Ok, I have been looking around and found a few places to stay in Eureka Springs. I am waiting for them to respond to me about availability for the dates in June.

www.thealpendorfmotel.com (http://www.thealpendorfmotel.com)
www.wagnerinn.com (http://www.wagnerinn.com)
I need everyone who wants to go to post on this thread cause I have seemed to have lost my list I had started.
I also want those who had suggested motels to repost them so I can contact them to discuss the availability.
Well, So far it's you and me. If thats the way it turns out please be sure to get seperate rooms.

I am making that week my first choice when the vacation list gets to me at the first of the year, so I am planning to be there by hook or crook.
Sorry for dropping the planning ball on you Kevin. This turnaround has been a cast iron bitch. I have 8 more night shifts to go until I get a weekend off and roll back to my regular shift schedule. I start seven days off just in time to hit Galveston for the Lone Star Rally. Hope to see some of the local Nomad contingent down there.
Count me in bluetongue......I've been super busy at work lately and haven't had time to join in.
But, I'm in!

Sorry for not doing any updating on this thread but we went to the TXVROC MIM in Austin. Just rolled in had a great time wished all yall could of been there. I may have recruited a couple of folks to ride up to ES this June.
I am going to call the Alpendorf Motel on Monday to get rates and all the info. I do believe this will be the best deal for us.

Help please. Newbie to forum and computers too. I am interested in attending the Central event in Arkansas. I went to the site here and it just takes me to the general forum, like in a circle. Where can I get info etc. BTW, never been to an event like this, is there an agenda, whats there to do, besides ofcourse getting to see other cool Nomads. And one more thing -- can anyone tell me how to post pics of my bike, i have a digital camera and can take a picture, but then I am lost. Love my Nomad, just put a thunder airkit on and a FI2000r. I have cobras slashcuts true duals, but haven't had time to put them on. Oh, I also removed the reed valves and put coasters on. Now with the reed valves and the CIS removed the engine is less noisy. this is a great forum.

I wished. Between getting my wife ready for her MSF course,going to Austin for TXVROC MIM, traveling for work and selling my house I seem to have run out of time to keep up. I think I passed myself this morning.LOL
Are these dates set yet.....1000 miles for me from the east coast...but I might consider....if others are coming from other areas......??
Todd, I was planning on going over to the Central rally if it ends up happening after the Eastern rally. I was thinking I saw dates somewhere that were after ours. Can't remember which thread it was under though.

Hello All!! My name is Delinda, and I am fairly new to the forum. I definitely plan on attending the event in Eureka Springs... We are only about an hour away, and is a very nice trip. We have a small company down here that sells motorcycle accessories and I am hoping to bring some of our stuff for everyone to see. Also hoping to develop some rally shirts for everyone. Oh, might want to check out the Iron Horse Stables. They have a super nice motorcycle only setup with an onsite bar and place to eat. Visited the place this year at the VROC rally if anyone went...
Welcome to the forum Miss Delinda. I look forward to meeting you in Eureka Springs.
The 2008 Central Region Gathering is scheduled for the weekend of June 26th-28th.
Kawgirl, here is the other thread:
http://kawanow.proboards77.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1189544978
Glad you made it on Delinda.......welcome to KawaNOW.
Delinda and her husband have a company in Arkansas that makes various accessories for the Nomad including the hard bag covers that I have on my Nomad. They want to be a vendor at the Central Rally......Sounds cool to me.
Trip
so june 26- 29 are set in stone now for the Central???
If so, are you still planning to go Todd? That will be the week after the eastern rally. At this point, I'm planning to attend. I was thinking I would make my way across from W Va and find places to visit along the way.

June 26-29 2008. Arrive Thursday or Friday morning depending on your butts ability to be in the saddle.
I am still waiting on The Apline Dorf to get back with me on a discount. I am going to block 15 rooms for the above dates. So as soon as I find out more info I will post it.

OK everyone we need to make a decision do we want to stay at Riders Rest which has only ten rooms and camping. I just talked to them had they have all ten rooms available for the dates of the Rally. They have 7 rooms with 2 double beds and 3 with kings. They are very accustomed to hosting Rallies. Still have not heard back for the Alpine Dorf. The Riders Rest will even help with routes to ride in the area. I like the idea of a place that deals with bikers only.
Post up with your opinions. I need one of the King beds.LOL
Will post as soon as I hear back from the Alpine Dorf.
If some folks want to stay at other motels that is fine by me since the Riders Rest is lacking in rooms for everyone.

So, question: is anyone planning on bringing buddies without Nomads? We have several buddies we usually go to all the rallies with... they have Vulcans, but not NADs....

I'd say the more the merrier, Delinda. Even though this is a KawaNOW Nad rally, anything on two wheels can certainly come.
