If they had one in the Cascade Mountains, I'd go! ;)

I might be going. I'll probably be doing an all-dayer Thursday, leaving early AM from Seattle and arriving late PM in Colorado.

Interested in caravaning?

As time is short (a week until the event) please be sure to:

Register in NAM for the event
RSVP with Copper Mtn using the link and code in NAM under 'lodging'
RSVP for both the Friday and Saturday dinners, in the NAM store. There are no walkup tickets, you must have yours to join

Let us know if you have special needs. See you at Copper...

are there any major disadvantages if I were to not stay the copper mountain resort? Their availability is scarce.

you are OK on the logistics. Feel free to stay with friends or relatives if need be. And yes, Copper is VERY busy this time of year, peaking on Labor Day weekend. There will be LOTS of other members of the public, so 150 or so MINIs will be very high profile.

Regardless of where you stay, you will not want to miss our organized dinners on both Friday and Saturday night. Ralph Schomp MINI hosts our Friday dinner. We have speakers, guests, giveaways and raffles, plus pictures and other fun.

Our vendors host the Saturday dinner, and there are even more giveaways, fun, freebies, and more fun. Again, not to be missed - both are preceded by cocktail hours which is our way of talking about our rides, our days, and what to do tomorrow. Come meet new friends.

Be sure that whereever you stay, you can get back to Copper early in the AM for our rides. Rides leave beginning at 7 am... from the parking structure. Also, be sure to register for the event so you have our program with logistics, information, contacts, ride sheets, etc. Without this, you will be lost.

Feel free to use our thread here to look for lodging partners. There may be pp who are willing to share the cost and a room they have booked.

The closest towns for lodging are Frisco, Dillon and Silverthorne to the East. The Best Western Dillon has a rack rate this weekend of $85. Vail is 20 miles to the west, rates there are stratospheric of course.

Thanks, see you at Copper!

O ron just saw your post on caravaning , I'm leaving Wednesday and staying the night in Salt lake, if you change your plans let me know

o-ron · #10 08-03-2006, 02:16 PM

probably a better plan. i'd just rather not take any more days off work than i have to.

Thursday is going to be a long day for me

Good thing I'm bringing a friend to help drive

Sandie-

Did you make it to the event? I was there and looking for your MINI, but didn't find you...

It was a great event!

in fact, as we were cleaning up on Sunday, we found her spare wheel and tyre. We picked it up and sent it off...to Denver.

Well, Sandie came back. Short of it...we rescued the tyre, got it back to her, and she got off OK.
