I am still hoping to be there. With the move and all the craziness that involves, I am unable to say 100% for sure but I am sure going to give it my best shot. I may have to sleep in Hammond's car trunk but I have slept in worse places--I hope. The trunk is fairly roomy and has fewer flies than does the Modern. How's $25 a night sound?

Sadly, I will miss this one, as a gig I had been working on for over 6 months came through, and Saturday the twelveth was the only date I could get.

I'm booked in at the Modern Motel.
Looks like some folks may be staying at the Urbana Inn & Suites, 5369 Hutton Dr Urbana, IA 52345, (319) 443-8888. We know the place as everybody stayed here before the Cobblestone was built.
I found a few other places somewhat nearby, sorry, don't know what they are like.
Relax-inn 421 Franklin St Center Point, IA 52213 (319) 849-9050 S.E. of Urbana about 20 minute drive to Vinton
Golden Door Motel 515 1st St Traer, IA 50675 (319) 478-2771 East of Vinton about 25 minutes.
Todd is checking on these places.

You're risking your marriage by staying at the Modern, Marty? Once I inform her that the alliterative is camping she'll think the Modern is the Ritz.

Todd says the Rockwood is to be avoided at all costs, FYI, folks.

The only available rooms at the Moderne are smoking rooms. Guess I'll look elsewhere.

I just booked what appears to be the last room at the Modern. Its a smoking room, and I'm happy to share, but you'll have to bring your own weed.

We may wind up at Rogers Park campground. We have a large cabin size tent and a queen size, firm, elevated bed. If it isn't too hot, that might be all we'll need. It's located here ==> tinyurl.com/pq8eezo

I have info from the Cobblestone. They have a wedding party that has reserved a block of 21 rooms for Friday, that does not mean they are all booked. On Aug. 28 any unreserved rooms from that party will be available to us. According to the Cobblestone management the normal outcome is if they block 15 rooms 3 will get reserved by the party, so out of 21 rooms there will probably be 12 to 15 rooms available on Aug 29. They know we want these rooms and are very pleased to have us back so hang in there folks and either Todd or I will keep you updated on this.

The RV park just across the interstate from Urbana was fine the 2 yrs we had the RV there. Both years they were getting ready to shut down for the winter and go to TX so there was almost no one there.

I called a few years about doing that before, but it required me using my credit card to hold them, and honestly, I'm not willing to do that.

As soon as we set the date for IJ, I call the Cobblestone and reserve a room. I can always cancel if something prevents me coming. This system works pretty well.
