That’s the exactly the kind of recommendation I was looking for!I'll throw out my $0.02, but this subject is worthy of a whole thread by itself. In no particular order, my faves are:
Bubba's BBQ - an icon. I have a motel room for the Gathering that I can roll out of into Bubba's in >1 minute for a reason
And, lest someone yank your chain, there is no secret password or handshake. Some people just know each other from previous Gatherings and kind of group up, that said everyone I’ve met at a Gathering has been friendly and open to welcoming newbies.
That was a great day!I met up with @Andy Mink and his crew (thanks again!) at Mt Rose last season. He showed me all around and was super awesome which was enough to convince me to come to a gathering.
My wife and I are seriously considering this trip. Really could use recommendations for accommodations w/o breaking the bank. It's been 25+ years since I was there and have no idea. Any help would be truly appreciated!
Thanks!
Is it the Elk Country Inn?
You're a bad father!he had to buy his own Ikon Pass!!
LOL I had him working at the GM plant for my facilities maintenance crew as a union laborer. He was making 19.75/hr. Not bad for a first job!! Showed him how to get a credit card and establish credit. He's got a 675 score. He had to start paying his own car insurance, phone bill, etc. That was a bit of a pill for him to swallow at first. Then he had to buy car parts. Then mean dad made him buy his own Ikon. Well, now he up and moved out into an expensive lease apartment in Colorado with some friends and has to find a job. He graduated from EMT-B class. He's a member of the NSP. I told him to get on a professional patrol. He's afraid it won't pay enough and wants to join the IBEW. I'm curious to see what he does. He's about to learn a bunch of very valuable lessons that he wouldn't have learned if he had stayed here and rode the gravy train. I hope he can make it out to one of the gatherings. He is my ski buddy and I'm going to miss him if he can't make it.......You're a bad father!
I hear you....He is my ski buddy and I'm going to miss him if he can't make it.......

I didn't know that! Thanks.Finally made some firm plans. Booked flights & a room at the Antler. Not sure if I saw it in this thread, but all of the Town Square properties have a 15% IKON discount (at check-in).
I booked mine through one of the travel sites and already got a 15% discount off of the normal rate so I doubt I could add this on top of it but I'll certainly ask at check in.Finally made some firm plans.
