Memorial Day Meet-greet

Well I'm sorry this is late but here is the information for lodging, RV sites and tent camping. I basically picked ones in a 15 mile stretch. I also list pages from the 2004 Milepost. Not sure yet were we will have our actual meet for this trip. That will come as we find out the number of people that will be attending. Looks like the 29th thru the 1st of June. So here it goes

Mile 210 - CANTWELL & the DENALI HIGHWAY
Mile 231.1 - McKinley Village Lodge (www.denalinationalpark.com) (Pg 389)
Mile 231.1 - Denali Grizzly Bear Campground & Cabins (www.denaligrizzlybear.com) (Pg 389) tent sites
Mile 238.5 - Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge (www.princesslodges.com) (Pg 390)
Mile 238.6 - Denali Rainbow Village & RV Park (www.denalirvrvpark.com) (Pg 391) also has tent sites
Mile 239 - McKinely Chalet Resorts (www.denalinationalpark.com) (Pg 391)
Mile 240.4 - Denali Riverside RV Park (www.denaliriversiderv.com) (Pg 391)
Mile 245.1 - Denali RV Park & Hotel (www.denaliRVpark.com) (Pg 392 & 401)
Mile 247 - Denali Park Hotel (www.denaliparkhotel.com) (Pg 408)
Mile 248.4 - McKinely RV & Campground (No Web Site Listed) (Pg 392) Tent sites available
Mile 248.8 - Denali North Star Inn (www.denalinorthstarinn.com) (Pg 393)
Mile 248.8 - HEALY
Mile 249.5 - Motel Nord Haven (www.motelnordhaven.com) (Pg 393)

I pretty sure there are more sites out there so if anyone know of them please chime in.

It would also be helpful for Alaska Chapter members to drop a line to myself or Heavnbound to let us know who will be attending and how many.

Thanks all and hope to see you there.

PS Wes I am looking at staying at the McKinely RV & Campground. They have trees.

WOW! Nice work Mike!

Yes, it would be nice to start getting a "head count" because reservations will NEED to be made VERY SOON!

I think our first choice will be:
"Mile 238.6 - Denali Rainbow Village & RV Park (www.denalirvrvpark.com) (Pg 391) also has tent sites"

it's right next to all the resturants in Denali and right next to a neat Pizza joint. But then again, a good old hotdog roast is FUN ALSO!
then our second choice will be the one your looking at.

But we do need to start getting some input, from you members that are going...PLEASE!

OK I'll wait to reserve until you guys get back. I home Sat but going Snowmachining/Crevase Rescue Practice Sunday. PS Trees. I guess I just like places were there is a natural barrier. Not sure how the parks are up by Denali.

Some talk about a trip down here for fishing and other activites. Not sure of when yet. June, Aug. I think Aug will be a better month for planning.
