2011 RRC Sept. 9-11 UPDATED INFO, Ouray, CO Options

[SharonG]

RRC IS ON!

We're staying here:
Timber Ridge Lodge (970) 325-4856 (SOLD OUT)
$79/night - they'll want to charge you for 1 night when you reserve but you can cancel up to 2 weeks in advance and get a 100% refund. Pets $10/ea.
It's a 2 block walk up the river walk to the hot springs, bordering the RV/cabin park (Mr. Sharp (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ), and has a fire pit, BBQs and tables in the back. We have most of the lodge, which is 15 of 20 rooms. I've been working with a super nice man named Mike and tell him you're with the 914 group when you call for your reservation.

UPDATE 9-Jul And HERE!: Hot Springs Inn (970) 325-7277 (STILL AVAILABLE until 8/22)
There are 14 rooms, 12 have 2 king beds. $116 plus tax. Private patios. Just down the street from Timber Ridge. This hotel doesn't accept pets. Another super nice person named Pam helped me out, so tell her you're with the 914 group.

Saturday drive: South for lunch in Durango. We'll head back to Ouray the same way, with a stop in Silverton to wander around (visit brewery) - such a good drive you'll want to do it TWICE!

NO registration fee, but let us know that you're attending so we have good numbers for meals. We'll ask you to throw in a few bucks at RRC for the BBQ and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

I was going to suggest to my AZ brethren that my house (the site of the legendary Atomic Ramble of 2007) be used as a way-station for those that would like to get here on Thursday Sept 8th. Crash over (I have a guest room and a couch), and then caravan up on Friday. The trip back might be a bit harder for me to house people since I will be trying to return to work on Monday, but ... well, I'll just have to see how that goes.

Just so people know that's an option. I know it might make it a bit further out of the way, but ... well maybe not too bad. Ouray is just over 5 hrs from my house. PM me if any one wants to take advantage of that plan.

Jon,

Appreciate the offer but that takes it from a 9 1/2 hour drive to a 12 1/2 hour drive. I'll probably split the drive up Thursday afternoon and crash up north somewhere and then roll in to Ouray Friday morning.
