Bob,
No problem, glad I could help. However, I'm confused as according to the
site itinerary 4/26 is Golden, 4/27 is Gunnison, 4/28 is Mesa Verde.

Dick, thanks for making the effort! Apparently the electronic
reservations system for Aramark is down, and Orbitz was simply defaulting to
"no rooms available." Good news for us.
Here is the official Motels list for the Colorado Sector:
Night of:
April 24 Golden Hotel, Golden CO
April 25 Golden Hotel, Golden CO
April 26 Best Western Tomichi Village Inn, Gunnison
April 27 Far View Lodge, Mesa Verde NP
alternate: Best Western Durango Inn And Suites, Durango
April 28 Best Western Sands, Cortez
alternate: Far View Lodge, Mesa Verde NP
Details are attached as ColoradoLodging.pdf for Dick and Mark. Anyone
else who is interesed can read it at http://tinyurl.com/2j8kd
I will be staying at home for the Golden/Denver nights, and the listed
motels the other nights. Right now no one but myself and my rider are
joining at Golden.
I will change my own reservations to Far View Lodge on the 27 and Best
Western - Cortez on the 28. The drive to Page will be a long one, and the
half hour head start will help lengthen the time available for sightseeing.
Being half the price helps, too. Those who value peace and quiet over a
telephone connection, and not having to vacate their room every single
morning, will probably prefer to stay both nights at the Lodge.
The afternoon tour of Mesa Verde is unavailable until after May 1,
unfortunately. The morning and all-day tours, however, are available and I
shall probably be taking the all-day tour myself. Tour-free exploration is
available for those who prefer it, except for key ruins. Those require a
Ranger escort, but are inexpensive ($2.75 for a one hour tour) and run
hourly for the ruins open this early in the season. If you do not wish to
devote an entire day to the Park, stay in Durango Tuesday night and spend
the morning seeing the sights there.
By the way, Best Western shows all their rates on their own site, and
these match the best which can be gotten from the discount websites such as
Orbitz and Travelocity. You should be aware that the cheapest rate for one
BW is NOT necessarily the cheapest rate at another. I am AAA rate at two of
them and "BestRates" at the third.
Dick and Mark, you are two thirds of the Colorado contingent at the
moment. Your input is welcome.

We have a group of rooms reserved at the Far View Lodge at Mesa Verde.
Participants are to call 1-800-449-2288, which is a direct line to
Reservations and mention JONAT ( or "the Jaguar Group")
We are receiving a 25% discount and the rate is $82.00/night plus tax.
NOTE: This is the ONLY lodging in the Park and those who miss out will
probably have to find accommodations in Cortez or Mancos (good luck)
which
will complicate things if they want to tour the ruins, etc.
I strongly advise that participants contact Far View IMMEDIATELY and
reserve
a room. The General Manager will hold them as long as possible but they
won't last forever. This is a very popular tourist attraction and bus
tours
are common, so one bus can wipe out a lot of rooms.
BTW, the GM at Far View is also interested in buying a 120FHC, so let me
know if anyone has a line on one.
