Well, this is the rally for you. It will be low-key with lots of relaxation. Many of the activities such as hiking on Soldier Creek Loop and other trails, mountain biking, and equestrian trails to the top of a hill are right in the State Park. The trails wind through forests, meadows, streams, and rugged hills, and there’s no shortage of plants and wildlife to enjoy along the way. Head to the Soldier Creek Loop for a quiet hike in the wilderness. We will go on a scenic drive through beautiful Smiley canyon. The scenic drive will take you from the Fort Robinson Camping Area through a beautiful canyon where you’ll see bison and pronghorn roaming freely.

The area has a long history and currently offers a wide range of activities and places to stay and explore the rich history of the land. From 1873 until after World War II, Fort Robinson served as a military camp, and many of its original buildings are still in use at the Fort Robinson State Park today. Find out just how tough life was for early settlers at the Museum of the Fur Trade in nearby Chadron. The museum stands on the site of an old trading post established for the American Fur Company in 1837. It houses an outstanding collection of trade goods, cutlery, textiles, costumes, and much more. The Houstons have a Chuck Wagon Steak Dinner as well as a Chuck Wagon Breakfast planned for us where we will dine on the plains of Nebraska. Susan has decided a live performance play called “Desperate Measures, A Musical Comedy Gone Wild" would be great fun. All these activities are right at the State Park.

If you would like to join us, here is the link for tickets: https://postplayhouse.com Join us for a fun free local rodeo right on the grounds! Plan to spend extra time in or around the area.

________________________________________
Hi all! I hope that you are looking forward to Angel Fire as much as we are! We’re lining things up now but we want to give you an idea of what is a very soft itinerary at this point. I’ll prepare packages of information regarding each day’s activities to you. Angel Fire resort is booked full so anyone without reservations, or if you’re talking to friends about this rally who have not made reservations, the Monte Verde RV Resort is our backup. Here’s our “soft” itinerary thus far:
Day 1: July 18. Arrive at Angel Fire. No one wants to cook that first night so we’ll be hosting you for dinner at Angel Fire Resort. We have a room reserved so all you need to bring is your beverage of choice.
Day 2: July 19. Time to stretch those legs and enjoy the serenity of Angel Fire. There are hiking trails, a golf course, the ski lift. Please let me know if you want to golf and I’ll try to negotiate a group price. In the evening, we’ll be providing heavy appetizers so ladies, forget cooking dinner again. We’ll gather around our coach to watch the video about the Angel Fire Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The history of this memorial is astounding. It precedes the Wall.
Day 3: July 20. We will have a private tour of the memorial. There is a very small charge which we can individually pay there. Dinner will be at the Peruvian Restaurant, individual checks, and they will explain the ties between Peruvian cuisine and New Mexico cuisine.
Day 4: July 21. We will travel to Taos, approximately 30-45 minutes to board the Trolley Tours for a historic and cultural tour of Taos. You’ll find out, among other things, why the original church at Taos Pueblo is in ruins; why so many doors and windows are painted blue; who were Ernest Blumenschein and Bert Phillips; who was the famous in-crowd in Taos in the 1920’s; who was Patrocinio Barela and how he did. That and a whole lot more! Altria, the woman who owns the company has agreed to a discounted price of $45 each. She is increasing her prices due to gas costs (something to which we all can relate!) in May to $50. However, We need to send her payment mid June to lock us in. So if you’d like to do this, please send us your checks by June 1. After the tour, we’re coordinating lunch at a historic restaurant on the plaza called The Alley Cantina. Still waiting to confirm a reservation. Then, Altria is providing a 20% off one item in her boutique on the plaza. Spend the rest of your day enjoying Taos or head back to Angel Fire. Taos is replete with galleries and museums that I know you’ll enjoy.
Day 5: July 22. We continue our drive on the Golden Circle to Red River, a cute little town where we can have lunch and sightsee. The Golden Circle is a drive through the area with breathtaking scenery and a host of small towns. We’re working on coordinating a lunch spot where we can be assured of reservations. More to follow.
Day 6: July 23. Our last full day here. Time to kick back and free flow. In your package, we’ll provide a list of things to see and do. Plenty of restaurants in the area so you can avoid cooking the entire trip.
Day 7: July 24. We depart, with fond memories of new friends and beautiful Angel Fire and Taos. As with all Cuatro Estades rallies, you are under no obligation to participate in any of the days events. The only commitment we need by June 1 is for the Taos Trolley Tour and you check for $45/pp. As we get closer, we’ll send out a firm itinerary with restaurant names, etc.

2022 Rally Reports
March 1-7 Las Vegas rally
Las Vegas Rally Report, March 1-7
Rallymasters-Becky Coulter & Diana McVey
There were 24 attendees at the rally in Las Vegas, Nevada: the Coulters, McVey/Skaug, Dorseys, Gainsfords, Houstons, Thornton/Jeffery, Buckinghams, Thomas’, Wrights, Millers, Herreras, and Hoovers (guests of the Coulters).
The weather was very warm and welcoming the first night for the annual meeting and happy hour in the club house. Residents of Las Vegas Dee and Carole Ennis came to the meeting/happy hour to pick up t-shirts and meet the CE’s. Minutes of the meeting will be sent under separate cover.
The second day was spent doing various things as chosen by the attendees. The group met downtown on Fremont Street at the Heart Attack Grill; being that it was Lent, several went to a fish place. The Heart Attack Grill was a strange experience where you dined in hospital gowns, drank wine from an IV bag, and got spanked if you didn’t finish your meal. Some seemed to enjoy the spankings a little too much. One patron who weighed over 300 lbs. got weighed in and cheered on by the crowd as he ate a free meal of saturated fats. Richard, our tour guide, took us on a downtown LV walking tour that night. Bright neon lights, LOUD music, zip lines, street performers, and panhandlers had some of us feeling as if we had descended into another world. We learned about the mob and this tourist hotspot that grew out of the hot and parched Mojave Desert.
Friday was windy but not too bad in the canyons. The Valley of Fire was a hit among the hikers who departed at 7:30am with Estella Herrera in the lead. They saw the Fire Wave and White Domes along the Seven Wonders Loop. The hikers then went on to hike to the old townsite of St. Thomas, which is considered the "Atlantis Ghost Town of Nevada" because it was flooded 60 years ago by construction of the Hoover Dam. It is now emerging due to the receding waters of Lake Mead. They logged 6 miles and were tired when they got back.
Those who drove and walked in the Valley of Fire enjoyed it as well.
Saturday was very windy and cold, and no one went on the Historic Railroad Hiking Trail for fear that they would get blown off the mountain.
Saturday evening was the James Bond Themed Potluck. Frank Thornton and Betsy Jeffery manned the bar where they made martinis and served champagne for the toasts. The food was amazing. We had bangers, twice baked potatoes, pasties, fish pie, pork pie, meat pie, peas, and Shepard’s pie followed by cupcakes and a wonderful British trifle. The costumes were amazing (the Queen of England and Pussy Galore graced us with their presence), and the background music was from James Bond movies. Buck Buckingham, aka Dark Snake, won the competition for the best spy. He completed his missions first and had the best score on his quiz. Professional photos were taken by our own Joe Thomas. Thank you, Joe! To see more of his pictures, go to our website photo gallery at cuatroestados.com.
Sunday was spent at the Red Rock National Conservation Area or other destinations as people desired. Thornton/Jeffery, Herreras’ and Thomas’ hiked 4 miles.
On Monday, some departed for home while others stayed on for a couple of days to see more of what Vegas and the surrounding area had to offer. Everyone said they had a great time.
