OFFICIAL AOTH XII Thread-May 17-19, 2012

[Thirdchildhood]

I may have a friend willing to help with expenses to attend AOTH (GAS). Will burn lots of gas! In the truck and in the boat. What does it cost to rent a slip for two nights? Does anyone else crash on their boat? Are there toilet facilities at the docks? I don't mind bathing in the lake if no public showers. I've done that lots of times. It gives new meaning to "don't drop the soap". How much does the cheapest room cost? This is all contingent on getting someone to run my business that week-end. Just looking for a rough estimate of what this will cost me besides about a grand for fuel.....BTW, this friend is a heavyweight, really slows me down...

Carl, slip fees are $10-15 per night. There are showers at the dock. You can rent a cabin on the hill for $60, or less, per night, which is what I would suggest you do, because it is early in the season and it normally will rain some. Don't worry, we all will burn a lot of gas!

Carl, beyond what Todd mentioned, I've not stayed in a cabin up the hill (they may be roomy too), but the lodge suites right above the pier are pretty big. A king or queen in one room, a bathroom, and a pull out sleeper sofa in the fully separate living room. So, if you were able to line up some singles who didn't mind the setup, you could get away with 4 in a lodge room. That might run $30/night per man retail--I can't recall our group rate but I think it'd be a bit cheaper.

I can imagine you might find some folks to go in together on digs, FWIW.

Cabins are a steal.. We had a three bedroom one last year...

[Thirdchildhood]

Thanks. I've slept out in the rain before and just snapped the ****-pit cover on and left enough open for fresh air. Anyway, like I said, this guy is big and there is no f'in way we could both sleep up front so he'd be on the seat or diagonally across the cockpit floor and I don't think he will go for that so a cabin it would be. I personally like sleeping on the boat. It's just cool with the sounds of the lake and the rocking and fresh air and all. I will look into it further and look into the schedule and all. It sounds like most leave Sunday morning.

BTW, the link says that the featured boat is the 16 Classic. You might want to fix that since it is the Cig 20.

I found someone to run my store. Just might make AOTH this year!

[Glashole]

Same here. We're booked for AOTH and Chatt, so I thinik we'll see y'all twice, right? (Crossing fingers that the boat will be ready for the 17th, but I think we've got a good shot unless we hit a real snag. If not we'll be bumming rides in Jamestown again, but I think we should make it. Brian Orlandi's kicking some serious butt, as well as some other folks. I can't wait to run her with all the changes.)

[LadyGrizz]

Hey there! Just wondering if y'all got my check et al. It hasn't hit my bank and I want to make sure it got to ya. Andrew and I will be rolling in sometime Thursday afternoon, I think. Can't wait to see you all!

Your good Barb. We have a whole stack of checks sitting here, as I haven't been down to Kentucky, where the MWDC bank is located, in a few weeks now. See you guys soon!
