MAMMOTH LAKES
ROAD TRIP:
From Trip
Organizer Bob Brown
:
4-5-08- I would like to get a commitment for lodging at
Mammoth so I could make a deposit on lodging. Let me know what
you think of the place recommended
below:
.
A
summer road trip to Mammoth Lakes, CA, which is
near Yosemite and perhaps, more importantly, is where Olympic long
distance runners Deana Kastor and Ryan
Hall live and train,
is being planned. Here are the details:
Leave Houston- either late Tuesday, July 29th
or early Wednesday July 30th (there is a 9PM flight to Reno)
Return to Houston , Sunday, August
3rd.
Activities include:
running, hiking, day trip to Yosemite , paddling, etc. This is
the weekend of the Mammoth Beer and Blues Festival
(http://www.mammothbluesbrewsfest.com/)
that should be a fun addition to the weekend. Mammoth is a ski
town and summer is considered off-season. Estimated
cost: Airfare ($350), Lodging ($70/day), Transportation
($20/day) plus food and drink.
One place that
was recommended to me is the link below:

Details from the
reservation agent:
We do have several options available
that may suit your needs; one recommendation I can make is our Snowflower complex. Snowflower is composed of all two-bedroom loft
units with three bathrooms. They can sleep between eight and ten, so
depending on your group you may want to consider renting two
units. You can check our web site www.MammothLakes.com to
view the complex and the units available there. The rates for your
dates are between $190 and $210 plus tax a night depending on
whether you would like a standard, above standard or upgraded unit.
We do have a summer special where you can stay for seven nights, pay
for five. The special on these units would be between $950 and $1050
plus tax for the week. Please let me know if I can assist you with
any other questions.
This would
probably be a good option because we can add another condo if we get
more interest. I would like some commitments.
Roundtrip flights are $360. Also, note that if
anyone is interested in staying a full week, we can get two nights
free. I might be interested in staying longer.
