I may do myself anyway just to see something new if time permits, but it does look like this mingo close to last points on that route I had.

Sounds like a nice road trip. Museum or Falls? Enough weekend to do both.

Hi Inge and Jack, thanks very much for the offer to travel together to the Crossfire GTG at the Fontana Lodge this October. Sorry to have to decline the offer only because we will still be at our summer home here in Marble, NC. Sue and I are looking forward to seeing you at the event. We will be arriving late Thursday afternoon and hope to see you then.

Ok, if you need a room CONTACT Yellobird NOW.

YOu can paypal Yellobird her deposit, then you and her call the lodge and move the reservation to your name. IT is that easy - the lodge WILL NOT refund her, but you can pay her yourself.
If you have any issues, you can ask for Marie Rogers at the lodge and she can help but there will be NO REFUNDS, you must pay Yellobird directly.

I just booked my room for Thursday night a little east of Chattanooga. I plan to leave Baton Rouge at around 3:00, arriving at the hotel at around 10pm. Sleep for 5 hours, get up and make the remaining 2 hours to Fontana. Hopefully in time to see all the beautiful cars in the parking lot!

(5-6 hours sleep a night is my norm).

I am trying to make it to where I can leave BR at 2, but it is Exam Week and I can't get off any sooner than 3 at this time. Working on that.

Isn't this the proper way of doing it ??
Once they choose to do this for you ....you can then call the lodge and ask them to give your room to the other guest by providing their full name
Your credit card will be credited once they have the new credit card info from the person who takes over your reservation.

All I can pass along is what Marie (group manager for Fonatana) has told me - they no longer do refunds. The procedure I provided is what Marie suggested last year when this came up.
You can ASK for anything you want, but I"m passing along what the lodge has told me/us to do.

If you have managed to get them to do what you describe, perhaps others can as well.

You don't. We deal with "who goes with what group?" on Thursday evening (for the Friday groups), Friday evening (for the Saturday groups) and Saturday evening (for the Sunday groups).
We just want to know what days you will be with us so we can get an idea how many cars will be participating each day - this helps with planning and tells us how many leaders we need.
