Hotlanta Hucktoberfest 3D Huckathon-Who's in?

[reyn3545]

Nope... just flyers.

[IFLY]

I see there are several hotels in Canton, Woodstock, Cumming, Acworth, and Cartersville. Can anybody from the local area make any suggestion on a hotel.

After being the CD for the Vegas Huckfest......

I want nothing more than to attend this one and fly, fly, fly and then fly some more!

But I can't make it as I'll be TDY for the military that weekend.... I hope to make the Houston Huckfest though.

Hi Larry
Yes, exactly, I will be coming down Rte 95 S, I will try to get someone to ride with me as 16 hours maybe too much for one person, we will definitely hook up on my way down, what better group of people than you guys?
The Rickjamesbeotch in me is getting exited.

IFLY,

If you are looking for hotels you may also want to look around the Alpharetta area, it is less than twenty minutes away and everything you need is right there ( food, stores and bars).

Found a great rate at the Sun Suites of Cumming. About 15min away from Ball Ground.
Can't wait till Huck Time.

I FLY

Is the motorhome thing OK? I understand there are no hook-ups.

For easy access, I would suggest any of hte hotels listed in the Cumming or Alpharetta area... something close to GA-400. There are a number to choose from, from the Marriott in Alpharetta to several less expensive options in Cumming.

As for Motor Homes.. I'll defer to the Extreme Flight sponsors... there's plenty of level space out there, but I don't know how they plan to manage it.. it could be eaten up very quickly.

[EXTREME FLIGHT]

Motor homes will be allowed on a first come first served basis. There are no hook-ups however.
I posted a brief update on another thread yesterday which I'll post again here:

HUCKTOBERFEST 2007

I'm trying to work out details...I really want to make this one...

[EXTREME FLIGHT]

Come on down Cracky! We need you here!

[Cracky]

I really want to make it. I was hoping that you would have had the Yak55 profile done by then but I think its a bit too early. I tried killing my old EF profile edge a couple of weeks ago. Battery croaked on me and the plane just wouldn't break. She's a little rough around the edges, but still flying.
