Looks like I'll be travelling to the DOM Muster with my usual 'batman', Roger ....
Colonel Pitspitr - I am even thinking of trying to convince him to try shooting, this time. If I manage to do that, would there be any difficulty on a relatively late registration as a Muster participant?
By the way for those who don't want to camp .... but would also prefer not to be staying 20 or 30 miles away ..... I have reserved a room at the Comstock Premier Lodge, which appears to be only two miles or so (as the crow flies) from the Muster site! (Mind you, I gather it may be five or six miles by road ....)
Jerry admits that he forgets to mention this place because it was actually started as a private hunting lodge with very expensive membership. However, it is now operated as a Bed & Breakfast, and looks pretty upscale!
Mind you, at $110/night it isn't cheap..... but if you have to pay at least $70 or $80 for a decent motel room anyway plus spend time and money driving 50 miles or so each day, I think it is worth it.
I understand it is a "per room" rate - i.e. same price regardless of how many people are sleeping in the room (.... within reason, of course, and it only includes breakfast for two people, but additional breakfasts are $5.00 each.) They even have a "Bunk Room" which has four single beds in it - also $110/night. If four guys were willing to share that one (.... rather reminiscent of the barracks at previous National Musters?.....) the cost per night, with two additional breakfasts, would work out to only $30 per person .....
