layout www.sonomacountyfair.com/fi_map.php
The RV park is located to the extreme south across from gate seven. Shows as horse trailer parking but not true.
All activities/seminars will take place at Finley, Garrett and Kraft buildings. The plan is to place vendors along Lindwood so that all would pass by the vendors from the RV park to get to the activity buildings. The distance from the RV park area to the Activity buildings is about 3/8+ mile. Many of the members will have vans and cars to help with those who do not wish to walk.
Current thought is that there are several nearby dump station close to Linwood. Power and water are available along Linwood.
Do a google satellite view for more info. HERE
WE, Western States, have arranged for dinner on Saturday night for our members. More importantly, since we are in the midst of CA wine country we have also set up a late afternoon Saturday wine tasting and non alcoholic beverage with excellent snacks for all, for a charge of $10.per person. The tasting will be at the Jockey Club, and can be paid at registration for all early arrivals.
BTW the Jockey club offers nationwide off-track betting as well as excellent lunches for a three dollar fee in a nice setting.
Please direct any comments about the facility to Ray. Any questions about WS to me.

President GMC Western States
For all of you coming out to the rally March 30 - April 5, there are some other happenings that you might want to see. The weekend of March 28 - 30, there will be a horse show (Arabians, we think) happening at the fairgrounds. For those of you into horsepower, instead of horses, there will be a vintage car race happening at Infinion Raceway (the ex- Sears Point track) running from April 4 thru the 6 and spectators are more than welcome. Also happening that weekend is the Boat and RV show at the fairgrounds. (NOTE: Free admission to rally attendees!)
Hope to see everyone at the rally - we are really trying to pull out all of the stops to make this the best rally GMCMI has ever held in California!! Be prepared for vendor surprises.

Everyone had a great time!
Just 7 miles North of the incredible Kartchner Caverns.
Located 1 mile south of I-10 on Hwy 90. Spotless, paved,
modern RV resort. Two clubhouses. Pool, spa, large outdoor covered
patio area, easy access sites with 50/30A hookups. Pull through
spaces at the clubhouse for vendors, all GMCs will be parked together.
Hands on demos and journey repairs are permitted. Nearby attractions
include ghost towns, Kartchner Caverns, Cochise Stronghold, Tombstone
City, Pima Air museum, Fort Huachuca museums, Bisbee, Casinos, and the
San Pedro River, one of the premier riparian areas in the US. Plenty
of ghost towns for explorers.
Two "free" days because of all the sightseeing and a two day flea
market. Bring your treasures. Open coach will occur over these two
free days and in two separate groups to encorage "newbys" and Oldbys
to explore others coaches .
Weather this time of year will be in the upper 70's, lower 80's
during the day and gentle breezes and 60's at night. Expect 10-15%
humidity and no rain.
This rally is targeted to bring in vendors and encourage flea market
participation. Meals will hopefully rise to the standards of past
GMCWS rallys. (Tough row to hoe here.)
