Hello Fellow Chinook Members,
Here we are at the end of our Chinook Rallies for 2021! We’re really glad that all our rallies for this year turned out so well!
We are especially proud and thankful that our 18th Annual Rally was simply wonderful and fun. Our hosts for this rally, Sue and David DeMartini, really amazed us with their dedication, and thoughtful ideas, like the gift bags upon arrival which had lots of great items in it (see below).
The Mountain Valley RV Resort was just the most amazing resort I’ve ever seen, and did we ever enjoy being there! This RV Resort has earned the Good Sam 10/10/10 award!
We arrived at the Rally on Sunday, September 19. For us, the trip took a couple of days, and we had a lot of fun getting there. We stopped for the first night at the McArthur’s Temple View RV Resort in St. George, Utah, where we met up with Jan Pavia and John Colabella, new members we had gotten to know at the July Canyonville Rally. We had a pleasant evening visiting with them, and the next morning headed on to the Rally!
As at many of our rallies, a lot of our gatherings take place in the great outdoors. Our first gathering for the Meet and Greet was no exception, and not even heavy winds could dampen our spirits as we came together to enjoy barbecued burgers and dogs, thanks to David’s great efforts at the barbecue in spite of the weather.
The next day, we held our Tech Talk at a perfect spot for having this, where there were a lot of questions about everything RV related. Later that day, we enjoyed pizzas from the Cucina Rustico Pizza Truck, and they really were great!
After that we boarded a bus to the Heber Valley Historic Railroad. This was an exciting and different experience, as the railroad has been there since 1899! But before we got on the train, we were excited to experience an old-time gunfight that was really fun to watch! Then we boarded the train, and it was really a great experience, as the train took us for a long ride around Heber Valley, and then we were treated to some live music with Fiddles, and everyone was stomping their feet and having a great time! I was especially thrilled to witness the rising of the full moon over the mountains.
At our Annual Meeting on Tuesday night Mary Coleman was unanimously reelected Treasurer, and Jane Earley was unanimously reelected Member at Large. I was very happy that these two important positions were filled so easily, thanks to Mary and Jane volunteering to continue in their positions.
Later that night, the water pressure was high enough to cause a problem at the input on the side of our rig, and we woke up in the middle of the night with a damp carpeting outside the bathroom and galley. Luckily, we had several old towels in the rig which we used to mop up the water in the carpet. We managed to get it dried out before we left for home, and I was able to buy a new water regulator at the office, and discard the old one, which had failed.
Rallies Request
For next year, we really need some help getting two more Mini Rallies. PLEASE help keep the RV club running by hosting a Mini Rally close to where you live! Debbie will help you put it together, and she created step-by-step instructions to make it happen!

UPCOMING RALLIES SNAPSHOT |
|
One of the most important purposes of the Chinook RV Club is to get together at rallies, where we can visit with old friends, get to know new ones, talk about our Chinooks, share all the great places to see on our travels, trade books, and do all sorts of fun stuff together.
Sue and David DeMartini stepped up to host their very first rally about 26 miles from their home, and they did a fantastic job! You can read all about it in this newsletter.
What about you?
I tell you, once Bob and I hosted our first rally, we were hooked. We got to pick the place, so we didn't have to travel far if we didn't want to, our site was free, and the club gave us a budget to cover some of the stuff for the rally, like the first night Meet and Greet wine and dinner. Even though we love hosting, it's best for the club to have a lot of different hosts at different locations.
This year we had Arizona, Oregon and Utah rallies. How about one or two in California? After all, it's a pretty big state!

We just can't thank Sue and David DeMartini enough for choosing such a beautiful spot and putting on a stupendous annual rally!
We had 25 Chinookers in 14 rigs (7 Concourse, 4 Destiny, 1 Cascade, 1 Glacier, and 1 Beaver Marquis - the Jensens own a Glacier too, but decided to bring their Beaver this trip).

