Fall Colors Reservation Information
« on: July 22, 2021, 10:59:25 AM »
Welcome to Fall Colors 2021!!! I've heard that some folks have had a little difficulty in receiving the agreed upon rate of $95 a night. The people at the desk have a problem finding our reservation. I have had quite a discussion with Christin this morning, and here's the scoop. They have changed general managers, and there have made changes in their staff. Their main problem is an inability to hire anyone that wants to work. Seems that's a common problem these days! Why work, when you can do just as well sitting on your butt?!!

When you call, refer to the block of rooms reserved for the MSTA with a group ID# 4133968, and the special rate of $95 a night. If the person at the desk can't figure it out, go on and make the reservation at their normal rate of $140, and ask them to make a note under special requests for the MSTA. Don't sweat it, and If all else fails, I'll get it straight with management. Thanks for understanding, and I'm looking froward to seeing everyone. Syd Mayes

Hello everyone! Fall Colors is almost here, and if the event goes half as smoothly as Fly By week, I'll be extremely happy. Once again, Norm Kern did an excellent job with all facets of the event. It was a great pleasure to see many other members that I hadn't seen in quite a while. Here is a link to Doug Pippin's web site to the event: http://msta-se.com/fcr/  THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!! i MAY HAVE GIVEN THE WRONG DATES FOR THE EVENT TO SOME FOLKS AT FLY BY!! THE OFFICIAL DATES ARE 9/30 THROUGH 10/03. PLEASE NOTIFY ANY OF YOUR FRIENDS WHO MIGHT ATTEND WITH THESE CORRECT DATES! Pretty sorry when the coordinator doesn't know the dates of the event he's in charge of! :o I hope a lot of you folks will be able to overcome my shortcomings, and see me in Lewisburg, WV. Call me at 804-721-3399 or email me at touringman5@gmail.com, if you have questions ;D. Thank you, Syd

Just made my reservation, talked to Jo, and she knew what she was doing. Once I said I was with MSTA she gave me the royal treatment :)  Even without going last year I was "still in the system" and got my room booked for Thursday arrival.

Now I pray this early fall weather doesn't turn to winter before the end of the month.

See you in a few weeks.

I just made reservations. Looking forward to another MSTA event this year. Now lets hope for good weather. I just spent this past weekend at TWO of Suches with my Son on our DR650s, and the weather was perfect for riding and camping.

I'll be there Thursday.  I spoke with 3 Ohioans today who are planning to go and we know of 3 more.  Is there a Thursday group dinner plan?

I usually don't sign up for the dinner thing on Thursday, we have a long day ride from NE Ohio and rarely get in early enough to join the group. So its Ruby Tuesday for us Thursday night.

Hmm I see a place in the strip mall in front of hotel (next to Shoney's) called Habanero's Mexican Grill, is that new, have people tried it? Might be an alternative to repeated dinners at Ruby Tuesday and is a short walk.

Thanks I thought there was another eatery in that spot before, Google street view showed it closed/boarded up. The reviews looked pretty good and most were within last 2 years. I'll definitely give it a try, Ruby Tuesday is OK but can be really crowded Fri/Sat nights.

Has anybody visited the Hanging Rock Raptor Observatory north of Waiteville WV?  (Not far from Paint Bank)

Curious what the road conditions are getting there, and if the approx 1 mile hike from the parking lot was worth it.

Looks really cool online.  https://goo.gl/maps/neiGJZer8dv3ZUyF8
