Save The Date!

Hello Park family! We have set a date and location for the 2009 reunion and hope that you will plan now to attend. Lava Hot Springs is in southeastern Idaho. Go to www.lavahotsprings.org to find a little bit about the town.
We have reserved the Ranch Inn Motel for July 9-10-11. I wish I had a picture to post, but we didn't think to take one when we were there. There are a variety of lodging choices at the motel, including:
  • Motel rooms (from $50-85) each room has a small fridge, microwave, color TV amd private bath. There are only 9 units. If you want one of these, you will have to reserve it early. If you are unable to get a room at the Ranch Inn, there is other lodging available within a one to ten minute drive.
  • RV hook-ups (full is $40, electricity only is $30) I have asked that 5 of each be held for our reunion. (If you want one, you still have to make a reseveration)
  • Dry camping (bring your own tent for $20) If you plan to bring a tent, do not make the reservation through the motel, make it through me. I will keep track of how many spots we need and tell her two weeks before the reunion. You will pay when you arrive. If you choose this option, you will have access to the two outdoor restrooms which have showers, sinks and toilets.
  • Three small and one large yurts (small are $60, large is $100) The smalls have beds to sleep four, a TV, microwave, air conditioning, but no bathroom or water, however you will have access to the two outdoor restrooms as described above. The large yurt has two queens, 2Fulls, 1 Roll-away, a large couch and a love seat, 2 stools, a microwave, a fridge with freezer, air-conditioning and room for a tent outside, and use of the outdoor restrooms. Sleeping on the floor is also permitted.
  • One teepee ($30) 16 feet, sleeps 10 or more; no beds, no bath, but access to the restrooms, as described above. She said it's a favorite of teens

All these prices are per night...

There is also a community clothes dryer for wet towels and swimsuits, an air compressor for tubes and air mattresses, two porta-johns (in addition to to restrooms), and a volleyball area. The property sits next to the river front, so you can swim, fish or tube for free if you want.

Marie will hold all of the accommodations until April 1st. Her prices were the lowest of all those we were able to get prices from. When making your reservations, be sure and mention that you are with the Park Family Reunion group. Phone 208-776-9917 with a Master Card or Visa number ready to give her. I know of at least one other reunion being held the same weekend as ours, so I strongly suggest that you make reservations as soon as you are able, regardless of where you plan to stay.

More details to follow. Any questions, call Linda at 435-789-8256.
