I like V's idea of Weed. It's not as far as Dunsmuir, but the time we'll save in not repacking is worth staying the same place 2 nights running. Plus, if we want a group rental like a cabin, a 2 night stay is probably easier to arrange. Less work to make the reservations, make sure nobody gets lost finding the place, blah-blah-blah. Plus, 2 nights in one strange bed is less lost sleep that 2 nights in 2 strange beds. Weed is on the more open stretch of freeway past Dunsmuir so our speed can pick up again. Also, Yreka as NO group rentals. It would have to be motels.

I'm leaning towards this place in Shasta
Mt. Shasta Resort

A two bedroom chalet sleeps 2 - 6, depending on how cozy you want to be for $203.00 a night. You have a kitchen and there is a nice restaurant, so Sarah doesn't HAVE to cook, if she's too tired after the ride.

Yahoo says it's 41 minutes to Yreka from Mt. Shasta. Not a bad drive in my mind.

And hey we all go get manicures and pedicures at the spa on Sunday.

What color polish is Thom going to get?

I'd already been talking on the side with a couple of friends who don't post on this forum but I hope to see tomorrow. They may not be willing to commit yet, in which case they can alwasy find another place. This place does look good. I'm happy as long as I have my own bed; I can share a room but not a bed being a topsy-turvy sleeper.

Oh, the Shasta place looks nice....can we stay longer? I'm still not totaly committed, but I'm leaning towards yes.

I don't know yet if I can do the ride, but we stayed at the Mt Shasta Ranch B&B for a family reunion about 7 years ago and really liked it.

V, are you willing to take on the group rental for anyone who wants to participate?

If so, when is your deadline? J&J said last night they want to go, but I think that if you are making the reservations they should be commiting directly to you.

Jason takes charge of our group reservations for Bend so they know how difficult it is to do this.

Thom and I will probably go with the place I listed before. Mostly 'cause I've never rented a house before and I was little freaked by cleaning fees. Probably the way it's always done - but shouldn't regular stuff be included in the cost?

Anyway they say the two bedrooms sleep six. I'm thinking there must be a fold out couch. One room has twin beds. We'll be cozy, but that would work for the 5 of us.

There are other options available too - single rooms with two beds for about 100. I like having a kitchen so we can eat before we go. Belgian wafflles with maple syrup and peanut butter. The frozen waffles are good, but I do have a prep the night before recipe...
