I got my reservation at the Dodge House but all they had was a smoking room... not sure if I'll want to deal with that or not. I called LaQuinta and it was more expensive.

I'm looking forward to it... hope to meet up w/ some of you.

I was told yesterday that Kevin's working on the rates, but I haven't reached Kevin yet to confirm.

Good to hear. The manager told he could do 85 a night. 5 dollars more than the Dodge house but the rooms look newer and nicer than the dodge house. The La Quinta is only 2 years old. That is worth the extra money for me.

This is what happens when an event gets a reputation for attracting rich foreigners. Anyone that will drop thousands on a bird will pay top rent for a clean room.

Maybe if we put up a big enough sqautter tent city of regular Americans, someone will take notice. Plus, the more body heat the better.

For some small consideration...say the nectar of Lynchburg....you can stay with Krys in the hospitality tent:D.

I know efforts are being made re: the rates, so far not much happening.

I wonder if we will need some zoning waiver for the Encampment? Looks to be getting bigger all the time:eek:

Is camping really an option at the NAFA meet? That would make it feasable to do this year! I want to go to one soon. If not this year, then definately next. Much closer!

There's always someone camping at a meet. Sometimes around the hotel,
tho I'm sure cooking around the hotel's lawn might be frowned on, lodges/tepees by a stream. Then there's the tin tepee(camper). First meet I went to, Yankton SD slept in a '67 Mustang. I remember a lodge at Waverly IA some years back, outside the weathering area. Ya can put a fire in a lodge and stay warm or just roll up in a canvas tarp with the dogs like Jack Oar used to:D
Where there's a will, there's a way!

I may try it!

I can't imagine trying to sleep in a 67 Mustang? They're small inside!

Yes our very own Jay from VT camped out in a wooded lot behind the hotel last year on OK. If you feel adventurous go for it!

Still waiting! As of 4 pm St Louis time today (Tue) no one from NAFA has contacted LaQuinta about group rates. Hope it's soon.
