There are several of us working on the lodging front. We'll post any meaningful updates as we have them. We've got lines out on a couple of places and we're waiting to hear back.
24-27 July: Monkeyfest, the heresy
- Thread starter johnbryanpeters
- Start date
but what about the bacon?
Hi there old friends!!!!
I'm liking the ideas on the MF change-a-roony! Mark & I have been debating making a return to the MF crowd this year & this is making it very tempting! I like the idea to look at Millstone as an option... If anyone wanted to head up to Waterbury I'd gladly wait for you all at the Blackback Pubwhile you ride Perry Hill (?). Perry Hill made me cry a couple of years ago.
I'm going to have to talk to Mark about making an appearance this year.

yeah i need lots of planning with the new kiddo if i can make it...
I am hoping to have something confirmed in the next week or so.
I'm out. hopefully will have a new hip by then
I am out for this year as I will be out in Pacific Northwest this year and may have a new job in pa and will be settling into new digs around that time.
I have a previous engagement for that weekend (harpoon fest) tickets are already purchased.
Also have a wedding to attend the weekend before.
Any chance of pushing it back a week?

How are we doing on securing a place to stay?
I've got a friend who is planning to fly in from Indiana to join us. Is the date confirmed and do we know the location?
Can I fling my poo? I'm local keep in mind. 
You would be most welcome!Can I fling my poo? I'm local keep in mind.
Awesome. I tied off the sleeve on a Raincoat over the winter and that thing is packed full.
Can we at least confirm dates so that people can make flight arrangements?
I think TreeSaw will be posting later today with details. I don't know if it's still Thu-Mon inclusive, but I'm fairly confident that it's still the weekend of the 26-27th.
If the weekend gets shortened, there's a few of us who are contemplating a couple of days up at KT preceding MF. There is an awesome campground close to KT (not the one on the mountain) that is cheap and even has 3 or 4 cabins that can be rented at a very reasonable cost. If we can get our act together reletively soon, we could book those cabins while they are still available. I've stayed there twice and it's a very pleasant place with friendly owners.
Dates are confirmed. I have a house rented for July 24-27 (arrive Thursday and check out Sun AM). I'll know more about cost soon, but dates are confirmed....let's get this booked! (note: I believe I am getting a good faith discount to because they owners have flaked on sending details so many time). Place sounds AWESOME...lots of room, land, a volleyball court, swimming on site, etc. LOTS of new trails to ride too.
where's the new house TreeSaw?
Can we jump bikes into the pool?
Looks Awesome!
Hey...Since we have to leave Sunday morning, is anyone interested in planning a trip to Whiteface Sunday-Monday? (This may get vetoed, I haven't asked Mudgirl if she's interested yet.)

I *may* be able to make this. I can't commit to anything at this point.
So where is the house? As in what town? Is there a site that has the rental house where we can look at it?
So if we have the house Thursday evening, I propose riding KT Wednesday and Thursday with an overnight at Burke Cottage Rentals and Campground. This campground is really nice. Anyone interested?

Is there room for any drunkin shenanigans at the new place?
Rochester, VT
Not a pool...a pond and a waterfall/stream.
I'll post more details soon. It's really nice!

does the new place also come with a local constable to show up in sweats and flip-flops with socks?
Ahhh, I'm gonna miss Constable FunSponge. Who's going to warn us about parking violations and holes in the field?

I've started a list in the first post. If you're in or on the fence, let us know so that TreeSaw can start working on the cost.
Count me and Beneway in.
