Work is overrated :truckergirl:

I am planning to overnight at Gilboa Friday and Saturday. Look for something resembling tent condos with all the cool people hanging around! Yeah, we'll be set up right next to them. (Red Corolla, Ohio plates. Ber has a gray HHR, and what ever you do, don't call it a PT Cruiser. )

It looks like the lows will be a bit cool in the mornings. Crawling out of a toasty sleeping bag at...what?!?!??...meeting at 8AM! To be expected though, best to get in and out before the place really gets jammed.

I'll be crawling out of my own cozy bed at... what... 6 am to make sure I'm up there in time. Ugh. Cozy bed, good. 6 am, bad.

Any suggestions on a hotel up there? I haven't looked. Cheap, safe and decently clean, preferably.

6 am is nothing I will be leaving at 5. And Trucker girl there are several hotels in Findlay that are cheap, safe and hotel clean.

I've been toying with joining everyone this weekend. Right now my plans are to arrive Saturday - sometime after the deep time. (READ: NOT at 8am!) & to tent Saturday night.

I've stayed at the Super 8 (I think it's a Super 8, might be Comfort Inn--it's across the road from Steve's Dakota Grill and sits far from the road) and the Roadway in Findlay. The Super 8 has more comfortable beds but I believe Roadway is less expensive. Whichever one you stay at it's less expensive to book a room in person as opposed to booking on the internet.

My DM is coming up on Sat night and bringing his camper, not sure how much room he'll have but palming him some cash might get you a bunk

I stay at the Red Roof Inn in Findlay. Inexpensive and clean. I run into other divers there, too.

Thanks for the info, guys and gals!

No camping for me. I won't sleep. I have a low noise threshold. I can sleep through my husband blaring his computer game in the next room, but not through whispering and tittering. Strange but true.

You are not alone in your refusal to camp...I am a sworn non-camper.

As a completely unrelated and somewhat thread-hijacking side note- anyone use the CLC Check-Inn card? I use it whenever possible. It's free and you get group rate discounts. We've gotten hotel rooms that were selling at $80-$100 for $40 before. They charge $5/night which is included in your discount rate. You use the Check-Inn card to pay for your room and the Check-Inn card charges whatever credit card you have on file with them.

Red Roof Inn in Findlay is on the list.
