KHCR 2021 August 12 - 14

[justjoe]

The 2021 version of the Kentucky Hill Country Rally will be held August 12, 13, and 14 of 2021 at The Lil Abner Motel & Cottages in Slade KY. Lil Abner is located between the Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge State Parks. If you have any thoughts or desire to attend this function my advice is to book a room NOW. This motel is a prime point for hikers in both parks. It is also a big draw for reunions and weddings. The rooms go quickly and several months in advance. You have been warned.

The motel information is as follows:

Lil Abner Motel & Cottages
1000 Natural Bridge Rd
Slade, KY 40376

Thanks to Matt (gonejonesin) and The, for setting this up and to Joe for posting! We're reserved and ready!

Looks kinda small, how many rooms does the establishment have?
Any eating places, beer/booze restocking areas nearby?

[justjoe]

You may be surprised to know that some of us have scoured the area looking for these things. There is some planning that goes into making a gathering happen. It ain't just throwing shit on a wall to see what sticks.

As TIm said, there is a pizza shop that does breakfast right up the road, a BBQ place right next door, Mexican food, a Subway up the road. There is also fuel close by.

Mexican! That settles it for me.

Thank you for the support men! As for the number of rooms, it is about 45 and 4 suites. If my mind serves me proper. Plenty of supplies close by and/or a rather short drive. It is less than 1 mile South of exit 33 off the Mountain parkway on hwy 11.That is 33 miles Southeast of I-64 exit in Winchester. And as for the pizza place, very well regarded eatery. And a BBQ is right beside the motel along with a general store with beer available.

Just spoke with Bill Abner, nice guy. 42 rooms total. I got one with 2 queen beds. Now, I just have to go out and find me a queen.

Pick me. pick me !!

[Lee]

Is this building also part of the motel?

[Bmorganjr]

[Bmorganjr]

[Lee]

That make sense Bill because the rooms look deeper.

[Rob]

We have a room reserved. The king bed rooms were already booked (there are three of those), so we got a room with two queen beds. I told Beth we can push them together. The Jungle Room!

[Rob]

Wes, too kind! Thank you!

Just to check the dates. Is the 12th through the 14th accurate (Thursday - Saturday)? I am looking at the calendar for next year and figured it'd be Friday the 13th through Sunday the 15th.
