Not a 914 owner (yet) but would love to come to the event. I live just down the hill in Carson City. Please don't chase me off if I show up with my 928 to say hi and check out all of the 914's.

Good camping spots in the area that we could take over (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
[/quote]

Lake Tahoe is ~4,850 ft. in altitude. In May it will probably be pretty cold, with a good possibility of snow keeping the campgrounds closed. The average temperature for Tahoe in May is a high of 61 and a low of 32.

If it ends up being a productive snow winter, you may need to count on hotel rooms, rather than camping.

Eric

Just to clarify. 4850 is the elevation at the bottom of the lake. Surface elevation is just a little above 6200'. I used to live there and have seen snow every month of the year. Bring extra warm gear if you plan to camp. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

It did not show on the online booking so I called to confirm and it went through with no hassles - other then being on hold for a while.

As a 914World member, we will only chase you off if you don't register and show up... We definitely know how hard it is to keep one of these things running so people show up in lots of different cars. The only time we give them crap is if they are watercooled and have four seats... Hey, wait a fuchin' minute!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Will anyone be there Wednesday night? The wife just asked me this morning if we can leave a day early. I'm all for playing an extra day!

Maybe I can help set up or something? Let me know.

Although we don't plan on being there until Thursday and we would love set up help, you should get there as soon as you can and stay as long as you can. This place is beautiful.

It looks like Ed won't be there this year due to a schedule conflict but...
I am trying real hard to fit this event into my schedule. My wife is on board with it.
We haven't taken a real vacation together in years.
I looked at flights last night and can get a good price into SFO Wednesday or Thursday night, with return flight leaving late Sunday night.
I have a nephew in San Jose with a newborn baby that we would like to visit, maybe Sunday for dinner before heading home.
If we came out Wednesday I would want to visit a winery or two in Napa valley before heading east on Thursday and maybe visit McMark's shop in the morning first if that works for him. On the map it looks very do-able.

Anybody have a spare 914 available to loan us? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)

Expedia is having a sale for Harvey's right now...for the same price we would have received! I don't know how long this sale will last, however if you book 2 nights or more, the price comes out to be the same we would have gotten with the group rate. Simply search on Expedia for South Lake Tahoe for the dates (May 13th-16th) and you'll see the discount for Harveys.

The rates right now are $59/Thursday, $77/Friday and $97/Saturday. This averages out to $77/night if staying Thurs-Sunday... I would suggest booking sooner than later since this is a sale.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
I followed the Expedia link this evening and the special deal ain't so special now!
Average per night is up to $115+. So much for a group rate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
I already bought plane tickets so it isn't a deal breaker but it does kinda suck that we will have to pay $40+ per night more than others at the same gathering.

Chris...there was no group rate. We had looked into it and they needed a solid number of rooms required and if we didnt fill 90% of those rooms, whoever signed the agreement would be on the hook for rooms. After the fiasco at WCR Mark had to go though, there was no way we were signing anything.

Tahoe has lots of options as to where to stay and several hotels that are within a block of Harveys so we figured it would beter for people to make their own reservations.

The expedia deal I found was more than a month ago and was just a heads up for everything looking to book early. Those deals come up now and again and I will try to keep people updated on any I find.

I understand Brett, and I certainly wouldn't want the same thing to happen as the above mentioned fiasco. I was just venting.
I'm looking around right now and it looks like we can get a room at the Ambassador Motor Lodge for as low as $58 night. The Ambassador appears to be only a couple blocks away, across the state line.
Besides, if Mary wants she can pay for the room at Harvey's. I'm a bit cheaper than that.

FYI- Harrvey's has been running ads on local cable in So Cal for rates comparable to the early ones. Maybe even less.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I warned a month and a half ago that room rates/availability are changing big time. If you haven't booked a room, better get on it. Tahoe is an amazing destination. The longer you wait, the higher the rate. Wait too long and hotels may be sold out.
