Its ok Mike, I don't drink so you can have the free cocktails I'll get at the craps table:)

Yeah, that seemed pretty reasonable. It think it was $221 for 3 nights with the coupon code. I plan on going east as well. I'll be going East from my house in the Mckenzie valley to Bend. Then hwy 97 to 31 to 395.

Just a note for you guys who share rooms. When I booked, I said we would be two adults and one child age 12. They charged an extra $20/night. So keep that in mind.

My family thinks I'm a freak and they won't go with me...not even my kids!!

Rich,
Jamie "Pizza Man" Rust is looking for a roommate. Plus you two could caravan down together. Ahhh... Feel the love.

Jamie is , of course, welcome to stay in my room. I'll probably have a pal with me so the hotel will have to give us a cot or something. However, I rented a smoking room to match my smoking car and I don't think Jamie will agree to that.

As far as a caravan goes, I'm all for that but I'm going Wednesday morning not Thursday. I have to go to Carson City and rile Mike Z.

How romantic! A trip in a classic car and a weekend on the lake! lol

Undecided, depends on the work picture.

Z is literally only about 40 miles away. He would be an honored guest and as always "that guy emeritus" so you don't have to go to Carson City...

Well, I was originally going to bunk up at Mike's house for the weekend but decided I didn't want to be left out of the fun. Plus I might decide to drink and there's NO WAY I'm driving after that....I'm a light weight. So my new plan is to possibly bunk at Mike's on Wednesday night and Sunday night since I only rented a room for Thursday through Saturday.\

OR, I might decide to drive to Ball Sac on Wednesday and visit some of my old Air Force pals that never left after we got out of the service. Oops. I meant Sacramento. But probably not since I've already spent time in Sac County and the military jail at Beale AFB......I was just a kid then.

BOOKED!!!

When you book, if you aren't a ThankYou network member, feel free to toss your points my way (8910238559729932).

I don't know about hauling ass, But for sure we will not be taking the most direct route.
The trip for me I think, will be more about the drive down and back, than the time spent hanging out in a parking lot. Anyone is welcome to drive down with us, Prolly leaving Wed morning and taking the better part of Wed and Thurs to get there. Cruising down thru eastern Oregon and into NV and CA
I can post a route at a later date.
I also don't gamble so casinos for me only mean people watching.

I am so glad you dont gamble

914+road trip=gamble Just pretty good odds.

OK...I'm getting excited now.

About to book! Just ran it buy the old man, he took one look at the pictures from previous years, and says simply, "Book it".

If anyone is interested in fishing let me know. I can put together groups of 6-8 and get a price for you. They do morning and afternoon trips that last from 3-7 hours...

Oh, and yes. This pic is of a Lake Tahoe Trout

Damn!

Is there a fee for attending? Do we need to register?
The first post does not mention anything?
Thanks,
Jake

Event registration will be coming up. It will be low since we're probably only looking at a couple meals. But registration fees will be the next item we tackle.

Booked'm Danno

Okay just booked for me & my wife. So sorry Mark I won't be splitting your room . She is not the most sociable person. Her hearing isn't so good. Legally deaf without her hearing aids. With them she does okay but she's kind of gotten used to not being in to many conversations. So if you talk to her & please do. Please be aware she doesn't hear well. If she is not looking at you. She may not hear you & isn't ignoring you . She is very excited to come I can't wait myself.

The only debate will be between my LE or my v8 conversion. If I don't have my LE creamsicle finished & sold. Then I will probably drive it down. If I've got it sold I will bring my v8 conversion that I drve at last years

Did I miss the code for expedia for the discount or do you just book by phone? Or can you just book online and get the discount? Inquring minds want to know. Thanks John

Look close when you book online, John, there is a spot where they ask if you have a coupon or promotional code...put 10WINTER in there and make sure they added it before you check out.

So....what are the track fees?

Sweet! The wife gave the thumbs up on attending. Booking my room in a minute. I don't gamble either but I have to put a few bucks on the roulette table "00" baby! Last time I was in Vegas (2 years ago) I did and hit it with 25 bucks (odds are 35:1).

