. . Unfortunately, the accommodations in the two National Parks are filling up quickly. Almost everything is already "sold out." If you think you want to do this ride, you better book now. The possibility exists that as we get closer to the date several rooms will open up, since there is no harm to booking and then cancelling. You might want to call and see if the park has a waiting list.
. . If you can't find a "room" in the park, you still have the option of camping or finding something at the edge of the park. Since we have several vehicles on this ride, those two alternatives are workable. We have the possibility of our guests moving the cars to destination points where riders can then us them as needed.
. . Another alternative for those not bringing a guest is to book one of the cabins and then clandestinely throwing a bunch people with sleeping bags in it. It would be much warmer that a tent. Mammoth only has rooms, but there are motels a reasonable distance away.
. . At this time Bob, Bruce, Dave_S, and I have booked rooms/cabins. Please keep us informed of your plans so we can assist.

Tom, I'd like to book rooms, and am looking at your suggestions, but I do not know where you are staying. I do not want to end up in the wrong place.
ReplyDeleteEd, I have share space available as follows:
DeleteColter Bay; share room in two room cabin with Bruce and Wilma; not sure of individual costs as I write this.
Mammoth Hotel; share 2 queen beds, share toilet, cost you 50% of $104.33
Old Faithful Lodge, share 2 queen beds, cost you 50% $82.78
Please let me know if you're interested in sharing.
FYI, at Lake Lodge, only individual pioneer cabions were available when I booked a few days ago, so you need to get in quick there.
Ed, here is what I have booked. It is almost identical to what Bruce and Dave have booked. They haven't booked Colter Bay yet.

Tom
Do you have phone numbers to these places? If they've been posted previously I missed them. I'd like to book today also.
DeleteI also accidentally booked Sep 9'th at YS Lake Lodge, in addition to the CORRECT Sep 7'th date. I am going to hold it for a while. An alternative for those who might not be able to get into OF Lodge is to be ferried over to YS Lake for the evening and I can release it for them. I found my error when double checking my reservations for Ed (previous Comment). I now have my stuff fixed and my previous Comment is what all of us have been booking,
ReplyDeleteEd and Janice, I have sent you an email with the ONLINE reservation info. For others I recommend you use the ONLINE Reservations:

- Yellowstone http://www.yellowstonenationalparklodges.com/lodging/reservations/#top
Trying to get someone on the phone and then deciphering what you are told can be a little more frustrating.
Tom , for the record, these are my current reservations:
ReplyDelete1. Colter Bay: 2 Queens in one room of a two-room cabin reserved by Bruce
2. Lake Lodge Pioneer Cabin: one double bed $90.72
3. Mammoth Hotel: 2 queens, shared toilet, $104.33
4. OF Lodge, budget cabin : 2 double beds $82.78
I’ve already emailed Ed direct, suggesting a share arrangement for locations 1, 3 and 4.
