Grattan Hotel List

Since it's getting close, I figured I'd try to consolidate who's staying where to plan the nighttime activities

This will be a public poll so others can see who their drinking buddies will be.

I voted but I have to say that there will be NO cavorting going on as I am sharing a room with Hammer. Though I am considering a cattle prod just in case based on previous spy photos of him

I'll be camping but I'd appreciate a heads up of other plans...
At what time do they close the gate again?
I've been known to sing up for a round of aspirins, so anything better than that is a given for me.

Raddisson this time. There's another bed in the room if someone hasn't made plans.

Hammer, what tine do we have to get up to cut Sheep down from the rafters?

Even though we're at different places, we can still all get together in one place to hang....such as at the track Monday night for the BBQ!! The grill is ready to go, have a fresh tank of propane, and will shop in MI on Sunday to get some food. It's been a fun event every time! So, bring your favorite beverage and some food and stick around after riding on Monday!

We'll be staying at AmericInn of course. We'll have a mini charcoal grill to help out HG2 on Monday, and we are bringing a pony keg of 1919 Root Beer to share as well. Gonna be a good time!

Hey, thought all you guys were gonna go to the AmericInn this year? That's one of the reasons we switched. Well, that and the crappy mattresses. Ah well. It's all good. By the time I get back to my room, all I have the energy to do is shower and fall asleep!

I'll throw some sausage on my George Foreman grill Monday night. Maybe one of you other geeks could set up a video feed so the rest of us wannabes can feel like we're there?

I was strongly considering it but the AmericInn is nearly twice as expensive. That plus the distance made me choose the 'Stone. And the onsite bar...

thats what I thought but I asked JH if he wanted to switch. apathy towards the situation on both our ends kept the reservation we already had at the Stone. plus I'm a cheap bastard so as long as the AC and shower works the Stone is just fine with me.

Oh HELLS no!!!! We will have a great time!

I have no excuse, I just didn't remember that conversation.

I'm seriously starting to think Alzheimer's is setting in early on me.

LOL, I can totally relate!!! My thing is putting down stuff in the garage, and it falls into a vortex or something. I had touch up paint for my truck, used it once, and I'll be damned if I can find it anywhere.
