Where are Saturday nights activities going to be held?

Reservations need to be made!

[rpraterxj]

Good question!

I will probably be at Motel6 again. Especially if I have my son with me. I know a few folks have cabins or access to cabins. I am going to assume tha Serrano is the main camp, but with it being Cinco de Mayo, I am sure it will be crowded!! We shoudl probably try to book ASAP!

My point exactly, time is getting short and details are lacking.

There is someone working out the details at the moment. Plan is to operate out of Serrano again and if things go right we should be able to make sure that people will be able to make reservations at camp spots next to each other.

I just got off the phone with the friendly staff at the Motel 6. She said they still had plenty of rooms left. Their going rate is $64.99/night. Also, cancelations can be as late as 6pm the day of your reservation. How close is the motel as to the trailhead?

10-15 minutes

Last time I stayed there. in January when we ran Gold Mountain, it sucked.

Beds weren't so comfortable, sheets kept slipping of the bed, lots of people running around all night.

It may be a little quieter seeing the ski season will most likely be closed.

I have stayed at the Motel6 several times. It's a Motel6, not Marriott...:laugh3: but it's warm, clean, and has showers. I am not afraid to camp, but if I have my son with me, the motel is much better. If he doesn't come, I may just buy a tent and camp with the group. I can't afford the RV I want, yet...

As for distance, the motel is only about 2 miles from the Discovery Center, which is the usual meeting spot.

Yeah, my girl's going. She doesn't camp.

I was just checking out the serrano website. Looks all campsites are available for those dates currently. Not to sure if one area is better than the other though.

There's an area called the "loop". I believe it's the campsites in the 80's. i will take a look at the site a little later.

Yup, we're working on getting all of us into the same area so that we don't have any poor unsuspecting folks stuck with our rowdy bunch :D

[4xSanta]

What are the single site numbers +/- closest to where we camped last year?

we don't know yet if we will be in the same loop again.

[GSequoia]

Well if you don't hear back we should just call Serrano and all book the same area, with any luck we'll fill it up before others. (just request exact sites)

I plan to pull down another double site for a dinner/raffle spot.

So whats the word?

[GrimmJeeper]

yes yes whats the word? if i can get in on camping save me a spot and let me know how to get it! i think me and the boy will be camping in the jeep, its my mobile tent :D

[Gerr]

My wife wants to make reservations soon any word yet???

[Mr.OverKill]

my son and i are in on this as well, so where and when??, so we can make reservations for friday and saturday nites, we dont want to have to walk half the campground to see people. :laugh3:

[rpraterxj]

Just make the reservations. several folks have posted in this thread:
http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=913351

See you all there!

[Kejtar]

OK, folks, we are working on getting a whole section of the campground to ourselves. As I posted if you do the reservation through the 800 number you probably will not be staying with the big group. The most recent word is that hte person on the ranger side that we need to talk to, will be reachable by the end of the week.

[Kejtar]

OK, since people kept making reservations you are right: we might as well fill up the loop. Problem is that you guys went after the wrong half of the loop :( It's the below 85 that we used last time: it had more double spots. Oh well, I got spots 99 and 101. Nice and out of the way: should be peaceful and quiet while the rest of you loud drunks cause trouble :D

At this point it looks liek there is only spot 100 open. When that gets filled, we should start filling the other half of the loop which is below 85 IIRC.

No so peaceful... I just grabbed 100