Oh great! It's "that guy"...

Booked! I'm pretty sure my car won't be complete, but I can ogle and maybe bring some pictures of my progress.

And Mark, I tried to give you the ThankYou points, but it would not let me "associate" that booking with your account...

Count me in! I booked Harveys for 3 nights for a total of $223.10
I hope it doesn't snow because chains wouldn't fit with these tires.

It could snow. You could also be abducted by aliens and experimented on but I doubt either will happen. There will however be snow on the ground in areas that get little sunlight right down to the lake level... It will be cool at night and comfortable during the day. Fun will be had - even if we are all abducted by aliens...

Any clues into the schedule of events yet?

I'm at that distance where I could drive in from Reno... But would rather stay at the hotel for the right nights.

Thursday, bonus day, watch the arrivals (this is some of the best!)

Friday, Saturday.... Which will be activities near the hotel vs. away - like a drive/tour?

I know it's too early to expect a schedule yet, but just wanted to ask and see if there's anything sticking to a potential agenda yet.

Booked a room

Dave

Great! Dave is coming! Rand is coming!

Rand, most likely we will have drives on Friday and Saturday... I have to chat with the boys in the back room to know for sure...

Heck wit it, I just booked all three nights. Party at the lake! Woot!

Heads up - Room availability is likely to be changing... I was unable to book the cheaper room because they were sold out one of the nights. The good news is with the Expedia code I got the "Premium" for the price of the "Classic" direct.

Who else wants to ride the longest zipline in the continental US?! Been wanting to do that... Atop Heavenly, amazing lake views....

Heck yeah that looks kick butt. I bet my wife will even go on that. Guess I need to pack some warm clothes though huh.

I booked the Thursday, Friday, Saturday & am absolutely stoked to go. My wife is really looking forward to it too. She will either love it or never want to go again right

I'm down for that. Looks like a rush!

Does anybody know if the rooms are still available?

I went to the Harvey's website and saw that the rooms are listed at 106.75 currently.

We're trying to line up someone to stay with the kids for several days for that weekend. Would really like to attend, and would be bringing my 'new' 914 for the event.

Regards,
Tom

I must really like you guys. I just booked my flight for $340 (ouch). Time to sell some plasma

In to Portland on the 11th, out of Portland on the 18th.

Tom,

You can certainly book through Harvey's website, however if you book through Expedia.com, they are having a sale and it is cheaper...please read the first post for more info.

It looked like Expedia went up on their prices and I could not find where to imput the discount code 10winter. I booked directly through Harvey's website instead and under the play and stay tab on their home page booked Friday ($75) and Saturday ($97) under the 25% off and 2 for 1 improv for a total of $189.21 with taxes.

I am excited for Tahoe!!!

Cool, gives you time for beer and phở.

Besides the fishing which no one seems interested in anyway, they have a comedy club in the hotel. We could probably get a group thing going if anyone is interested. Or, we could drink in the parking lot... Anyone want to do that???

I'd be up for a comedy club one night. Not to big on the fishing thing. I'd be up for some fun on the water if it wasn't so damn cold. Still I'm there to check out 914's & pretty much be around them. I'm not real sure how the hotel parking garage is going to be for hanging out

Unless I can eat it, I dont want to fish for it. I will be following crowds to what ever. Booze is a good thing

I'm a 21 y/o, so it kinda goes without saying I'll be following the booze.

Sounds like a little interest in a group table at the comedy club... We can look into that.

There are other things to do on the lake as well Jamie, you and your wife may enjoy one of the excursions. The boat takes you around the lake to see the sights and tells you of the history. It gets you over to the castle everyone sees from the road on the
West side of the lake. When you find out the castle is actually a glorified outdoor patio it is kind of a hoot!

I like comedy. You can go see where they shot Bonanza. Other than drinking and gambling, is there any WCR planned events???

We're still working on the details (we've got three months). There will absolutely be some day drives, possible hot springs, etc, etc, etc. More details soon.

Awesome, Randy. I know things will be taken care of, particularly if you are involved. Hot springs are kick ass, but I wish we had more women folks and less old men for that trip
