FMCA Golden Spike

Welcome to the Golden Spike Chapter Web Site. A chapter of Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA), an international motor home organization located throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.

What We Do

We are an FMCA Chapter that enjoys riding the rails! Our rallies are in historic places throughout the west that have a railroad history. Our activities involve rid-ing historic trains where they exist or enjoying the railroad history if there are no existing trains to ride. We have ridden trains that serve dinner, trains that get robbed, trains in big modern cities and trains near ghost towns. We enjoy BBQ potlucks and happy hours.
We are beginning the celebration of our 20th year as an FMCA Chapter. In a typi-cal year, we will have 2-3 rallies and join the FMCA in Indio. We often attend the FMCA International Rallies in the west and the Northwest Area Rallies. Our members are from many areas: Northern CA, Southern CA, Arizona, Nevada, Washington and even Montana!
In the past few years we have rallied in:
Santa Cruz CA, Tehachapi CA, La Grande OR, 29 Palms, Orange CA, Sedona AZ, Portola CA, Tillamook OR, Alamosa CO, Grass Valley CA, Lewiston MT and Carson City NV. We have joined FMCA and the Western Area in Redmond OR, Pomona CA, Sacramento CA, ‘Yosemite’ CA, Boise ID (Eclipse) and Albany OR..

Boise ID - Solar Eclipse
Aug. 2017

15 Golden Spike rigs journeyed to Boise, ID from all directions! Rich and Sue Dixon came south from the Northwest Territories; Betsy and I came west from a visit with family in Colorado; many came north through Nevada by several different routes; Westerfields and Pooles came southeast from Oregon and Washington. Schaffer’s and Pearson’s came through Reno and waved to the ‘girls’ as they passed by Mustang, NV. We were joined by Carnes’ son and family for the eclipse, Don and Karen’s son and Westerfields had a couple of visitors who spent time with us as well. Lots of us came a day or two early to avoid the crowds and to secure our spot in the RV resort. The Hi-Valley Resort was perfect for us. We were treated like ‘honored’ guests. The facilities were won-derful and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We had the use of the community room with kitchen and at least one of us was on the treadmill/bicycle in the exercise room.
