Hi:

The Mission is on, Rich will be posting an itinerary in the next few days which should give anyone going time enough to make plans. 

Hotel rooms in Breezewood book early so if you are planning on riding out the night before please plan your room booking early.  I have blocked a group of rooms at the following:

Holiday Inn Express
Breezewood PA

***Phone: 1-814-735-7666 - DATE TO START MAKING RESERVATIONS MONDAY 3/5/07***

RATE $76.00 PER NIGHT PLUS TAX

There are fifteen rooms blocked at this special rate –

** 3 Smoking Rooms are available that night.

** There are more than 12 Non-Smoking rooms, however, only 12 are guaranteed to be held at this rate.

***The close date for reservations is Thursday 3/15/2007***

When you call the hotel you must state you are calling for the Patriot Guard Riders rate. Please remember DO NOT MAKE RESERVATIONS UNTIL AFTER 3/5/2007, nothing will be in the computer until that date.

I figure by staying overnight in Breezewood it negates having to ride across the PA Turnpike at 0300 and allows for a good nights rest prior to the days Mission and return to home.  There are other hotels in the area that may have rooms, however, this area is a BIG stopping point for tour buses and many rooms are booked long in advance.