Sunday:
When we arrived, our gracious hosts greeted us with excitement and a gift bag with snacks, a Where Should We Camp Next book, The Official Park City Guide & Coupon Book, an Attendee List/Schedule, and a copy of the lyrics to The Chinook Song.
We had a great first night with our Chinook family. It was really windy for our Meet and Greet, but David bravely manned the BBQ, and Sue made everyone feel welcome. While trying to keep our paper plates from flying off the table into parts unknown, I remembered that, hidden away back in our rig, we had four sturdy camping plates made of steel with a speckled enamel coating (anybody remember those?) leftover from our tent camping days in the 70s. They sure came in handy that night!
|
|
Many retreated to the warmth of their rigs right after, but Bob found a fireplace inside the clubhouse, and a few of us took the party inside. Okay, so the party didn't last as long as the parties of our youth, but many of us had driven all day, so getting back to our rig at 8:30 seemed just about right. |
|
Monday:
This was a busy day. Mid-morning we gathered for our Tech Talk where a lot of great info is always exchanged.
In addition to a bunch of technical discussions, there were some great product suggestions. Jim Weidmaier recommended replacing the bathroom light bulbs with brighter Silvania 1156 LED Light Bulbs. Bob ordered some, but the light fixture in Jim's 2002 Destiny is different than in our 2001 Destiny.
Jane Earley talked about some compact products to use in the RV. She got many of them at Daiso Japan stores, but they're also available elsewhere. She recommended bar mats for draining dishes. You can get small ones from Bed, Bath & Beyond and Diaso Japan, but you can also get small and larger ones at Amazon.com: Bar Mats. We have one in the rig and one at home. Jane also showed us her PackTowl that you can get from Amazon, REI, other sporting goods stores, and Walmart. These microfiber towels are great! They're really absorbent and wring out easily. Bob and I love them!
Lyn Erickson told us about some really convenient Earthwash Laundry Sheets, and we'll probably get some to keep in the rig.
Dale Frank took this opportunity to surprise everybody with wooden plaques his daughter had engraved with the Chinook Song. What a wonderful memento!
|
|
Late afternoon we gathered at the Pavilion for a Pizza Party! Everybody ordered and bought their own pizzas from the Cucina Rustico Pizza Truck. They were delicious. What a great idea! |
|
Later we were off by bus to the Heber Valley Historic Railroad. Before we boarded the Cowboy Train we went through the gift shop, where I resisted buying a bunch of stuff for the grandkids, but Bob bought himself a "Classic Pull-back Locomotive." Yep, he can't deny it, he's still a kid at heart. Then, to get us all in an Old West mood, as if wearing our Cowboy hats wasn't enough, we got to see a old fashioned gunfight! |
|
The train ride was a real hoot! We stomped our feet, sang along with music and, I don't know about anyone else, but I did some serious dancing in my seat. We got a real kick out of watching kids dance in the aisles and thoroughly enjoyed a group of fantastic young fiddlers. All this was going on while we were taking in the beautiful scenery. |
|
Some people were really, really excited to be riding the train . . . even having trouble just staying in their seats. I'm not just talking about the little kids jumping up and down and dancing in the aisles. But, I don't know, you be the judge. Do you think Jim's enjoying himself?
After the 90-minute train ride we boarded the bus again for the short trip back to the resort. Everyone was in good spirits, but looking forward to getting into the comfort of their rigs before the temperature began to drop.
We had gotten a Freeze Warning that it was going to get into the 20s that night from a few fellow Chinookers and from the resort office, so before heading out for the train we had added some water to our fresh water tank, turned off the city water, disconnected our hose, and drained all the water out of it, so it wouldn't freeze.
|
|
Tuesday:
Sue had come up with an idea of having a Treasure Trail instead of our usual book exchange, so by mid-morning we ventured from rig to rig to see what treasures people had put out. There was still a nice selection of books, but there were also audio books, DVDs, games, puzzles, household items, tools, tote bags, padfolios, etc.
|
|
That night we gathered in the Section 2 Clubhouse for our Western-style Group Picture, a Mexican Fiesta and our Annual Business Meeting. There was a lot of boisterous pool playing, laughter and camaraderie, quizzical study of the Mystery Picture Board (and the most surprising reveal), hearty enjoyment of food and alcohol, and . . . we even remembered to hold the business meeting! |

Mountain Valley RV Resort
Heber City, Utah 84032
September 21, 2021
I. Call to Order:
The meeting was called to order by President Bob Shetland at 7:34 pm at the Mountain Valley RV Resort in Heber City, Utah.
II. Attendance/Quorum:
President Shetland declared that we could proceed with the club's business since there were enough members to establish a quorum. (15 required votes)
Bob & Debbie Shetland, Mary Coleman, David & Sue DeMartini, Jane & Jerry Earley, Dale & Mary Frank, Barbara & Ole Jensen, Doug Tyler, Jim & Nancy Donald, Roger & Lyn Erickson, Jan Pavia & John Colabella, Jim Scharff, Vern & Mimi Starks, and Jim & Marnie Weidmaier; plus the proxies of Mike & Judy Davidson, Dave & Patsy Shehane, and Mary Esther Chavarela (having delegated their voting rights to vote with the majority in their absence).
III. Minutes:
The minutes from the General Meeting on October 18, 2019 at the Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall in Las Vegas have been published on-line in the November 2019 Road Runner Newsletter. Jim Donald made the motion to accept the minutes as published. Debbie Shetland seconded. Motion passed.
IV. Treasurer's Report:
Treasurer Mary Coleman gave the year-to-date Annual treasurer's report for fiscal year ending September 30, 2021. Beginning balance (10/01/20) was $6,824.62. Income for year totaled $3,400.00. Expenses for rallies, bank charges, printing, postage and supplies totaled $1,267.68, leaving an ending balance of $8,996.94 as of September 22, 2021. Jerry Earley made the motion to accept the report and Dale Frank seconded. Motion carried by voice vote.
V. Vice President of Membership Report:
Vice President of Membership, Dave Shehane, via telephone call, reported that currently we have 91 members of record. As of September 21, 2021, 56% have paid for 2021-2022 with 40 members outstanding as of this date.

