Chula Vista Live Steamers Fall Meet - Labor Day

Post by tburzio »

Fall Meet September 3rd through 6th

All of our Live Steamers Friends are cordially invited to the Chula Vista Live Steamers Fall Meet over the Labor Day Weekend. Setup and camping on Thursday, with formal sign-up on Friday. We run trains at night, charge your headlights and lanterns! Check out our invitation poster at our web site http://www.chulavistalivesteamers.com or send mail to tburzio(at)burnhamshops.com if you need additional information. Hope to see you there!

We have two lifts for unloading, and filtered water for our steamers. Standard boiler cert and ash pan requirements, but we don't require spark arrestors.

I plan on coming. I need to call to reserve an RV spot. I may make this a long weekend, come in on Thurs, leave on Sun or Mon.

Trick is the no hookups thing, will be hard to make it that long without anything. May have to go dump at some point. Is there a dump site / RV park nearby?

There is a KOA campground 12 minutes away. Mary, your contact for reservations, is very familiar with camping so you can get further details from her (they live two blocks past the KOA...)

Address for KOA is 111 North Second Ave, Chula Vista, CA 91910 then enter Rohr Park into Google Maps to get directions...

Wow! It's COLD! Can't remember it being this chilly since I've been here! Our last work day it was 73 degrees all day, in July?!?

I decided to come but not to bring the RV, we will motel it this time. I'll be there tomorrow late morning, save a steam bay spot if you can.

It's still COLD down here! Brrrrrrr!!!!! Got set up for the meet today, and everyone was grabbing for coats when the sun went down. Tomorrow evening's steaming should produce lots of white steam effects in the dark!
