EVERYTHING ON THIS TRIP IS JUST MY SUGGESTION AT THIS POINT.
I am still waiting on a reply from Shaniko. If it comes through we might change that. Depending on the cost difference otherwise this is it.
All your motels are listed with prices. The mileages may be off by as much as 10 miles on some. But this is what AAA gave me. Any questions, please contact me ASAP
Please make your reservations by the end of February if at all possible. We are going through some of these areas during the Labor Day holiday and most of the motels suggested we get our reservations in as early as possible. They said they are usually booked solid by the middle of March. AND REMEMBER WHEN YOU DO MAKE THEM BE SURE TO TELL THEM YOU ARE WITH THE NOR CAL VOYAGERS MOTORCYCLE CLUB. They have all said they will keep us as close together as possible if you tell them who you are with.
