Ok, I was asked who all from up here were driving down to Reno in August for this event, so I thought I would start a roll call to get an idea. I know of just a few people and trying to get a better idea. Shirley and I are planning on heading out Wed. and driving to Medford, then cruising down with a few people from down that way on Thurs.. Get into town a day early and go out to dinner with a group of friends that we've met through this event. So, sign up, lets see how many we can get and maybe set up meet up points if we have a good size group going down. Copy and paste the list, add your name, you know the drill....

1. Rob and Shirley-leaving Wed.
2. Cliff-flying in Thurs.

Yes, that is one of the reasons we are going down Thurs. instead of Fri. I don't know when Justin plans on heading down. We will probably get a room at the Motel 6, or Travel Lodge there near the Black Bear diner. Meet up Thurs. morning and head out.

I am suggesting meeting up sometime Wednesday night to say a quick HELLO - make sure ya'll get in OK. Sound good? What time you plan on rolling in?

Also - i'd like to hit up breakfast NLT 8:30am. Does that sound do-able or is that pushing it a little too early?

OK, I made reservations at the Shilo Inn, didn't want to stay at the 6 and read reviews on the others there and they didn't sound much better. Best Western was going to be over $100 for a night. if you want, we can grab a bite to eat after we get in Wed. Shooting for no later than 6pm. We can meet for b-fast anytime, thinking leave hotel at 0800 and head for Black Bear. That way we can get going as early as possible.
