Nothing kinky, just "super fast bench racing" around the "old cardtable bottle"

[ALLAN YUEN]

Greg or Mike Do you have list different for motels and hotels near pond area ?

 

[GRoth265]

I'm out of town right now but will try and get you some info when I get back at the end of the week. Theres really only one place thats cheaper and its a Quality Inn about 2 miles from the lake. There is one closer and cheaper but I would not recommend it. It's a dump. Greg

 

[Mike Hughes]

Yeah. I second that the other place is a dump. Eric and I stayed there one night and there was this huge stinky stain by the bathroom door. Never will I go back. It did not use to be that bad. But it has fallen in to disrepair over the last few years.

Your right Mike that place has become the broken down trucker dive. <_< Greg

HOLY COW!!! :lol: Wear mask

 

[GRoth265]

Allan I'm still out of town but i'm sure that if you search Quality Inn at Arlington WA. you can find them. My wife went up and talked to them. If I remember right they offered a weekly buisness rate at around $80 a night. I pretty sure thats the best deal we found but you will have to drive a little for shopping and food. Greg

[GRoth265]

For Allan and others, Another hotel options is the Quality Inn at Arlington WA. Phone # 360-403-7222. There is also a Holiday Inn but when my wife talked to them they were more expensive than the Medallion. Greg

 

[WIDEBOY]

So do you have any entries yet are you going to post them so we can see how many are going.

Thanks

 

[Mike Hughes]

I have received 12 so far and verbal commitments from quite a few. Most times the entries take a little while to get rolling. I guess I can post a list when there is a few more than 12. Here is a couple: Mark and Kim Grim, Jerry Dunlap, Robert Holland and his clan, Bill and Dave Brandt.

[Rokieboater]

Last year we received about 75% of the entries the 6 weeks before the entry deadline.

Just a little bit about Robert

I think the day Jerry put up the link for the nats was the day his entry was post marked. In a little bit of a hurry, are we? As the Bon Marche comerical goes, open open open.
