Hey everyone. I have volunteered to sort out the Lodging for 2011 WCR.
I have a few ideas
This is just for me to get an idea of what you guys want.
I still may play the politician and do what ever the hell I want, but your opinion will not fall on deaf ears.

I voted "Typical Chain hotel with big parking lot ..." but i don't care about "Lots of stuff within walking distance".
As long as my hotel room is within "falling distance" from our keg, i'm happy.


Trying to "take over" a small place only means that if we're running out of rooms, people will get scattered all over town.
Plus, small places have small parking lots ...


IMHO, the most important criteria should be a large parking lot, preferably away from the actual hotel (think back-lot) so we can party all night without other guests calling the cops on us 5 times a night.

I'm with Andy. As nice as it would be to own a place. There are to many who are on the fence about going with it being so far off. So many don't want to commit to a room yet. I'm good with whatever gives us our parking lot space

Camp ground with cabins and RV hook up would be great for all out late night partiers. Bon Fires drinking. California allows me to tow double since my trailer is a 5th wheel. Not sure if Oregon does.

I guess I could settle for a hotel if I have to. We do need a big parking lot and an accomodating hotel owner.

Camping style would be awesome... but I realize that it's not for everyone.

I really like the camping idea if the place has cabins for the non camper types. This year in Tahoe we spent late hours partying in the back parking lot. There is just not alot of places like that with chain hotels. A big camp fire will be nice too. If we do go this route, I'm willing to help SF Bay area people take gear up there in my trailer.

Camping would be fun, but I concur on the large parking lots idea. It's very nice with a large group of guys in old cars to have room for jackstands
