The Phoenix Cruiser Travel Club held its 2017 rally at the Bend Sisters Garden RV Resort in Sisters Oregon last month. Despite nearby wild fires the weather turned out perfect and the smoke was barely noticeable for the 18 rigs that attended.
The campground put up a large party tent for us to hold our meetings and meals in. This started with a welcome BBQ on Monday night followed by a catered breakfast on each of the following days.
During the week club members were able to visit the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, the High Desert Museum, Smith Rock State Park (home of a world class rock climbing area), the Lava River Cave, Cascades Lake Scenic Byway, and the wonderful quilt shops in Sisters. We also had our own mini quilt show and ice cream social one afternoon. Club members also attended a wonderful play at the Tower Theater in Bend, Oregon.
On Tuesday Kermit Fisher stopped by and gave us all a bit of a history lesson about Phoenix Cruiser USA and how it was started and grew. He also announced that he was selling the business to Jim Brynes and Chuck Cooper who plan to continue to produce the Phoenix Cruiser line.
On Thursday we got to meet one of the new owners, Jim Brynes, who had flown out to visit with us. He spent quite a bit of time talking with us and asking questions about our experience with the Phoenix Cruiser motor homes. He had breakfast with us on Friday and that turned into a several hour long discussion and question and answer session. Jim asked good questions about both the good and bad of Phoenix Cruisers and took careful notes.
