A few people have talked about going to the RA Rally Jul 6-8 in Petoskey, MI. Who's serious? There are several hotels very near the rally site, but they are filling up and they've really jacked the prices. America's Best Value still has some rooms for $145/night ($86/night the week before) on Hotels.com.
I will probably go. Any body checked other hotels. Douglad

The RA web site has remarkably little information, not even naming the venue - there's actually more information on their forum than on the rally web page. The best I can gather it's at the county fairground, coordinates 45.368791, -84.981692. (Copy and paste those into Google Maps.) A search on other travel sites or individual hotel web sites may be more attractive, I just haven't taken that time yet, but that's a good exercise when I get done building my snowman tomorrow.
Pete, Dana and I may be interested. What are the details? Ed Zarb Zarb Homes, LLC P.O.
