Well, it is wonderful if you&#8217;re taking advantage of the unseasonable temperatures to explore Santa Fe instead of melting in the valley. Isn&#8217;t this why we all have our Airstreams? Get away to somewhere more hospitable on the spur of the moment? Speaking of which the rally season is all revved up and firing on all cylinders! Get away this weekend to Cottonwood, or get more adventure per gallon by going back-to-back with Chama and Angel Fire rallies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> In this edition, we welcome two new affiliate member couples to our community and give you a big <a href=\"#rallyupdate\">update<\/a> from our rally committee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"membership\">Membership Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re excited to welcome the following new affiliate members to the 4CU.

Spring has come early to the Four Corners with many of us looking forward to our late spring, summer and fall rallies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We understand that some of you may be re-thinking some longer summer trips, due to fuel costs. If that is the case for you, look at all the rallies within the Four Corners region. We are confident that there is a rally for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rally Committee is thrilled to announce that Four Corners Unit members, Meme and Michael Eberspacher and Alan and Genie Shupe have stepped forward to host and co-host the rally to be held in August 2026 at Priest Gulch RV Park and Campground. This rally is a perfect stop over on your way to the International Rally in Minot, ND. This is a smaller rally with 15 FHU sites. They are planning a fun-filled rally with some activities and plenty of free time for you to enjoy this beautiful part of Colorado. Look for rally information and registration coming soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rally Committee is working on the final details for the Route 66 Centennial Caravanette, 11 September 2026 \u2013 23 September 2026. There are five stops planned:&nbsp; Tucumcari, Albuquerque and Gallop in New Mexico, and Winslow and Williams in Arizona. This event will accommodate 25 rigs, with all stops offering electric and water service, and most offering full hook-ups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will be opportunities to experience these iconic Route 66 stops on your own, or as a group through guest speakers and shared meals. Many thanks to the three members who have stepped forward to host three of the stops. The rally committee is looking for two more hosts. <a href=\"mailto:rally.committee@fourcornersunit.com?subject=Route%2066%20hosts\">Won\u2019t you be a part of the Route 66 Centennial team<\/a>?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Upcoming Rallies open for registration.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring at the Ranch \u2013 Dead Horse Ranch State Park \u2013 9-12 April 2026 \u2013 9 spots open<br>Bryce Canyon \u2013 Ruby\u2019s RV Park \u2013 14-18 May 2026 \u2013 1 spot open<br>Chama \u2013 Sky Mountain RV Park \u2013 15-18 June 2026 \u2013 13 spot open<br>Balloons Over Angel Fire &#8211; Angel Fire RV Park \u2013 18-22 June 2026 \u2013 Waitlist only<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rallies coming soon:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Priest Gulch \u2013 Priest Gulch RV Campgroup \u2013 13-16 August 2026<br>Route 66 Centennial Caravanette \u2013 11-23 September 2026.<br>October \u2013 No rally planned yet.<br>Second Annual Artesia Air Urban Rally \u2013 5-8 November 2026 &#8211; Artesia, NM<br>Catalina Unplugged \u2013 11-15 November 2026 &#8211; Oro Valley, AZ&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"schedule\">2026 Rally Schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to those who have stepped up to host one of these Four Corners Unit Airstream Rallies listed below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"deadhorse\"><strong>Spring Break at the Ranch Rally<\/strong><br>Dead Horse Ranch SP, Cottonwood AZ.&nbsp;<br>9-12 April 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"deadhorse\">Are you the last minute type? <strong>There are plenty of openings just waiting for you to sign up!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hosts: Dan &amp; Kathy Fahey<br>Co-Hosts: John &amp; Kathy Lorec<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fourcornersunit.com\/news\/2026\/02\/spring-break-at-the-ranch-rally-announcement\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1629\">More Information&#8230;<br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/fourcornersunit.com\/news\/2026\/02\/spring-break-at-the-ranch-rally-registration-open\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1659\">Register Here&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ruby\"><strong>Red Rocks, Silver Trailers and Hoodoos Rally!<\/strong><br>Rudy\u2019s RV Park, just outside the entrance to Bryce Canyon NP.&nbsp;<br>14-18 May 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ruby\">It\u2019s not too often you can stay at a spot with full hook ups just outside the entrance to one of the most beautiful National Parks in the US! <strong>There are still a couple of openings for this rally, check it out!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ruby\">Hosts: Karen &amp; Don Conley<br>Co-Hosts: Barbara Lyle &amp; Paul Strieleman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fourcornersunit.com\/news\/2026\/01\/red-rocks-silver-trailers-and-hoodoos-rally-announcement\/\">More Information&#8230;<br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/fourcornersunit.com\/rallies\/BRYCE26\/\">Register Here&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sky Mountain RV Resort, Chama, NM<\/strong><br>15 &#8211; 18 June 2026 \u2013 Monday &#8211; Thursday<br>21 Full hook-up sites<br>Hosts: Cathy and Randy Fuhman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fourcornersunit.com\/news\/2026\/03\/2026-chama-airstream-rally-announcement\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1711\">More Information&#8230;<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/fourcornersunit.com\/news\/2025\/02\/balloons-over-angel-fire-rally-2025-registration-open\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1192\">Register <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/fourcornersunit.com\/news\/2026\/03\/2026-chama-airstream-rally-registration-opens-at-8am\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1722\"> Today&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Angel Fire RV Resort, Angel Fire, NM<\/strong><br>18 &#8211; 22 June 2026 &#8211; Thursday &#8211; Monday<br>25 Full hook-up sites<br>Hosts: Scott and Cathy Verhines<br>Co-Hosts: Chuck and Andrea Hanson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Information coming 14 March!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>July is open!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"priest\"><strong>Priest Gulch RV Campground, Dolores, CO<\/strong><br>13\u201316 August 2026<br>15 Full hook-up sites<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"priest\">Hosts: Meme and Michael Eberspacher<br>Co-Hosts: Alan and Genie Shupe<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Airstream International Rally, Minot, ND<\/strong><br>22\u201327 August 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"route66\"><strong>4CU<\/strong> <strong>Route 66 Unit Caravan, NM &amp; AZ<\/strong><br>11\u201323 September 2026<br>The 4CU Route 66 Unit Caravan to commemorate the Centennial of Route 66.
