I was checking on the reservations and Tracy asked me to contact everyone who wanted to stay for 2023. She has 9 rooms for us. Email her asap and let her know if want a room (aka cabin).

I emailed to let her know we still plan on April 11, 12 ,13 and 14th.

Tracy did not reply to my email so I called to make sure she had our reservation.

I received a email confirmation today from the Vaquero Motel. The rate shown for 4 nights was $516 plus tax with a total of $593.40.
This is higher than the $119 a night I was told by Cindy. Do I have her name right?
Maybe they are charging a lot more for Friday night.
I called and I think it was Ellen I talked to. They have new staff in place.
Ellen has no record of anything Cindy setup.
She will contact Cindy tomorrow and get back to me. I told her if she needed to call instead of email to wait until Friday.

Anyone get a email confirmation today?

[Lee]

I called the River Inn instead of the Bandera place by mistake.
I'll call the Vaquero on Friday.

The last time I spoke to Cindy she said they would not book the rooms until the new year. I would be very surprised if they honored $119.00 but we'd take it!

[Lee]

Mike made a reservation with Tracy yesterday and she said Friday is higher which is not unusual.
He mentioned he may change his reservation to arrive Mon, leave Fri.
If Fri is $40 more we may do the same.

Let me know what dates are desired. We would have to back up a half dozen reservations already made, but that should be easy this early on.

I was wondering if you had your reservations made.
I called the Hunt River Inn back this morning to explain I had called the wrong place. She was pretty good about it and said she thought one of us was crazy and she was hoping it was me

I talked to Mary Jane this morning. Week day rates are $119 and weekend is $159
Being cheap we changed to arrive Monday and Leave Friday, 4 nights
Mike texted me this morning and said him and Tyson will arrive Monday.
Mary Jane said property taxes took a big jump because California people are moving into the area and paying stupid high prices for properties.

She said Wifi repeaters have been added.
Two heavy Adirondack chairs by the fire rings in front of the cabins.
New internet TVs. We won't know how to use those but we watch very little TV at these rallies.

Thanks for the update. We will be arriving on Tuesday via Chicken Earl's and leaving on Friday.

"California people are moving into the area and paying stupid high prices for properties."
I don't buy that... taxes are based on budgets and grand list. Unless they tax businesses
more to keep residential property taxes down.
Many are raising prices because the demand is greater and they have to pay help more.
I'd do the same thing!

[Capnrip]

Yes Mike, it's up to the town or county government to make the tax rate revenue neutral or somewhat so. I know our assessment went way up this year.

A few Google pictures of the Vaquero.

[Loggiebone]

that place looks great. Good find!!

Heard from Curt today, he made a reservation.
Originally she said the cabins would be held for us until end of year but she wants to release them sooner.
Right now we have 5 of the 9 cabins rented.
Tim and Susan
Me and Deb
Curt
Mike Knox
Tim Buyse

[cabnfvr]

Have you heard from Tyson?

[Lee]

Curt contacted Tyson today and it sounds like he will make a reservation today.

[Capnrip]

Have my Texas map out now. Hmmm.......

[justjoe]

I'm in cabin 1 on Tuesday, cabin 2 on Wednesday, cabin 3 on Thursday, and cabin 4 on Friday...

Somebody is getting lucky and somebody is missing out. You can be the judge of that.

[Doctor350]

At least you're not missing out
