2002 AAS/DDA meeting
at Timberline Lodge

  Rooms

March 22, 2002: Timberline Lodge is now completely sold out of rooms for our meeting dates, and we have requests from at least two attendees to find rooms to share. If you have booked a room with a spare bed and would be willing to share, please let Al Harris know. Likewise, if you are planning to attend and still don't have a room, let him know that and he will try to put people in contact with each other to arrange for shared rooms. Please be sure to inform him of your arrival and departure days, gender, and whether you have or need a room. Reply to awharris@lithos.jpl.nasa.gov.

Additional housing may be available in Government Camp (that's its name, it's actually a town, not a camp), about 5 miles away. You will need a car to get to and from the meeting, so it's no cost saving, but if it's the only option, it's better than a tent (in spite of the town's name).

You can view pictures of the rooms and read descriptions of the different categories at http://www.timberlinelodge.com/Lodge/rooms.asp.

Unfortunately, you can only make reservations by phone: 800-547-1406. When reserving, be sure to mention the group name, DDA (the full confirmation code of group is DDAMM/DDAII, in case the reservationist doesn't recognize DDA). The following rates are guaranteed for our group (weekend rates in parentheses), single or double occupancy, additional persons $25 each): 

Twin (standard, 6)                 $100 ($125)
Timberline (standard, 44)          $100 ($170)
Chalet (shared bath, 6)             $75  ($75)
Large Corner (2)                   $125 ($190)
Fireplace (8)                      $140 ($200)
The numbers in parentheses following the room name/description are the number of rooms available in that catagory. One night's deposit required to hold the reservation.

Our room block expires March 15! If you have not booked a room yet, do so immediately. As of March 14, only 7 regular rooms, 2 "Fireplace" rooms, and a few "Chalet" (dorm style) rooms remain. I expect the remaining rooms will go fast when they are released to the public.

If all rooms are taken, contact Al Harris ( Alan.W.Harris@jpl.nasa.gov) for listings of other accommodations in Government camp, about 5 miles down the road. Prices are about the same as the lodge and you'll need a car, but it's all that is available if the lodge sells out.
