SNU Rally at Sweetwater Summit NFS dispersed area
Thursday May 18 – Sunday May 21,
2017
3 Day rally for SNU and WBCCI members. Visitors
welcome
- Location: Location - The area is located
on highway 338 in Nevada, which comes out of Bridgeport as
California highway182. If you are heading north on Nevada 338, at
the Sweetwater Summit there is a large parking area to the right
with a weather gathering station at the south end. From the southern
end of the parking area, there is a short dirt road that goes behind
a small knoll where the area flattens out and is an excellent place
for a large group and large rigs.

Finding the
Rally Site: The SNU now provides the means for you to put
its rally sites on your electronic map. If you don't have a GPS or a
PND or a computer with a mapping program, you can still take the
file and use it to find coordinates on your paper maps.

What to expect at an
SNU rally : Never been to an SNU rally? This page will give
you information on arrival and departure times, meals, activities,
and other information that will help make the rally an enjoyable
experience.

Boondocking SNU
Style: SNU rallies are a great way to experience camping
“off grid” Our usual rally sites have no electricity or other
hookups. Water is frequently not available. For the SNU, this type
of camping enhances the experience and we are never without all the
comforts of home