Scheduled rallies for 2022:
- August 18-21, 2022 - Glen Ayr Hood Canal Waterfront Resort, Hoodsport, Washington, hosted by Dale and Mary Frank. Dale Frank talked about the resort and the Hoodsport area, and Debbie encouraged everyone interested in going to make their reservations early, as it is a small resort and spaces may fill up fast, especially considering all the interest generated by postings on the “I Love My Chinook RV” Facebook page, which may gain us some new members who could fill our spaces quickly.
Debbie asked members present to consider hosting a rally in 2022. She said that Mary Coleman may do an October Annual Rally in Arizona, as the weather should still be warm there, but we still need a couple more mini rallies; ideally one in each of the first quarters of the year. Debbie reminded members that rally hosts have a budget to help with rally expenses ($500 for a mini and $1,200 for an annual), which includes covering the host's site.
VII. Nominations:
President Shetland announced that there were two Board positions that were open for election this year: Treasurer and one of our Co-Members-at-Large.
He asked for nominations from the floor for Treasurer. Debbie Shetland nominated Mary Coleman to continue as Treasurer. Mary agreed to continue for another term. Jerry Earley made a motion to elect Mary Coleman. Bob Shetland seconded the motion. Motion carried by voice vote.
Bob then asked for nominations from the floor for Co-Member-at-Large. Debbie Shetland nominated Jane Earley to continue as Co-Member-at-Large. Jane agreed to continue for another term. Mary Coleman made a motion to elect Jane Earley. Dale Frank seconded the motion. Motion carried by voice vote.
VIII. Old/Unfinished Business:
No old business.

From: "If an initial application is accepted after August 1st the dues shall be regarded as covering the next membership year."
To: "If an initial application is accepted after June1st the dues shall be regarded as covering the next membership year.”
He said if this change is approved, Secretary Patsy Shehane will also add to the list of changes, "ARTICLE III MEMBERS, SECTION 8 DUES AND FEES, c. INITIAL APPLICATION changed to align our bylaws with Chinook Camping Club (CCC) and promote member retention. September 21, 2021”
Jane Earley made a motion to accept this change to the By-Laws. Dale Frank seconded. Motion carried by voice vote.
X. Adjournment:
Motion to adjourn was made by Mary Coleman. It was seconded by Jane Earley. Motion carried by voice vote. Meeting adjourned at 8:20 pm.
Respectfully submitted
Debbie Shetland, acting for the Secretary

Wednesday:
This was a day of rest and preparing for our Potluck that night. We were again in the Section 2 Clubhouse, where it was rarely quiet at the pool table, the food was aplenty and delicious, and we ended the evening with the festive singing of the Chinook Song. But before that Sue happily thanked Jim Donald, a real hero and miracle worker, for finding her hearing aid, which had been lost two days before at the Tech Talk.
And, of course, the entire group let Sue and David know how much we appreciated all the work they put into planning and bringing about such a wonderful rally. After expressing our appreciation to Sue and David, we presented them with a card that Sue graciously read aloud. She, in turn, thanked everyone else who helped out at the rally. What a wonderful group of people we have in our club!
|
|
Thursday:
Alas, it was Thursday morning, and we had to say goodbye, until the next time.
Thanks again to Sue and David DeMartini for hosting this rally. Thanks for doing so much to make sure our 18th Annual Rally was a wonderful event for us all. You're the best!

Nevada Digital Sign Contest |

Bob and I spotted an interesting sign on our way home from the Heber City Rally (the first one you see below). I was so intrigued that I did a Google search right way. Apparently Nevada held a contest and selected the top three messages that periodically rotate on electronic freeway signs statewide. Here they are for your amusement: |

Great Forum for Technical Questions |
|
A valuable resource that is not a part of the club is the free group site ChinookRVOwners, which I run and moderate. Most all members of the club are members of the site as well but there are many that are not part of the club. This forum is mostly technical – troubleshooting, problem solving, references and questions. Link is https://groups.io/g/Chinookrvowners. This site was at Yahoo Groups for nearly 15 years and is now moved to groups.io. ~ Dave Shehane, V.P. Membership and Webmaster

To Join the Chinook RV Club Facebook Page |
|
Our Facebook Page is private and hidden, so if you haven't already joined, there's a little process you need to follow:
- If a club member wants to join our club's FB page they must first be signed up with Facebook.
- I can only send invitations to FB Friends, so send me a friend request.
- I will then issue an invitation to the club's FB page, which the member must accept to complete the process.
- Then, I will “unfriend” the member in my personal FB account. Please do not take this as a slight! Our friendship will still exist at the Chinook RV Club page, but there is no telling if our social media preferences align, and I do not want to take a chance that our individual preferences would in any way endanger our Chinook related relationship!
