I was all over it but then I saw the chandeliers.

come live next to us!

I would prefer 19-25 or 26-1.

I'm assuming July 22-29 is good. Please speak up soon if it is not!
6 hours SW of Denver

Yeah Tycho -- great start to my morning seeing you stand!

I couldn't find the Indian Peaks lodge info but if it is like the others then we wouldn't have a kitchen or central gathering spot so I say keep looking.

Here's the YMCA of the Rockies answer:
We are booked for the summer of 2015 for the reunion cabins but we do have up to 7 rooms in the Indian Peaks Lodge that has 2Q and 1 Q sleeper Sofa, private bath and patio or balcony. The price is per person and is based on the number of adults 13+yrs in each room. Children 6-12 are $20 ea per day and children 0-5 are FREE.

6 per room....we'd probably need 4. Keep looking? or Book it?

I'd say colorado is already quite enlightened.

I assumed we had chosen Colorado because it was Where the ingress enlightened needed the most help.

What about the North Pole?

What about Vegas?

texans can handle 3-5 hour drive getting in/out, 2 hour drives for daytime excursions and 3 minute drives for liquor runs.

Dates not fixed yet. Trying not to shift to the first of the month.
And I put in a quote request from YMCA of the Rockies

You might also look into the YMCA of the Rockies, again. Their website looks better than it did 5 years ago. And that place looks pretty awesome.

Are those dates fixed? Because this place in Estes Park is available but requires a Saturday start date. It's not one big house, but 4 condos instead, with common area in the middle.

How far away from Denver are we willing to drive?
The front range is mostly booked (as mom discovered).

I like the Colorado ideas as well. Denver is a pretty easy airport to fly into and rent a car. The Minneapolis house looks fun too.

love the colorado ideas. those houses look great, llamas not absolutely *mandatory* for ohlerama.

We might have better luck
in Lincoln, NE
Rathbun Lake in IA
90 miles west of
Minneapolis

just wondering if you like the idea

The one in Durango looks good, the two in Estes Park aren't
available in July if I'm reading the calendar correctly. The
llama place doesn't have a calendar, and the Divide isn't
available for part of the time on the dates you gave.

How about this for Ohlerama?
Durango area
Estes Park
also Estes Park
or maybe you like llamas
perhaps Divide
also inquiring about this, though it is a little further away from Denver

And how about July 22-29 for Ohlerama?
(Sorry folks, my June is already gone...gone...gone)

Happened on a podcast about The Future Library Project. I liked the idea. Maybe the youngest of my grandkids will be around to read one of the books.
