Anyone looking to split the room bill ?
I sent an IM to Carl Graham a while back and have had no response.
I hope he is OK, anyone heard otherwise ?
( I plan on arriving Thursday afternoon and leaving Sunday morning )

Welcome, some important notes for you - we really need to know when you plan to arrive and how many nights you will stay - it's all part of the planning so we know how many leaders we need, how many to plan for dinner, etc. (Our events are becoming more and more organized. mostly thanks to one lady in particular. )

Other notes:
1) Try to get there on Thursday, many of us will arrive between 1pm and 11pm Thursday. Franc's run on Friday morning is a must-do.

2) Most leave on Sunday but many stay till Monday.

3) Watch THIS AREA of the forum: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...-events-meets/ as there will be at least 1 or 2 convoys from Michigan/Ohio/etc. that you can join so you need not drive down alone. If you have car trouble, you are way better off in a group - we do not leave people behind, unless the person says: "Oh, go on, I'll be fine..."

4) Prepare yourself, we have some people who drive for two days or FLY in for this event - this will be your first time, but not likely your last time.

I strongly recommend not leaving on Sunday because there will be runs that will last most of the day
and then another dinner together on Sunday evening along with the social time in the lodge for all who will stay the night

Agreed, Gary. But the way it looks, I've got to leave by 4-5 Sunday night.

But I am SO outta here come that Thursday morning.....
