Hotel

Apparently, it does not seem that Ragnar will have facilities for us to use along the route.  All of the options AnneMarie presented to Carrie didn't pan out, because Ragnar was too late to approach the facilities for approval.

Tom has come up with another option for a hotel between exchanges 18 and 24.  This will allow Van 1 to use it twice (after the 1st leg and then again after the second leg.  Van 1 will use it after their second leg.Here are some details he provided in an email to the Van 2 team members.  It seems they are all for it.  How about Van 1?  I can speak for three of us as a hearty, "Yes!"  After my 10 miler, I will need a shower.  Who needs sleep anyway, tight?!  Any other thoughts or votes?


If we get a place between exchanges 18 and 24, maybe Van 2 could use it twice (after 1st and 2nd legs), and Van 1 could use it once (after 2nd leg).  We could pass keys off at the exchanges.  It would mean around an extra hour of driving for Van 2 compared to just camping at the exchanges.  But it's not that bad because exchanges 18 and 24 are ridiculously close together.  (Side note: It won't take Van 2 very long to do our night runs.  Estimate is currently 3:45.  Van 1 will have precious little time to sleep.)

Here is the plan as currently contemplated:
 book 2 rooms with 2 double beds each at the Ramada Limited San Marcos

•  Total cost is about $114; we split it 12 ways and pay around $10 each
•  Van 2 will be there after our first leg from about 5 to 10PM; we can make one room quiet so people who want to sleep choose that room.
•  Van 1 will be there after their second leg from about 11:15PM to 1:45AM We will pretty much only have time to shower.
•  Van 2 will be there after our second leg from about 3 to 6:15AM; we put Gredings and Omers in one room and Tiffany and Jen in the other.
