Jumping in on the post for the UC group. I started a thread in the UC clubhouse to find out how many in our group are going. For sure myself + 3 and Trollhole + 3. We should know more in the next few days.Everyone interested in attending, please read:
I personally love camping at Frisco Woods, but due to the driving restrictions (and limited access and driving space) we moved it from the Frisco/Hatteras area, up to the 4x4 area in Corolla/Carova last year and had a blast! Many reasons why but the 3 big ones are: 1) you don't have to pay $75 (per truck) to drive for the week we'll be there. 2) camping at Frisco Woods is just about as expensive as renting a house 3) More areas for driving and exploring!
It is unfortunate that each year GSMTR continued to bump up the date of the ride, as STR has always been in this general time frame. I'd love to accommodate the GSMTR date, but historically very few of us actually go compared to the talk at the beginning of the year. We've consistently had more people come to STR than go to GSMTR.
It is true that the SC crew would like to double up with a house next to us, and share the price of one heated pool with a nice deck area for hanging out. I am in the process of reaching out to them to shore everything up timing wise. But, I'd love to have 2 mixed houses of both groups so that we intermingle and get to know each other, and don't stay closed off in two separate houses! This was what has made this ride so nice last year that we have had both groups together!
So, going forward this is how it's going to run, and I apologize for the supreme dictatorship feel, but after having been the first events coordinator for this club, I know how we all roll.
Sample house: Dragonfly Knoll
This is one of the more expensive houses for that week....
1. Anyone interested in going will need to secure their spot by paying up front. Last year, I believe the cost was around $250 per room for the entire week. Bear with me here comes the math! House price for the week, divided by the # of days, divided by the number of rooms occupied per day. Example: The House rental above is $2700 ~2700/7 = ~$385 a day. But if we book all 9 bedrooms for the entire week it becomes $42 a day per room (42*7=$294). This is just an example and prices will fluctuate.
2. I'll say by the end of January, I'll select a house (or houses) with the appropriate amount of rooms, as I have paid spots. But timing is the key to get a good house.
3. Based upon the actual house price, I'll refund the difference, or you'll owe the week before when the remainder is due.
So, as much as I hate trying to keep track of posts in a thread, for visibility sake no PM's, post up last name, duration, and # of people in your room. And I'll update this post for a estimate who's going. Official numbers will be who has actually paid by the end of January.
1. Keefers, entire week, 4
2. Rymers, entire week, 5
3. Forrest, entire week, 1
4. White, entire week, 4

Count the Traylor family in (4 plus the two small dogs) I got approval from work and this will motivate me to fix that rear main leak in the Pilot.
Looking forward to seeing you all again.

Ohh Geeze I didn't figure planning would start this early. We hold our budget meeting Friday but I'm pretty sure we could put it in for Feb and send some money your way. This fits perfectly in between two large training events and I believe this will be our LAST before we move back out to Oregon next March.
Everyone good for another year of the Honda Pilot!!! It is almost comical now. I swear I do have a cruiser (in a million pieces).
If and when my opinion counts if we sign up I agree a larger house and beachfront is usually worth the extra cost.
Are we to far out and are people in the whole club tracking this is being closed off at the end of the month? Seems like a really low turn out compared to last years. But I only log on now a couple times a year so I don't know where the club is at.
P.S. I'll be training at Bragg 4-24 April if anyone is in the Nam area and wants to meet up for a beer one evening.
It looks like a few people who expressed an interest last year from UC can't go so it may only be Marshall+3 and me+3. If that happens can we get in with you guys again this year?
