You have NO idea!!! I am on the phone trying to fix this now!
What's going on?
Wow, that was your 10,000 post. At least there's something to be happy about!
We don't have the Lodge....LONG STORY...and I am pissed! I have 2 other options in the works right now so stay tuned!
Edit: MAke that 3 options (none of which are camping either).
WOW! I didn't even realize I was close! Silver linings or something like that!Wow, that was your 10,000 post. At least there's something to be happy about!
I STILL say move it to Treesaw's house!! Closer drive for all (most?), great trails... AND, I would be able to go! 
Ok -- we have 2 lodging options to choose from so far:
1) Stay at condo at Burke Mountain (very close--within biking distance to trails) with food still included for $100 per person
OR
2) Stay in a house on Island Pond (about a 20-25 minute drive northeast of Burke) for the same price as the Lodge.
I haven't looked in to camping as of yet as there is a chance of rain both Saturday & Sunday and lows around 40. I can do that too.

I vote for condo. How many does it sleep though? The lodge has lots of bunk beds. Are we all going to fit in a condo?
Edit: Saving $15 isn't worth the hassle of having to schlep 25 minutes to and from Burke each day, not to mention being that far from the trails.

I am told the condo sleeps 12 and it looks like we have 11 so we will be fine at either location.
Night rides down the Burke Mountain trails.
MBC is out of the office at the moment and I've been text messaging her about this. She agrees to go the condo route.
I would prefer to spend less if we could so I would vote for Island Pond. I've got a little one on the way so I need to save money where possible. $85 was already pushing it for me.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I had NO idea (boy am I outta the loop).
LOL! Now I don't feel so bad!WHAT!?!?!?!
Well we're not club OFFICERS, so I'm not that surprised.LOL! Now I don't feel so bad!
LOL!!! You're such a trouble makerWell we're not club OFFICERS, so I'm not that surprised.
I've been camping 3 times this year all out of necessity - so I'd do it but I wouldn't be happy about it!
I vote condo.
and btw, we have to go because I bought the dip fixings.

Thanks, we've had problems before so I wanted to wait till we were further along beofre we let everyone know. She's about 15 weeks.
LOL! I wasn't really interested in camping this time either as it may rain on Saturday night and be cold (40). AND, I want dip!!!!I've been camping 3 times this year all out of necessity - so I'd do it but I wouldn't be happy about it!

Treesaw, if the condo is a go, please send us the address so we know where to go.
If you weren't an admin, I would have you banned.Well we're not club OFFICERS, so I'm not that surprised.
But thanks.
It's one of them....the Bear Path one. Are you coming?
T, can you post the new info on the elevate board as well? Luca was interested in going and wants to know if we have room in the condo.
and tell us what size sheets to pack!Treesaw, if the condo is a go, please send us the address so we know where to go.
All linens are included, but the beds are queen size.
NEW LODGING INFORMATION!!!!
We are renting the Bear Path Condo Unit #44 from Burke Vacation Rentals. I have directions to the Burke Rental Office, but not to the actual condo. I am pretty sure they are on the right just before the Burke Campground. But, if you get there before us (we should be arriving at 4:30pm) you can stop by the office and get directions. The directions to the office are: From Interstate 91 North, take exit #23 onto Route 5 north. This is a right off the exit ramp. Follow Route 5 through the town of Lyndonville, which will involve two 90 degree turns.
At the intersection of Route 5 and Route 114, take a right onto Route 114 heading north. Once you are on Route 114, you will travel approximately 5 miles before reach the village of East Burke.
As you are entering the town of East Burke the fire station is the first building on the left. If you look to your right, you will see our building as shown in the photo above. We are actually the 3rd building on the right after the “Log Yard”. Our outside lights will be on if it is evening.
I have e-mailed Barbara the list of who is staying with us so who ever checks in first will get the key & directions to the condo and should leave the condo open for everyone else. They will have more directions for anyone who needs them.
Any other questions?
