REGISTRATION IS OPEN for the 2020 Phoenix Cruiser Travel Club Reunion in Spearfish City in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The reunion runs from Sunday, September 20th until Friday, September 25th. Over half the sites have already been reserved so don’t wait if you want to attend. You must be a member of the travel club to attend. Membership is free this year. To join the club go to phoenixcruisertravelclub.org and submit a membership form. If you’re already a member log in to our website and submit a reunion registration form. Costs to attend the reunion are on the page with the registration form and range from $200 to $425 depending on the options chosen. You will receive an invoice for the reunion after you register. Anyone registering after our 80 person limit is reached will be put on a waiting list. The reunion fee will increase by $25.00 for registrations received on or after June 1st.
We will be camping at Spearfish City Park. There is SO much to see in the area that most people will want to book extra days at the campground. If you want to book extra days you MUST go through Holly to get your site assignment FIRST. We have a section of sites booked and are assigning them based on accessibility issues, size of rigs, and special needs or requests. Holly will coordinate with you so you won’t have to change sites for the reunion. Contact her at president@phoenixcruisertravelclub.org.
The reunion fee includes the cost of your campsite for 5 nights, four breakfasts, two dinners (one paid for by Phoenix USA), a group campfire, and an optional day trip. The day trip/bus tour will travel through beautiful Spearfish Canyon. You’ll have an opportunity to hike a short distance to a waterfall, visit the Homestake Gold Mine visitor center, spend some time in Deadwood where you can browse, shop, gamble and buy lunch before boarding a town bus for a historic/interpretive tour of the town and the cemetery, then make one final stop at “Tatonka – Story of the Bison” where you’ll find movie memorabilia from “Dances With Wolves”.
We will have an awesome gathering room right at the campground with kitchen and fireplace that is ours for the duration. It comes with two propane grills and a beautiful gathering area out front with a big group fire pit. The campground is on a stocked trout stream, next to the free historic D.C. Booth Fish Hatchery, and close to a big city park. The community walking/biking trail runs through the campground. It is a short walk into town and a quick hop onto a highway to reach other sites. There are restaurants, breweries and shopping nearby. Once you get there, you might not want to leave! If this all sounds good, SIGN UP NOW! The spaces are going fast and the opportunity to join us for an awesome time in the Black Hills will be gone.
If you are mailing in your registration, please also email Holly at president@phoenixcruisertravelclub.org telling her it is on the way. That will help her keep track of the numbers. The postmark or online submission date is the order in which registrations will be processed.

We’re thinking about this. For those that are attending, where is your home base and in a PC?

We are going! Already signed in and paid up. Currently have a 2100, but by then will have our 2351D and driving from St. Louis, MO taking in the sights to and fro.
Had a super time in Charleston and look forward to renewing friendships and building new ones.
See ya there!

Would the weather be better to see Yellowstone before or after the reunion?

Yellowstone weather is unpredictable. We were there in 2013 from 9/5 through 9/13. Weather was perfect. But they were already closing down some of the lodges and winterizing things. Snow in September is not unusual. If it was me I would go before the rally not after as that is pushing you close to October. Unless you like snow of course. :)

We've been to Yellowstone late Sept three times and had chilly but nice weather. Beartooth pass will be closed but that just means you have to go back.......bummer that! Whatever you do secure a campsite prior to noon and then explore. Yellowstone is huge so you'll need to change your base a couple of times. A really neat side attraction is Mead Falls in Idaho, not too far from the town of West Yellowstone. If you're a little adventurous you may also want to check out the Bechler corner of Yellowstone NP a remote but rewarding place. Who cares if it's cold you've got a furnace right?? LOL

We will be leaving the Cincinnati area in late August heading west. Traveling through the Dakotas to see the sights, toward Glacier NP for a week. After an overnight stop at Big Sky Brewery (a Harvest Host site) to pick up a few cases of delicious Moose Drool brown ale, feeling on to the West Yellowstone area for 3-4 days. From there???, arriving in Spearfish for the rally.
