I like this plan--book the Fri night motel but leave Sat night open and flexible. The main reason for this in my mind is the possibility of bikes breaking and folks heading home early. No need to be stuck with a $30 to $70 motel bill on top of a repair bill. Otherwise, I'm confident we'll be in Clarksville Sat night. For Ozark, I guess my vote is for the Oxford Inn primarily because I've stayed before and thought it was clean and friendly.allkidd wrote:Room reservations-there are 3 motels in Ozark...I just called 2 of them and they both indicated that as of now they have a lot of rooms available. Ozark Inn-$55 single and $60 double...Oxford Inn-$69 for all rooms. Clarksville has about 8 motels and I called a Best Western and they indicated all rooms are available and should not be a problem for that saturday night. Reservations or not I'm okay either way....the only problem with reservations is that we are then locked into making it to that destination.
I did not know this--sounds very cool, and I hope we get lucky and see some gliders.allkidd wrote:...The only certified hang gliding site is here...hopefully, there will be some hang gliders as it is really cool to see them in thermals way higher than the launch site.
At this point it looks like the brothers baum will be meeting us Sat morning. So it's probably kickstands up when they arrive--I doubt they'll arrive much earlier than 9 am. They will be pushing hard to make 9 am I'm sure. As long as we know you are coming, brothers, we'll wait. No problem!allkidd wrote:Saturday morning leave time-as far as I'm concerned the earlier the better to get more ride time...how about kick stands up no later than 9:00.
