Trip Route 2019 Official

[Russ]

We had a lot going on in the previous thread so I thought I would start a new one with the offical dates we have locked in.  Approximate locations I think are pretty well decided with the Rapid City SD area being the first stop and the Steamboat Springs CO area being the next.  Nearby towns are fine and might be dependent on available accommodations and things do and see.  Nothing set yet for the half way point on the way home. 

Friday June 7th - Home to Rapid City SD https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/33340361

Gentlemen.

Here are some choices for the Rapid City area:

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/26062527?s=51 = $1140 (Friday night thru Monday - 3 nights) *This one is nice but does not have A/C.

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/32693335?s=51 = $1386 (Friday night thru Monday - 3 nights) *This one has a garage, I think we can sweet talk them into letting us utilize it.

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/19178318?s=51 = $1369 (Friday night thru Monday - 3 nights) *This one has a garage, I think we can sweet talk them into letting us utilize it.

I will check for more tonight...back to work!

i suppose it that time of the season where the prices go up for lodging for the tourist and campers visiting the black Hills?  would we want to stay more central located in the Hills, go to Rushmore, the wind cave, the needles road, etc.?  we got two days to do all of this!!

[Nathan]

Nickoli, I am not sure what you mean by in the hills or centrally located...these are in the hills.  All are located by Lead.  I am not finding many closer to Rapid City.

This one is also in or near Lead, but much cheaper.

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/25085653?s=51 = $871 (Friday night thru Monday - 3 nights)

[Nick]

that one looks cozy and better priced. i like it!!  just forget my comment on centrally located, i realize the black hills is not that huge, that we cant navigate from anywhere from where we stay with ease!!  2 wheel riders will dominate the hills!!

[Nathan]

Yes!  Let us dominate!!

How about these?

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/19177288?s=51 = $1156 (Friday night thru Monday - 3 nights)

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/14199669?s=51 = $1362 (Friday night thru Monday - 3 nights) by Deadwood.

I changed some settings in my search and I am finding more now. I will keep posting, pick your favorites, and then we will narrow it down to three and pick one.

[Nick]

Not to Speak for anyone else, but i am up for bargain priced lodging.  it can add up fast!!

[Nathan]

Okay, Nick.  What would be your preferred top dollar per person per night price?

[Nick]

$96.77

[Nathan]

That is very specific!  So, you are saying nothing more than the Gold Run Cabin @ $871 for the 3 days...

[Nick]

Better deals are always welcomed!!!

[Russ]

Hmm, $871/3= $290.33  290.33/3= $96.77  Nicks reply #8 $96.77.  Coincidence???   

If we are bargain shopping, yea, Nathans reply #3 is the best.  We don't get garage space and would have to share bedrooms.

If a garage and bedrooms are important, these get my vote:

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/32693335?s=51 = $1386 (Friday night thru Monday - 3 nights) *This one has a garage, I think we can sweet talk them into letting us utilize it.
https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/19178318?s=51 = $1369 (Friday night thru Monday - 3 nights) *This one has a garage, I think we can sweet talk them into letting us utilize it.

If Shawn is coming for the 3 first nights, my opinion would be to go for one of the more expensive so we each have a bedroom and possibly a garage and would be able to justify the more expensive cost by splitting it 4 ways. 

[Nathan]

Russ,

I thought you told us to not plan on Shawn...should we now, at least for the Black Hills?

Please let me know how to proceed.

Thanks,

[Nathan]

Hey thanks Nathan for all the options!  I like the $625 with the garage!  I will bring a sleeping bag and hit the couch if I have to!!??.  Not trying to be a cheap ass, just thrifty!!
