Special Message from Rally Masters: As we went about planning this rally, we were always aware that the length of time would cause this rally to be more expensive than a weekend rally.  We have tried, in every instance, to keep the costs "down".  For example: the average cost of camping will be below $30.oo.night and we have not scheduled meals in expensive restaurants or expensive tours.
