Errr, Tahoe is an extra 2+ hours per direction from my house than it is from your place in Sac. Not a simple drive up and down the mountain from Santa Rosa. I say go on up the hill if you want, but if you want to do a planning session it might be nice to get together on a non-reunion day, some place more central, like in Napa. That's about 1/2 between between here an Sac.

I don't see any problem in partnering, but what type of deal do you think they'd be able to score with the hotels that we couldn't get on our own? I still have a bad taste in my mouth for Mark's sake after what he went through trying to get deals for the Rohnert Park event. Maybe we should just let people score their own deals using Hotels.com/priceline/etc. There are a lot of good hotels and a lot of shitty hotels in South Lake too, so please please please do you research at Tripadvisor.com before committing to any hotel. I'd also be surprised if the deal you would prearrange would really be any better than their internet partner deals. If it's only $5 off per night, then is it really worth the extra effort on your part?

I don't really care who comes up with the tour route. Input from the locals is always appreciated. I'm sure there are some awesome roads up there that I know nothing about. If it's just a trip around the lake, then the route is pretty straight forward. Might be nice to know of good lunch spots, beach stops, etc.

Still not sure why you need to update that thread every day. I decided to not get into in the public forum, but it's really annoying having you bounce it daily. What purpose does it serve Rob, other than to make a LOT of people ignore the thread? Is it really just so you can increase your thread count? *shrugs* I love your enthusiasm, but I just don't get your tactics on this issue. Explain?

Thanks,
