The XLR Rendezvous is set for June 10-16, 2006 in New Mexico. We have scheduled fun events such as a poker run, parties and a park-n-shine at the hotel or local Cadillac dealership. There is great sightseeing, dining and shopping in New Mexico, and we have several casinos.
In Albuquerque there is Old Town, zoo, aquarium/bio-park, the world's longest tram up to the top of the mountain (with a restuarant) and of course hot air balloons. We will caravan to famous Santa Fe and Taos for shopping and galleries and will also travel to historic Lincoln (Billy the Kid territory) and visit Carlsbad Caverns.
Since there was insufficient interest, and costly, to obtain the use of the race track or for a golf tournament, these have not been set up. We will work on getting a good deal at one of the local golf courses for anyone who wants to golf while they are here. If interested, let me know.
We have a sponsor who has offered to donate a golf shirt and baseball cap to the first 25 registrants (so hurry up and register). If you don't make that group, or would like to purchase a hat or cap, let me know and we can arrange to get them for you. These items will not be available for sale at the event and will need to pre-ordered and prepaid.
Albuquerque is the hot air balloon capitol of the world and anyone who has not taken a flight doesn't know what they are missing. Anyone who is interested in purchasing a ride, let me know. As a commerical hot air balloon pilot, I can recommend several good local pilots ( and get you a good rate).
This will be a great event and will have the largest collection of XLR together since they were introduced. We will have great fun, parties and some nice door prizes.
Get your reservations in early. Due to hotel requirement, April 10th is the cutoff date in order to have head counts for events. Make plans now to come to Albuquerque for a great vacation.
Please contact me at [email protected] and I will forward you all the information and a registration form. You can also contact me by mail at: 834 Sagebrush Dr. Corrales, NM 87048 or on my cell 505-379-5629.
Hope to see all the forum members here in June. Jim Stokes
