This no hotel rooms thing is going to suck. I’ve camped enough to know I don’t want to do that at all for this event. Josh, I’m going to call you tomorrow, I’ll be looking for places. ---

Looks like Ithica isn’t a bad option :tup: Pass Mcgrass has been there all week working in Watkins Glen and staying in Ithica. He’s actually helping to build the hotel I wanted to stay at, but it won’t be done until August, lol. The Ramada there is $99 per night. There is also a sub-$100 hotel with availability in Geneva with about the same drive time. And thinking about it more, when we used to stay in Carlisle and in State College, PA (back when those shows were OK) it took us at least 40 minutes to get to the venue. I’m figuring this all out today - some of you should expect phone calls :tup: ---

Would there be room in a “Camping” spot to park my 20ft enclosed race trailer? Theblue and I were talking about putting his leather couch, some cots, maybe a TV in there hehe ---

Theblue and I were talking about putting his leather couch, some cots, maybe a TV in there hehe You can keep your trailer right in our showcase area :tup: That might actually be sweet for the display 🙂 And everyone WILL have passes to drive into the showcase area in the morning, and out of the showcase area at night if you want to. :tup: Hotel room prices and availability keep changing… but I’m on it. I should know more info later tonight. There are plenty of camping spots available near our area too. ---

**Alright guys, Just booked hotel rooms for myself and a few others!** If you want to stay with with us in a hotel, [CLICK HERE](http://www.americasbestvalueinn.com/bestv.cfm?idp=1353) and select the nights you want on the left. I plan on being there for Thursday (July 3rd) through Sunday night (July 6th) and this hotel is the cheapest and closest hotel to _The Glen_. One nice thing about this hotel is they offer 3 (Three) double bed rooms for about $80 a night. Regular 2 double bed rooms are only $76 or so. :tup: This hotel is in Geneva, which will cut down our overall driving for the weekend since it’s right on the way. That, and the hotels in Ithaca are twice as much now. **_GET THEM WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!_** ---
