It's a nice park to stay in if you are in the area. Lot's to do: the casino, local wineries, Old Town Temecula and many other sites to visit. Thursday we all traveled to a 50's style dinner for dinner and everyone enjoyed it. The decorations were just as I remembered from my teen age years, good job. The food was the best part. I would give a 4+ star rating from burgers to top quality steaks. Try Richie's Real American Diner 32150 US-79 S Temecula CA 92592. Friday, our trail boss's thought it would be fun to have a Chili cook off. 11of us cooked our "signature" chili's. What a treat for those of us that really enjoy chili. Card games were played after dinner. At noon on Friday, our own Donna Bass arranged a wonderful tour for us. We were given a tour of the grounds around the resort. Did you know that on the Pechanga grounds there is an Oak tree that is believed to be up to 2200 years old? "The great oak" is the largest naturalgrowing indigenous coast live oak in the United States. The local Pechanga tribe controls the grounds and is not giving tours at this time 1 but they hope to resume them soon. You can see it from the Pala and Pechanga Parkway intersection. The person giving the tour was very informative and we all learned a lot about the history of the area including a lot of native American history in the area. Saturday we had a great breakfast then a general meeting. Everyone did their own thing in the afternoon. Some went to the Casino, some went shopping, and others played card games. We had Happy Hour at 5:00 then we were all treated to a great Chile Verde dinner cooked by our hosts. Everyone had a great time. Sunday some, including myself needed to get home for Mothers Day, others stayed. I would like to thank all for coming. A special thank you to Beverly and Allen Jones and Jackie and Gene LeMuer for a great job of cooking and organizing the rally. They did a fantastic job! Glen Blankenship

Here are a few pictures showing folks having fun at the Rally. We had some guests from Australia, Kevin and Lynde Campbell. Also joining us were Ray and Ann McDaniel from FMCA. A snapshot of the famous Great Oak Tree from the Pachanga Indian Reservation follows. 2

Sue Fuller provided this collage of our Jazzaffair outing with Ursie Fisher as Coordinator. The potluck was great and we gained new members Bob and Sherrie Emmerling at this event. 3

HOSPITALITY REPORT LOIS HUFF Hi Everyone, I haven't heard from anyone lately so I'm assuming all is well out there. We did hear that Tony Fraley was having surgery June 18th. I have not confirmed that yet. Curtis Jones is recuperating and up and kicking. Skootch Schoonover is doing well in his new 'digs'. - Meeting lots of new people!!! Bob Haines is feeling better after his bout with the shingles. Lou and I missed seeing you all on the last two rallies Understand we missed two great rallies. I always feel like we miss so much fun when we can't be at a rally. Hope you all sign up for the rallies in the fall and that you have a great summer. Let me know how well you are doing. Hugs to all. Lois 7

EDITOR S REPORT BY DONNA BASS ALSO KNOWN AS Missus Spintales Wow, we have had some fun times already this year. Couple things worth mentioning. We had a Chili Contest at the Pachanga Rally. Ursie Fisher took first place with Gene LeMeur coming in second, and Lois Jones third. We all got to sample the pots of chili that were made. My pot was not among the winners, and there was a lot leftover. I froze it, took it to a Memorial Day campout with our hunting and fishing club. Took third place in their Chile Cook Off. Something about chili it is better the second time around. Did you know that you can see copies of all the Gazettes that have been printed this year? Warren James has set up a web page for us.
