rogera Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 This will be Wicked Good! How about some plans for route and dates from the Florida crew? I'm going with plan A, that is the auto train from Stanford to Lorton VA. $379.00 round trip. It's still 604 miles from Lorton to the camp ground but at least I spared myself the ride up I-95.

Calvin (no socks) Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I haven't done I 95 in a few weeks...looking forward to the slab ride to upstate NY...then back roads to Connecticut (visit relatives). Might even have a 1300s by then. Link to comment
ltljohn Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Ok here goes, it's time for me to return some of the great hospitality I have gotten from the great people that I have met on business trips in the last couple of years. I live about 425 miles from the UN site just a bit north of Philadelphia. I have 3 couches in the house, 3 bunks and a queen size bed in the camper, some floor space and a bit of space for 4 or 5 small tents. These will be available first come first served basis. Please PM me and I will assist with directions because all the mapping software puts you about a half mile down the road from my house. Link to comment
azkaisr Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I want to say in. I know I can't though yet......it is one area of the country I really want to ride too. Kaisr Link to comment
mos Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Paul you and your group have done a fine job on picking the site. Let me know if I can be of help. Mike Link to comment

jimfastcar Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Got the call from Randy > I am in !! Per my other post, have a room with two beds, anyone want to share ? Link to comment
johnlt Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Randy just called to confirm the room I reserved yesterday. I'm in room #3. Link to comment
marcopolo Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I just received a call from Randy as well. I'm in Room #25 -- upper level of lower unit, a "room with a view". It has two beds. Link to comment
Draftermike Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Just logged on and see the UnRally location was announced days ago... afraid I might have been too late to get a room so I instantly jumped on the phone and was able to get room 19. Whoohoo!!! Now I'll go back and look up what state it's in and other minor details like that. Link to comment

Iron Al Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Crap. Rooms all gone already and no answer at the hotel. Looks like I may have to find another place to stay. Link to comment
Twisties Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Crap. Rooms all gone already and no answer at the hotel. Looks like I may have to find another place to stay. All the rooms gone? Was that posted? I think you might have mis-read something. Unless you mean you just called and were told that. Please clarify, thanks! Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Crap. Rooms all gone already and no answer at the hotel. Looks like I may have to find another place to stay. When you find something let us know. I was hoping to break my streak of not attending Un-ralley's since 2005. I'd love to go, but I am not camping. Shawn Link to comment

Shawn Well, there are only 32 registered attendees thus far (by my count) and they aren't all staying in the motel (52 rooms) so I'd guess there might still be rooms available. Give Randy a chance - after all, it is the weekend. Link to comment

Jacqueline Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I think... but I'm not sure... that it only looks like the rooms are all taken. If you go to their web-site the rooms for the days of the UN appear taken, BUT that may have been done to block them for us. Give Randy a call, get your name in for a room (via a voice message) and he will call you back. I believe I saw that there were 52 rooms. They can't all be taken already! Link to comment
SAMSAR Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Crap. Rooms all gone already and no answer at the hotel. Looks like I may have to find another place to stay. ??? Just landed in country a little while ago and looking at the postings now. I'm surprised Randy's out of rooms already. I've got a call into him to confirm. Regardless... with the rooms going so quickly, I'm going to talk with him to see if I can work out a deal with the other local motels... there are also some B&B's that might be options too for people... If need be, I can make a run up that way this weekend to hammer out the details. And here I was worried about just filling up the 52 rooms! I'm starting another thread for people wait-listed, room mates wanted, that sort of thing.... Please post there or send me a PM so I can get a sense on number of additional rooms needed beyond the 52 onsite. Thanks! Link to comment
SAMSAR Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Yes... Just a reminder that you should NOT be using the campground website... I believe the rooms are blocked there already and the website wouldn't know about the discounted rates. Call Randy directly... Sounds like he's been good about getting back to people.

waylap Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Lancaster has a few hotels right on main street also. The same roadway as the UN, just 2 miles down into town. No traffic to speak of-- Oh wait a minute- there is one traffic light --but it's only a flashing yellow one downtown in front of the bank. I love that town! Link to comment
SAMSAR Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Thanks waylap! I'll be working to lock those motels down too as alternates once the primary UN HQ rooms are booked. I should be able to secure a better group deal for everyone so don't make your reservations elsewhere yet! Randy and I will be trading emails on options over the next couple days. Thanks!

KMG_365 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Crap. Rooms all gone already and no answer at the hotel. Looks like I may have to find another place to stay. You're not out of luck, Al. Take a chill lozenge and go read the instructions again. I checked on their website the very hour Paul first told us about it (to look into the possibly getting one of the four cabins) and the three nights for all the motel rooms were already blocked off for our group. With 52 rooms, some folks bunking up and/or camping to save on funds there should be no problem getting everyone on site. Remember to let it ring through to Randy's cell phone and leave a message (if he doesn't answer). Randy is not on-site--he's down in Texas trying to enjoy a vacation . . . he should have checked with SAMSAR's schedule first!!! Bring it folks!!! LET'S MOTO!!!!!!!! If the riding is half as good as this location to host it appears to be . . . plus the UnTeam heading it up . . . THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE VERY BEST UnRALLIES EVER!!!!!! C'mon, Shawn!!!!! BREAK THAT STREAK!!!!!! Link to comment
ltljohn Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 (edited) Jamie, I grew up just east of there in central ME. I logged lots of miles during my High School days in western ME and eastern NH. There is awesome riding in every direction. Edited November 24, 2008 by ltljohn Link to comment
Paul Mihalka Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Looking at the pictures and description, this may be best Unrally site yet. IMHO they were all good, but for me until now the best was Cody. Paul to Paul, thanks for finding this place and all the work you and your co-conspirators are doing! Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 C'mon, Shawn!!!!! BREAK THAT STREAK!!!!!! I'm almost scared to... As Phillyflash puts it, there is some baaaaaaaaaaaad Ju Ju following me everytime I head to an unrally. 1. Eureka Springs: Spent most of 2 days hiding from the rain. 2. Cody: Spent 3 days in a hotel room recovering from Montezuma's revenge after a business trip to Mexico. 3. Stanton: Failed HES on Rainy's bike on the first day. After that... somehow we lost the urge to go... Link to comment
