Lets do this!
I figured I will start a clean post with just the facts.
Dates - 09-07-2023 thru 09-10-2023
Lodging - The Oregon Trail Motel and Restaurant, 211 Bridge St, Baker City, OR 97814 P# 541-523-5844 Manager is Mark Linderman but mention the Why Not M/C group and you should get the rates below from anyone that answers. For a Motel and Greasy spoon they have awesome reviews! https://tinyurl.com/4zc65d49
I would wait until he gets my just sent commitment email to call them (tomorrow 3-2-2023) I worked with the manager and came up with the following rates;
Singles (1 bed):
3 upstairs
8 downstairs
Double (2 beds):
11 upstairs
10 downstairs
We are offering 2 rates for this group. The rates are below.
No breakfast rates:
1 person 1 bed: $56.15 a night
2 people 1 bed: $61.77 a night
2 people 2 beds: $73.00 a night
With breakfast rates:
1 person 1 bed: $61.77 a night
2 people 1 bed: $67.38 a night
2 people 2 beds: $84.23 a night
Saturday Night Prime Rib Dinner - (Provided by the restaurant) and served at The Elks Lodge - 1896 2nd St. Baker City OR 97814. The cost is 30.00 Per Person which includes, Prime Rib a side, soup or salad, and a dessert. At the lodge dinner comes with coffee or water BUT you would have access to the bar there for all drink types. I will take payments for the dinner cause its a PIA that I don't want to burden the Restaurant with it given all the late adds and cancels. Maybe our friend John can ask Wayne to handle that and the release again, we will see.
THOUGHTS
If there is a concern that they do not have enough rooms there is also the Bridge Street Inn directly across the street whom I have not engaged. This place appears to have nicer rooms and the rates to match that - about $100 a night. We will cross that bridge if we book all the existing rooms...
I have also asked the Restaurant if they would be willing to run a Friday night Reuben Special if they do not already have one on the menu
I am working on a cool shirt for the event with the tagline something like "WHY NOT - NOT WHY" Does anyone have a good drawing or a photo with the background removed of just the back of an FJR showing the back of the bike and the plate? I am overlaying the plate so you can block it out if your noided about that stuff
This area is rife with phenomenal riding and we plan to head out Thursday am with a mid afternoon arrival.
I am looking forward to seeing old friends and hoping to meet some new ones!
